The Ravens are dedicated to operating a franchise at the highest level of excellence that will deliver high value for our fans, players, parents, and corporate partners.
For our players, we will deliver on the promise of giving them the opportunity and resources to rise to the highest level of hockey their talent and hard work allow. For our parents, we will maintain a culture of high moral integrity, a focus on educational excellence, and a chance for their son to continue developing as a player and a young man. For our fans, we will always strive to put the best product on the ice possible and reward their patronage with an enjoyable, entertaining hockey experience. For our promotional partners, we will represent them positively to the community, take care of their customers or members, and return the goodwill they share with us.
Ultimately the team’s success will be defined by both our win-loss record and how well we are able to move players up in the ranks of hockey. In order to do so we will focus on three core competencies.
First, Head Coach Adam Kurtenbach creates an up-tempo system of play that will enable players to understand the game and perform at a level that allows them to take the next step in their hockey careers. We will make extensive use of video technology to ensure our players have the opportunity not just to play the game, but to analyze their performance and self-evaluate. Research in all areas of human development shows the greatest gains occur when individuals engage in a deep process of self-evaluation and performance goal-setting.
Second, skill development will be a major focus of all on-ice training. Many players at this level get comfortable with their degree of skill development and plateau in their skill growth. By investing so much time and energy on individual growth, players will have the opportunity to improve as much as their hard work and talent will take them under the guidance of a master coach.
Finally, fitness training will be a fundamental component to the entire program. In order to move up, players must be in top physical condition. At the end of the day, each player is responsible for developing and maintaining their own strength and fitness, but our program will focus on core strength, power, agility, and flexibility.
The Seattle Ravens are excited about the future. Please join us in reaching our ultimate destination of playing championship hockey that delivers for our players and supporters.
