Coaches

Coach Todd is entering his tenth season coaching with Parma. He has also served as the Mite ADM Director and formerly a Parma Hockey board member. He grew up playing youth hockey in the Cleveland area, playing for the Parma Flyers and Padua Franciscan High School. Todd went on to play at the University of Dayton where he also served as a team captain.  

Todd lives in Valley View with his wife, Sara. They have four children, two girls and two boys. Both girls are highly accomplished figure skaters, and the boys have played mini mites thru 14U at Parma. Coach Todd started his coaching career in 2005 as an assistant for Padua High School after college and then started coaching youth sports over fifteen years ago. Coach Todd has coached many youth sports ranging from soccer, football, basketball, and more for various age levels. He is a USA hockey Level 4 certified coach and also an ice hockey referee.  

After many seasons and championships, Coach Todd finds the greatest reward in watching young players grow as they develop their skills, confidence, and character, qualities that lead to success both on the ice and in life.

My name is Mike Coyne, and I am the Bantam 2 Head Coach. I grew up playing for Parma Hockey and developed my love for the game here. When my kids were old enough to start skating, I naturally brought them back to the place where I had spent so many weekends.

I’ve had the privilege of coaching both my son and daughter throughout their hockey careers at Parma, from Mites all the way to Bantam. Since joining the coaching staff in 2017, I’ve worked with players across all levels, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to be part of such a passionate and supportive community.

It’s an honor to work with so many amazing kids and families, and I’m proud to help continue the tradition of Parma Hockey.

Jason has coached for over 25 years as both a parent and non-parent coach in the Cleveland area. He coached the 2001 birthyear from Mites to Midgets, earning a trip to Tier 2 Nationals their Bantam Major year, and winning a National Championship their Midget Major year.

Jason has 2 sons, Brennan and Camden. Brennan is entering his final year at Milwaukee School of Engineering (NCAA-Div. 3). Brennan played in the Cleveland area from Mites to High School, graduating from Holy Name in 2020. Camden is entering his final year of Mites at Parma.

If a child can skate, they most likely learned from Ken. Coach Ledford is a member of our Hall of Fame and has been coaching Mini Mites longer than any of our other coaches have been in Parma.
