BVHS Edge Boss Coach Clinics - 2023 - 2024 Season

Steve Parsons - Edge Boss Owner and Presenter of Edge Boss Coaches Clinics 2023

After playing 4 years of junior and 3 years of college, Steve turned pro. Steve played in the Nashville, Pittsburgh, Colorado and Boston organizations. Forced to retire in 2003 due to injury, Steve turned his attention to player development and coaching. Steve achieved High Performance 1 (Part A) from Hockey Canada in 2010 and has been delivering elite level training since. Steve has extensive experience scouting and advising at the WHL level, winning the Memorial Cup as a part of the Vancouver Giants staff in 2007.

Living in Calgary, Steve’s helping his wife raise 3 future NHL superstars, especially their two girls!

Steve’s optimal package features 16 Hurdles, with Moons and Ghosts, and EBH gear that hasn’t been been released yet - but look for them soon!

Steve’s favourite hockey training aid is the Ghost and how it allows the puck to flow through the hurdle, deflecting it just enough to create “hockey touches” and cause reactionary training that doesn’t kill a sequence.

What is Edgeboss Hockey?

What is Edge Boss Hockey? - Edge Boss Hockey is essentially, a hockey training aid manufacturer and online retailing company based out of Calgary with shipping from Olds, AB and Minnesota for our international customers.

What does it do? – The concept is that EdgeBoss equipment creates interruptions and obstacles for players skating & edge work as well as similar effect on stick & puck handling.

What is it made of? – is a High-Density Polyethylene (“HDPE”) sheet made of a proprietary compound, which provides extra durability for the elements we expect our customers to subject the equipment to.

Why is it important? – in the last 10 years private and small group training has emerged to forefront of player development. Team practices rarely allow for fundamentals drilling and most coaches do not have the ability to teach. EdgeBoss bridges those gaps by providing a platform for a kid or adult to work on things independently (if they are so motivated).. the EdgeBoss also provides teaching tools and a framework for EVERY coach to implement into their season & practice plans.

Who uses it? – I think at this point, most MHA’s, junior, college, and pro team has some sort of ‘tickle trunk’ of equipment. People use it in their backyard or garage and others build hockey training businesses around it. We’ve all worked in the hockey training biz, and although we love it doing that, helping the industry and coaches develop is also a passion for each of us. The cool thing about being a coach is that you always have a student mentality too. So continuous learning and adapting to the new players/generations is part of the responsibility each of us takes on
