JEMIMA THORP
At Push Bak Hockey, we want you to get to know the people behind the bench—our dedicated coaches. Each coach brings a unique hockey background, from years of playing at competitive levels to training in skill development, and all share a deep passion for the game. Beyond their technical knowledge, what truly drives them is the opportunity to mentor young players, foster confidence, and pass on the love of hockey. For our coaches, the rink is more than a place to teach—it’s a space to inspire, connect, and create experiences that make coaching such a rewarding journey.
