Coach Netenhayu brings a different background and a tough, resilient perspective to Southside Hockey. Raised in Parkway Gardens, he learned early how important it is to be strong, disciplined, and able to stand up for yourself. Those experiences helped shape the mentality he now brings to coaching: toughness, accountability, and the belief that growth starts with both mindset and effort.

Although he did not play traditional ice hockey, Coach Netenhayu built his athletic career in roller hockey, where he competed professionally in Canada. That experience gave him a deep understanding of skill development, competitiveness, quick decision-making, and the mental side of the game. His path may be different from others, but it gives him a unique way of teaching players how to move, compete, and think under pressure.

Now back in his hometown, Coach Netenhayu is focused on giving back to the next generation. At Southside Hockey, he works to help young players grow with their hands, their skill, and their mentality. His goal is to teach athletes how to stay sharp, stay confident, and carry themselves with strength both on and off the rink.
