NEW FACES AT KCFS

Director of Hockey

First, please welcome Jeff Madill. Jeff has accepted the position of Director of Hockey for the Saints organization.

Utilizing innovative training strategies he led the 2005/2006 Saints Mite team to a city championship, the 2015/2016 Bantam AA team to a state championship and multi-season teams to USA Hockey Tier I and II National Championships during his coaching career. Prior to coaching, Jeff spent several years playing hockey at the Division I, Junior, AHL, IHL and NHL levels. His extensive experience as both player and coach have prepared him to serve as a knowledgeable resource for Saints coaches as they optimize skill development for players at every level. Please welcome Jeff back to the Saints organization!
