Perks was the best coach i have ever had throughout my entire hockey career. He cares so much about all his players and his coaching staff, and dedicates all his time to the team. He has so much hockey knowledge and was able to teach me so much on the ice, and is always there for his players no matter what.

Perks, gave me a chance to play college hockey, even tho my time was short he helped me become a better player and person on and off the ice. He motivated me and was extremely honest with me of what I need to improve on the ice, he never hesitated to be there for a player no matter what they might need. 10/10 coach would do it all over again

Poor Communication

This guy is a used car salesman who encourages his players to bully their teammates. Do not trust a word that comes out of his mouth, he will tell you anything you want to hear to get a commitment to the school. The school is in serious financial trouble to the point where their accreditation is under review for lack of finances. Of course he wants warm bodies to commit. He bends the rules and talks smack about players to other player’s ,this breaks one or more NCAA anti bullying polices. He says he has an open door policy yet never addresses concerns or respond to players concerns. He encourages a toxic culture on the team. Thinks he is “coach of the year” yet plays the weakest teams and still has difficulty winning games. His players do not trust him. He shares personal/ confidential information and emails from players WITH the other players, yet will not address the concerns with the person who approached him. Complete lack of professionalism and intelligence. Many players had to leave campus to address mental health issues that were caused my this man and his chosen “hit women” who get the green light from him to mistreat their teammates. He appointed the worst offender captain for the upcoming season.- this is confirmed by a former assistant coach. Stay very far away from this smoozer of a coach and this toxic group of girls who cannot stand each other because it is encouraged from the coach. It appears as if he enjoys this! It’s sick. Who knows? The college will probably lose the accreditation within the next year or two due to financial issues. If you are thinking of having your daughter play for this man or this school, I encourage you to rethink the choice and run not walk to a different school. Parents of current players have questioned his credibility and poor choices. There is talk of filing formal NCAA complaint against him.
