Coaching Staff:

Colorado North Stars is excited about the 2011-2012 season and the involvement of quality coaches and staff.  In an effort to provide a high quality of coaching, we invited back certain staff members from last year and added a few new coaches this year.  As a result, we believe this year’s staff will be able to take us to the next level.  Our coaches are required to pass a background check, and will be involved in coaching clinics throughout the season to improve all aspects of their performance.
