New coach for the Prep Team

New Coach for the Prep Team
By Mattia Laudi



National Sports Academy Hockey
Ben Tefft is the new assistant coach of the 2011-2012 prep team of the National Sports Academy in Lake Placid. He formally played for the NSA junior A team in 2003.

Having a coach that experienced what the hockey guys are living now could be a good trait for the coaching staff in terms of organization of the practices, meals and rest.

Tefft is a really young coach looking for experience and certainly this year at NSA will be a great breakthrough in his career.

After graduating from NSA, Tefft committed for Fredonia College playing Division III hockey, but after just one year he moved to the Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts, from which he graduated.

After completing his studies, Tefft started coaching high school teams and soon made up his mind to to step to the next level and train a junior A team.

As a beginner at this profession, he is trying to learn from the greatest number of people around him, he is particularly focusing on making the right decision during each game.

Coach Tefft has no particular expectations from this year except experiencing and receiving the maximum commitment from his athletes during each practice.


Currently, he is getting ready for the upcoming season with his team and is creating challenging practices in the morning to help his team as much as possible.
