Innisfil Minor Hockey Association Announces Steve Hopkins as U8 MD Coach for 2025–26 Season
Innisfil Minor Hockey Association is proud to announce Steve Hopkins as the Head Coach of the U8 MD team for the 2025–26 season.

Steve brings a strong coaching background, with valuable experience at older age levels. Most recently, he had tremendous success leading both the U7 Local League and U7 Competitive Player Pathway (CPP) teams during the 2024–25 season. His ability to create a fun, development-focused environment allowed players to build confidence, develop key foundational skills, and fall in love with the game.

His passion for coaching and commitment to player development are at the core of his approach. With a focus on skill progression, teamwork, and character building, Steve is excited to continue that momentum into 2025–26 as he guides our young Winterhawks through their first year of MD hockey.
 

Please join us in welcoming Steve Hopkins to his new role. We’re looking forward to another strong season of growth, development, and success for our U8 MD team!
