MISSION

At Goldrush Hockey Club, our mission is to create a supportive and inclusive environment where young athletes can develop their hockey skills, learn valuable life lessons, and foster lifelong friendships through our exceptional advanced training programs. Our highly qualified and experienced coaching staff is dedicated to providing unparalleled instruction, ensuring that our athletes receive the top-tier training necessary to excel in the sport of hockey.

We are committed to offering accessible opportunities for youth of all backgrounds to participate in hockey and benefit from our outstanding training programs. Our focus on progress over perfection, combined with our amazing facilities and resources, guarantees a competitive edge that sets our club apart from others in the area.

By instilling a strong work ethic and fostering a love for the game, we aim to shape well-rounded individuals on and off the ice. At Goldrush Hockey Club, we take pride in empowering our athletes to reach their full potential, providing them with the elite-level training and support they need to succeed in the sport and beyond.

VISION

Our vision for Goldrush Hockey Club is to be a leader in the development of young hockey players in California and beyond. We aim to provide a supportive, team-based environment that fosters a love of the sport and helps each child reach their full potential as a player and a person. We believe that by instilling a strong work ethic and promoting positive mentor relationships, we can help more children experience the many benefits of playing hockey.

VALUES

At Goldrush Hockey Club, our core values include:

• Progress over perfection: We believe that every child has the potential to improve, and we focus on helping them make progress rather than expecting perfection from the outset.
• Teamwork: We promote a team-based approach to hockey that emphasizes cooperation, communication, and support for one another.
• Hard work: We believe that there are no shortcuts to success, and that a strong work ethic is essential for both individual and team achievements.
• Sportsmanship: We teach our players to respect their opponents, their teammates, and the game itself, and to always play with integrity and honor.
• Dedication: We are committed to providing our players with the support they need to achieve their goals, and we encourage them to stay focused on their training and development both on and off the ice.
• Inclusivity: We strive to make hockey accessible to all children, regardless of their background, financial means, or skill level.
• Lifelong learning: We believe that the sport of hockey offers endless opportunities for growth and development, and we encourage our players to approach each game and practice with a spirit of curiosity and a willingness to learn and improve.

By adhering to these values, we believe that we can create a positive and supportive environment for our players, coaches, and families, and help more children experience the joy and excitement of playing hockey.

The Goldrush Hockey Foundation was founded in 2022 to promote and expand youth access to the sport of hockey, and to help our children learn skills on and off the ice that build a foundation for a lifetime of success. Through individual grants, targeted scholarships and sponsored programming, the foundation's primary goal is to increase local youth hockey participation and ease the financial stress that can act as a barrier to youth involvement in the sport.

Hockey not only enhances athletic skills but also fosters confidence, cooperation, health, and focus. It teaches children time management skills that aid in balancing responsibilities at home, school, and other aspects of their lives. The sport nurtures lifelong friendships, teamwork, and leadership through bonds formed in the locker room and on the ice. We enable parents to spend quality time with their children by fostering the shared youth hockey experience.
