Jeff Mielnicki (Coach Mel)

Pee Wee A

The 2008 -2009 season will be my 9^th season of coaching travel hockey for the Arapahoe Hockey Association and 10^th overall with Arapahoe.  This will be my 4^th season as a Head Coach. My travel experience includes every level from Mites – Bantams. Other coaching experience includes CCYHL Selects and Littleton hockey.

 I try to keep my goals simple. Develop your child into a better hockey player.  Players will learn that team goals and respect of the game are expected from all players.  Fun and work have the same meaning. Chemistry can be created on every team. All players will learn commitment, dedication and effort.

My playing experience included playing goal for the Detroit Junior Red Wings and going “one on one” with Joe Sakic on Fox Sports to benefit the Colorado Youth at Risk Charity.

I am currently the President of the Pinch Hitters for Youth Foundation and the Cherry Creek Baseball Diamond Club.

My wife Jackie and I have 3 boys, Jeff, Alec and Brady. 

I am looking forward to a great season of hockey.
