MD Coaches
U8 MD Coach - Andrew Maertens
Hello Coyote Families,
I would like to take this time to introduce myself, my name is Andrew Maertens and I have accepted the head coaching position for the U8 MD hockey team for the upcoming 2025/2026 hockey season. Thanks to BDMHA for giving me this challenging opportunity to help teach and further develop hockey skills for these young future stars, I am very honored to be selected as head coach and extremely excited for the upcoming season.
I am relatively new to coaching, having just completed my first full season as head coach for one of the Burford U7 local league teams this past 2024/2025 season. It was both challenging and very rewarding watching the kids progress throughout the season, I feel confident in my coaching abilities based on the positive feedback I received from players, parents and coaches through the course of the season and during the end of the season booster day events. I believe my strong work ethic and commitment to the hockey program resulted in a rewarding season for all the kids involved in the U7 program last season.
My entire hockey career was spent playing through the Burford Minor Hockey system, starting out at the house league level and eventually advancing to the rep level. I have an honest passion for the game and still play today.
I look forward to the exciting challenges that lie ahead as we prepare to implement the U8 MD program into the Burford Hockey Community for this upcoming 2025/2026 hockey season. I invite all those interested in this level of hockey to keep an eye on the Burford Minor Hockey website for updated information regarding pre-skates and evaluations taking place this coming fall.

U9 MD Coach - Mike Henrique
Hi Coyotes!
I would like to start by thanking the BDMHA executive and coaching committee for selecting me to have the opportunity to coach the 2025/26 U9MD Burford Coyotes.
It is an honor to be selected and we are looking forward to having an eventful season as one of the only rep teams left to be able to represent Burford Minor Hockey.
I have multiple years of coaching experience including (2) seasons as an assistant coach for the Woodstock Jr. Navy Vets single A.
I have also been involved with Burford Minor hockey as a coach for the past 3 seasons, coaching U6 in 2022/23 and 2024/25. As well as U7 in 2023/24 and U8 in 2024/25.
With experience throughout my life in hockey, I look forward to challenges and achievements of the new season ahead.
We encourage and welcome any players eligible for U9 to have a chance to join in our great season.
Look to the BDMHA website for updates on pre-skates and evaluation dates!
