REP Hockey (Tecumseh-Shoreline Eagles)

Christian Steingraber

Coaching Experience: 5 Year
Playing Experience: 20 Years

Coaching Background:
Coach Christian’s journey in hockey has spanned decades—from elite-level AAA teams to our grassroots Eagles community. He previously served as Assistant Coach for the Windsor Midget Major AAA team (2014-2016), helping lead them to a Silver Stick Tournament championship and first-place regular season finish. Many of those players advanced to junior, college, and pro levels—a testament to his strong player development focus.

 

At TSMHA, he’s coached at multiple levels since 2022, including U9 HL, U8/U9, U7 HL, and U5 HL. In 2024-25, he steps in as Head Coach for the U8 MD team with the same drive, mentorship, and love for the game.

Coaching Philosophy:
“My goal is to develop confident, resilient young players who love coming to the rink. We emphasize skill development—skating, shooting, puck control—while learning to compete with integrity, respect, and teamwork. I want kids to take risks, learn from mistakes, and grow as people as much as players.”

Development & Team Culture:
The U8 MD program under Christian focuses on individual growth within a team-first culture. Every player gets the tools and support they need to succeed at their level, while also having fun and building lasting friendships. Christian leans on his own Junior and College-level experience to bring elite insight into practices, game strategy, and team dynamics.

Why TSMHA?
“Tecumseh feels like home. It’s a tight-knit, family-focused community where kids grow up surrounded by support and mentorship. I’ve seen firsthand how this association develops great players—and even better people.”

Commitment & Expectations:
Players are expected to give their best, show respect, and embrace a growth mindset. Families are encouraged to be part of the journey with positivity and shared goals.
