He also has international coaching experience, having been part of the staff with Team USA at the World Ringette Championships in 2014.

In addition to his experience behind the bench, Chris is a certified Learning Facilitator and Coach Evaluator for Ringette Canada, and a former Director of Sport Development with the International Ringette Federation.
