U8 MD Michael Chow & Stephen Wong (Markham Waxers)

Michael started his hockey career with the Bradford Baby Bulls (Select) when he was 4 years old playing goalie and later transitioned to player, finishing off his hockey career with the Wexford Raiders AAA. 

Michael is new to coaching. He has volunteered to coach a U7 House League team, as well as an Assistant Coach with the U7 Select team, where he has enjoyed helping the kids gain the skills needed to be well rounded players. Michael believes natural skill is good to have but attitude is the most important trait to have in hockey. His view on hockey is, if you are able to have a good attitude and willing to put in the hard work, it will make you a better hockey player and person. 

 

Michael is looking forward to passing on his knowledge of the game and most importantly to make sure the players have a fun time which is why we are here in the first place!

Stephen has been involved in hockey for many years as a player, instructor, and coach, gaining a comprehensive understanding of the game at all levels. Growing up in Markham, he played AAA hockey with the Markham Waxers before advancing to Junior level hockey with the Waxers, St. Catharines Falcons, and the Welland Jr. Canadiens.

In addition to his playing experience, Stephen has spent many years working at hockey schools, helping young athletes develop their skills and progress to higher levels of competition. He believes player development is about more than just technical skills—it’s about fostering confidence, work ethic, and a genuine love for the game.
