Red Devils coaches

HEAD COACH

Anatoly Khorozov - professional Ice Hockey Coach over past 15 years in various coaching roles around the world.

I have a proven track record of playing/coaching in various European Leagues. Gaining invaluable knowledge and experience of professional coaches, I have taken the best parts of their systems and developed my own concept of the game. The technique of play developed integrates a physical game together with quick turn-overs to offensive play with cycling in the offensive zone.

With the teams that I have coached, they have progressed significantly under my influence.

ASSISTANT COACH

Vince Mitalas - I played in competitive leagues in Canada starting in 1986. I played a season in the Australian Ice Hockey League in 2004 before joining the Red Devils in 2005.

This will be my 4th year with the Red Devils and my 6th year in the NZIHL. I've helped select and organize a number of our import players since the 2009 championship season and continue to work behind the scenes to ensure our success on the ice.

I've coached minor hockey in various capacities in NZ and overseas and look forward to the opportunity to be a player coach with the 2012 team. Although goaltending is my specialty, I have a keen interest in defensive systems and will be assisting Anatoly using my perspective on north american styles of play.
