Quote from Darryl Belfry:

"I am thrilled to officially join the IHS team as an owner. The IHS platform is best in class in the coach and player development online resource space and is a company driven to bring the best possible learning opportunities for its membership. For me, Ice Hockey Systems is the perfect platform to work with as they have the capacity to bring my vision for player development and hockey education to an ever growing audience of coaches, helping shape the next generation of teachers. From the first time I worked with Chris Howard, Scott Goergen and Chelsey Pollari on “The Belfry Way” I knew that the IHS team was capable of executing a vision, capturing the essence of storytelling, and bringing ideas to the screen. It is an honour to work from the inside of the IHS team and their phenomenal group of professional collaborators. I am beyond excited to have a home in this space to create real impact in the growth and development of hockey."
