Meet the RHA Staff

Ron played hockey for 15 years up to Midget Triple AAA and has coached various teams for 10 years. In 2015 Ron founded JR Riggers as a spring hockey program to supplement the minor hockey winter program. After a few successful spring seasons and a high interest in the program, Ron decided to expand the academy to year-round programming and joined the Hockey Super League (HSL) for the 2019-20 winter season. In 2020, the JR Riggers was rebranded to become Riggers Hockey Academy (RHA). Ron hopes to develop high level hockey players not restricted by boundaries and he strives to meet the developmental goals of families looking for more than what minor hockey offers. His passion for the game extends to RHA and fostering success in the next generation of hockey players.

Nathan brings a deep understanding of the goaltending position to our program. Having played just under 20 years as a goalie, including 4 years of Junior A and 2 years at NAIT, Nathan has pivoted to coaching over the last 4 years.

Having founded True North Goaltending, Nathan focuses on breaking down the position so that goalies understand the why behind what they are doing and can build a solid foundation for consistent and efficient goaltending.

Hockey has been a part of Tim's life since he was a kid. After playing competitive hockey for many years and at many levels- AAA, Junior, and Pro- he never really considered coaching until he was asked to coach at the Bantam level. This is when he realized he had a passion for it. Tim enjoys helping the kids learn and develop, while teaching them the many components of hockey. The fantastic coaching he received at all the levels has given him a strong foundation to build from.  Building character, helping kids develop their hockey skills, and making sure their hockey experience will grow friendships for life is his main focus as a coach. 

As a Development 1 Certified Coach, Stacy is heading into his 13th season of coaching.  His experience ranges from initiation to U18, most recently as assistant coach with Spartan Major HSL.  Stacy's coaching philosophy is "Confidence Builds Champions".  His goal is to develop players into better hockey players and to teach the value of "TEAM".
