Introducing Head Coach Joel Widmeyer
Hello.  My name is Joel Widmeyer and I am the head coach of the U11AA 2022/23 Raven’s Hockey team.   




I grew up playing hockey in Waterloo at the highest level possible through minor hockey.  I graduated from minor hockey playing multiple seasons with the Jr. B Siskins and the Jr. B Guelph Holiday Platters.  I ended my career playing 4 years with the University of Waterloo Warriors.   

This will be the 5th year where I have coached hockey (boys and girls) as a head or assistant coach.  Outside of advancing all team members' skill level and understanding of the game of hockey, my vision is to pass along life skills including: strong work ethic, tenacity, positive attitudes and to approach winning and losing with grace and humility.  I want to foster the players with a sense of belonging and a sense of accountability to something bigger than themselves: their team and teammates!   

It is also so important for young players to be surrounded by exceptional women athletes who embody commitment to team, work ethic and empowerment in sport and hockey.  “If you can see it you can be it”.  I am thrilled to be sharing this years coaching responsibility with 2 exceptional female assistant coaches (forward and goalie).  More to come on their bios in the coming weeks.  

If you have any questions about the 2022/23 U11 AA team please reach out to:   Joel Widmeyer 5194971201 [email protected]
