🚨INTRODUCING the NCDC & USPHL Carolina Jr Canes’ new Assistant Coach, Marc Genest!!

From Coach Genest:
“I was born and raised in Canada, where hockey isn’t just a sport—it’s a way of life. Growing up in that environment shaped everything about how I approach the game: discipline, competitiveness, accountability, and respect for the process. Those values stayed with me throughout my playing career and continue to guide how I coach and mentor players today in the United States.”

Junior Hockey:
This was the turning point that brought my career south and gave me firsthand experience navigating both the Canadian and American hockey systems.

– Canadian Junior Hockey – Kanata Lazers
– Full athletic scholarship – University of Illinois–Chicago

Professional Career (1992-2003):
Over 450 professional games played as a dependable two-way center known for hockey IQ and consistency.

Teams include:
– EA Kempten
– South Carolina Stingrays
– Raleigh IceCaps
– Macon Whoopee
– Idaho Steelheads
– Cape Fear Fire Antz

Plus, five seasons of professional roller hockey played between the Ottawa Loggers, South Carolina Fire Ants, and the San Jose Rhinos

Coaching/ Mentor (2010-current):
Since 2010, I’ve coached, advised, and consulted with over 100 players—both male and female—helping them progress to the next level by understanding what it truly takes to move ahead in today’s hockey landscape.

– I don’t believe in shortcuts.
– I believe in preparation.
– I believe in accountability.
– I believe in habits that translate.

My approach blends the strong fundamentals and work ethic rooted in Canadian hockey with the opportunities and pathways available in the U.S. I don’t believe in shortcuts. I believe in preparation, honesty, and helping players develop the habits, mindset, and hockey sense needed for long-term success—on and off the ice.

My goal is simple: to help aspiring hockey players carve their own path using real experience, clear guidance, and a genuine love for the game.
