Partnership continues focus on player development, coaching education, and building a positive youth hockey culture!
COLUMBUS, OHIO — October 2026 — The Columbus Cannons is excited to announce the renewal of its partnership with The Hockey Think Tank for the 2026–27 hockey season. This continued collaboration reinforces Cannon's commitment to providing a positive, development-focused hockey experience for players, coaches, and families.
Through this partnership, Cannons will start implementing The Hockey Think Tank's Youth Organization Blueprint, a comprehensive approach designed to help youth hockey associations strengthen their programs, improve organizational effectiveness, and foster a culture of growth and development.
The Blueprint provides a broad range of educational resources, practical tools, and organizational guidance to help clubs establish clear direction and purpose. Whether success is measured through on-ice performance, player development, player retention, or the satisfaction of families and coaches, the program offers a framework for meaningful and sustainable improvement.
The Cannon's Board of Directors remains committed to continually improving the hockey experience for its players and families. With this partnership, the association looks forward to building on the progress already made while expanding access to valuable educational resources, strengthening its programs, and supporting a positive hockey culture throughout the organization.
As part of the partnership, players, parents, and coaches will have access to The Hockey Think Tank's online educational portal, which offers resources and insights focused on player development, coaching strategies, positive team culture, and navigating the youth hockey experience.
The partnership reflects a shared belief that successful youth hockey organizations are built not only on developing skilled players, but also on supporting coaches, engaging families, and creating an environment where young athletes can thrive both on and off the ice.
