As a kid playing in the Riverside Minor Hockey Association, I was fortunate to have really good people coaching me, solidifying my love of the game. My hockey journey then took me to Windsor AAA, four seasons of local junior C and B hockey and finally four years with the University of Windsor Lancers.
Since graduating, there has not been a year where I haven’t coached multiple sports/teams. As an elementary school teacher, I have coached both boys and girls. As for hockey, I’ve also coached in Sun County, Tecumseh, and Riverside Minor Hockey Associations and at the University of Windsor.
Philosophically, my objectives are pretty simple. I expect my players to work hard and be coachable, so that they can improve their hockey sense and skills. I have always felt that young athletes have the best chance to reach their potential as players and people, if they believe they are a valued and contributing member of the team.
I am excited to be heading into my fourth season with the Windsor Wildcats. The positive experience my coaching staff and I have had over the past three seasons, makes me confident that we’ll have another in 2025-2026!
My name is Candice Chevalier and hockey has been a part of my life since I was eight years old. I started playing in the SPFHA and that’s where my love for the game took off. I played many years as a wildcat, leading me to play Junior for Southwest and being grateful enough to earn a scholarship and play 5 seasons for the University of Windsor. I finished my career in Boston in pursuit of trying to make the former NWHL.
For the past 9 years I have been working at Hotel Dieu Grace Hospital in cardiac and stroke rehab where my passion has been helping patients rehab and improve their quality of life.
Through the years I’ve gained so many life skills, friends and valuable lessons both on and off the ice. I’ve coached at various levels from u9 all the way up to coach/train varsity/University athletes.
My philosophy is simple….help make these young women the best version of themselves and allow them to reach their full potential both as hockey players and as human beings off the ice.
I am very much looking forward to coaching these young athletes and having a great 2025/2026 season. Bring it on!
Hi, my name is Rod Isbister. As a coach, my philosophy is focused on hard work, teamwork and fun. This allows players to not only improve their game, but to also become the best version of themselves, both on and off the ice. Discipline, perseverance and maximum effort are skills that can be learned by all players and then applied to every day life.
