Gavin Broadhead

Assistant Coach

Gavin grew up in Hay River, Northwest Territories, spending most of his time on outdoor rinks and dreaming of playing hockey in the NHL. His hockey career was cut short due to repeated concussions during his time as a forward for the Medicine Hat Tigers. Despite contact sports being off the table at just 18 years old, Gavin continued his athletic pursuits in Olympic lifting, sprinting, cycling, and long track speed skating. He spent two years sprinting for the University of Lethbridge while completing his B.A. in Kinesiology. After obtaining his degree, he was selected by Speed Skating Canada to join an elite-level program, training under a four-time Olympian, Coach Michael Ireland. Some of Gavin’s biggest interests are exercise physiology, sport nutrition, and sport psychology. He remains a competitive cyclist while working as the Male U18 Prep Assistant Coach and the strength coach for SAHA and the Medicine Hat Tigers of the WHL.
