Meet Your Shooting Coach: Ian Smith

I’m Ian Smith, and I’m excited to share a bit about my hockey journey. I started playing hockey at six years old and went on to captain Middlebury College’s back-to-back Division III national championship teams, earning National Player of the Year in 1996. After college, I played professionally in Germany, the ECHL with the Calgary Flames affiliate, and briefly in the IHL before transitioning to a teaching and coaching career. I’ve spent over 13 years as a high school physics teacher and varsity hockey coach, developing both my teaching expertise and coaching skills. I’m a USA Hockey Level IV coach with a passion for helping players of all levels, from beginners to advanced athletes, develop practical, game-ready skills. In 2010, I founded Kellian Hockey, which offers skill development programs for players ranging from adults to college-bound youth athletes. My greatest joy is helping players grow their skills quickly so they can love the game even more. I’m looking forward to sharing my experience and helping players take their game to the next level!
