2026/2027 U15AA Coach Spotlight
I wanted to quickly introduce myself; I’m Steve Barfoot the U15 AA coach for the upcoming 2026/27 season.

I wanted to quickly introduce myself; I’m Steve Barfoot the U15 AA coach for the upcoming 2026/27 season. After playing minor hockey and 5 seasons with the Junior C Hanover Barons, I’ve been coaching the Walkerton Girls U18 BB for the last 3 years. I’m joining the Saugeen Maitland Lightning Organization with over 25 of coaching experience from being the assistant coach for the Hanover Barons Jr C team for two seasons and the Walkerton Hawks Jr  C team for one season along with coaching boys and girls’ minor hockey.

I believe in coaching the entire athlete, not just their stats.  My goal is to foster confidence and leadership and a love for the game in every player, preparing them for success on and off the ice.  I’m a “players coach” always ready to listen to the players and their ideas and suggestions.  Our hockey team is our family for the winter, treating one another with kindness, respect and sportsmanship.

I’m excited to utilize my experience and knowledge.  Our season will consist of individual skill development, application of team tactics and systems, off ice activities promoting teamwork and personal growth will also be scheduled throughout the season.

I’m looking forward to seeing you at our upcoming Spring try outs!
