Episode 19: Matt Holmberg Coach Life 2.0
-
- 自我提升
This week’s episode features Matt Holmberg. Matt is entering into his 15th season with the Queen’s University women’s hockey program, and his 12th season as Head Coach.
Queens has made the playoffs in all twelve seasons with Holmberg at the helm, and they have the second highest winning percentage in the OUA over that span.
He holds the Gael’s women’s hockey record for most regular season and playoff wins by a coach with 203, and has won numerous OUA Coach of the Year Titles during his tenure.
Matt has led the Gaels to 2 OUA Championship titles, 2 OUA silver medals, and a Bronze Medal at the USports National women’s hockey championship in 2011.
The success of the Gaels women’s hockey program goes beyond the ice. His team also has a 100% graduation rate among it’s players, and in 2019-20, his team set a program record with a 3.539 cumulative GPA.
Matt is a High Performance Level 2 certified coach who served as the USports Women’s Hockey Coaches Association President from 2013-2016. He is also associated with Hockey Canada and the OWHA at various events and camps, both on and off the ice.
Matt’s story is a unique one. A native of Pembroke, Ontario, he graduated from Queen’s Law in 1997, and practiced for 13 years before transitioning into his career as a hockey coach. He is a husband, a father, and someone that I respect immensely in the hockey community.
