We have created an identity for the Express Hockey Club that emphasizes player development. The Express' focus on the players is vital to the success of this club moving forward. Securing passionate, knowledgeable coaches is crucial to the development and retention of players at every level. Several of our current coaching staff are Express Alumni who wish to give back and be a part of the club's future.

With the development of the Jr. Express program there is a true feeder program that this club has greatly needed. With over 300 participants in the Learn to Play Hockey program administered by the Park Ridge Park District, we now have a solid foundation to build on.  In addition, cross representation with our coaches will benefit both the Jr. Express and LTPH programs as well as the Express travel program. I believe we need to develop and promote our elite players to local AAA clubs.

Our goal is to prepare and develop players to play at the highest level.  If we are graduating players on to the AAA level, we as a club are doing our job. I have seen several players in the past few seasons transition into Tier I hockey which the Express take great pride in.

I look forward to working with all the Express families to make the club a successful organization for many years to come.
