Staffing Philosophy
First and foremost, our staff members are educators. RMHS instructors are all accomplished coaches, trainers, and teachers responsible for youth hockey associations, professional hockey clubs, college clubs, and even third-grade classrooms. As a result, we are well trained to listen, observe, and talk with each camper to determine what they NEED to work on and what they WANT to work on. This builds a solid developmental foundation for the rest of the camp and allows us to determine the best way to work with, reach, and educate each of our students individually.
Many camps post decisive student-to-teacher ratios, even going so far as hiring high school-aged players with little or no teaching experience to meet these stated numbers. We take a different approach. We do not believe it is the NUMBER of staff that is important, but the QUALITY of the staff that indeed dictates the success of any program. RMHS utilizes its Instructor Training Protocol to train and prepare its staff to teach the RMHS Skill Development Camp Progressions, properly manage all on-ice sessions, and effectively and individually communicate with each camper. As a result of this commitment, our camps are staffed by Head and Lead Instructors only, all of whom are highly trained, more experienced, and better suited to the management and teaching needs inherent in an RMHS camp.

RMHS Alumni Coaches
The RMHS Alumni Coaches have shown leadership as students and expressed interest in growing their coaching involvement over the years. They display the patience to work with youth hockey players of all ages and levels. Some of our best staff members are our alumni, and they understand the curriculum and mission RMHS wants players to learn.
Student/Intern Coaches
RMHS prides itself on developing our students and young, aspiring coaches looking to be involved with young athletes and coach hockey. These coaches may still be pursuing a career in hockey at the high school, Tier I, or Junior levels. Student/Intern Coaches are often considered superstars and provide a great example to our current campers of the level they can achieve.
