Hockey Manitoba is pleased to announce that the Five Slides with Sobby & Landy High Performance Coach Webinar Series is back for a second season, featuring high performance coaches Jordan Sobkowicz (St. James Assiniboia Hockey Academy) and Kevin Landreville (St. John’s-Ravenscourt Eagles Varsity Boys Head Coach).

The purpose of this five-part coaching webinar series is to provide coaches in Manitoba with an opportunity to increase their knowledge base through engaging dialogue and instruction from experienced coaches.

Registration is FREE and the webinars will take place starting on Monday October 24, 2022 and will be hosted on Zoom. Certified High Performance 1 and Development 1 coaches will earn three (3) PD Points for each clinic they attend. The clinics are not limited to those coaches though, they are open to everyone.

Each webinar will have a specific theme and will feature five slides in total that will be broken down into two short presentations. Sobby & Landy will each discuss the topic of the week and will then turn it over to the guest speaker, who will present their own slide. More information on the topics can be found below.

The series will encourage critical thinking and will be fun in nature as the ultimate goal is to share information and skills that can be used by coaches at all levels.

Coaches who sign up for this five-part series will receive all presentation slides, extra resources and a drill of the week.

Please note: Registration for each webinar will be limited to a maximum of 60 participants.
