Connor Jordan

Connor’s background in coaching and playing at the Tier I and Tier II levels over the past 20 years helped develop his positive and upbeat coaching philosophy where each player will be constantly pushed to reach their full potential. Team chalk talks, video review, team building and a commitment to a comprehensive coaching mindset have been Connor’s mindset since his humble beginnings.   

Originally from San Jose, in Northern California. He grew up playing hockey in the Jr Sharks organization at the Tier I and Tier II levels from 12u - 16U age levels. Upon ending his youth play, he started coaching at the grassroots level as a junior coach in 2008 at Sharks Ice; joined the San Jose Jr Sharks organization at the age of 19 and was moved to the 12u and 14u levels as an assistant and later head coach from 2011 to 2016. Connor was privileged to coach two Quebec International 12U teams. 

After completing his BA from  San Jose State University, (Sociology) in 2015 Connor moved to Boise, Idaho in 2017, and head coached the Mountain View Mavericks Varsity hockey team for a few seasons before moving to Southern California.   

Connor, “discovered and recommended” by our very own Coach Kurtz, has spent the last several years focused on developing players both on and off the ice and fostering a strong and competitive team environment.×
