My mission is development. My method is contemporary.
My name is Brian Gillam, and I founded Brian Gillam Hockey to provide professional, high quality development services to minor hockey players, teams, coaches and associations.
Through my 35+ years of working in player and coach development with Hockey Canada and Hockey Eastern Ontario, high performance coaching and private player development I have built a thorough understanding of the development needs of stake holders at all levels of the game.
​​
My program designs and delivery methods are based on contemporary frameworks and approaches to skill acquisition & learning, and supported by research. Using representative learning designs and a constraints led approach that keeps the player at the center of the learning process I am able to address all development needs of the player. These contemporary approaches and frameworks also form the core of my coach and association programs.​
​
Let Brian Gillam Hockey support you in your development needs.
