Calvin Eberts

My name is Calvin Eberts and I am excited to be the coach of the Scarborough Sharks U11BB/B team for 2024-2025. I have had a long-time involvement with the Scarborough Sharks as the son of a former executive member and brother of a former player.  As a result, I have seen first-hand the joy and friendships made through the Scarborough Sharks Association.  I have played hockey since the age of 6 (20 years) and have been a referee in the GTHL’s competitive stream (A, AA, AAA) for the past 6 years. I have been part of on-ice practices with teams in the past, and I am thrilled to be able to start my coaching career with an organization that is so familiar to me.   As a current player and referee, I have also seen how the game has progressed and changed over the years. I am committed to involving female coaching staff and instructors, and to this end, I am excited to also invite long-time Scarborough Shark, Israel Sitzer, to the bench with me.  Israel, is currently playing at the Senior level for the Sharks and has many years of experience playing at the A/AA and college/university levels.  We are both very much looking forward to helping the team develop their skills both on and off the ice.   As a referee, I believe I can also speak to the importance of on and off-ice attitude, and I plan to strongly emphasize the importance of respect in our game. My plan, along with my coaching staff, is to promote physical fitness, mental health, and a positive outlook, no matter the challenges before us, to grow and create a skilled and competitive hockey team.   I am thankful to the Scarborough Sharks Hockey organization for allowing me this opportunity and I look forward to the 2024-2025 season.×
