Raffi Torres

Hockey is at the heart of our Markham community, and the Coach Torres’ team is built on hard work, character, and a commitment to development. Led by Raffi Torres, a former fifth overall NHL draft pick, World Junior bronze medalist, and 12-year NHL veteran, our program emphasizes competing at the highest level while fostering a culture that feels like family.

We emphasize:

• Good Habits – Success starts with the little details, in practice and in games.
• Compete Level – Maximum effort every shift, every battle, every day.
• Playing the Right Way – Discipline, teamwork, and respect for the game.
• Development First – Skills, mindset, and growth come before the scoreboard.

Coach Torres knows what it takes to succeed at the next level, and he’s committed to helping young athletes develop both their skills and mindset. If you bring the effort, the Waxers will help you take your game to the next level—on and off the ice.
