The New Evolution of Athletic Training
True Athletic talent can no longer be measured by how great your young athlete performs in their small piece of the world, but how they stack up in the global community. Those who remain within the naivety of their own arenas will likely live a short existence and never realize the secrets to true player development. This new philosophy can be clearly defined by the following statement.
“Athletes who Train with the Best will develop to be their Best”

Ken Belanger - Hockey Development Coach
10 Years NHL Experience / 16 Years Teaching on ice programs
Left-winger Ken Belanger entered the 2001-02 season as a physical component on the improved Los Angeles Kings. The 6'4" grinder played with three teams before heading to the Golden state and was an imposing force wherever he played.
Born in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario Belanger played with the local Legion team in the NOHA before heading to the OHL. He split his major junior career between the Ottawa 67's and Guelph Storm where he demonstrated an ability to go to the net as well as play rough. In 1992, the burly forward was chosen 153rd overall by the Hartford Whalers at the NHL Entry Draft. He never played for the club and was traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs in March 1994.
Belanger played three games for Toronto in 1994-95 then was dispatched to St. John's of the AHL the next season. He was traded to the New York Islanders in January 1996 and was an effective enforcer for the young squad. In November 1998 he was sent to the Boston Bruins for forward Ted Donato. He received more ice time under hard-nosed coaches Pat Burns and Mike Keenan but was not resigned by the Bruins after the 2000-01 season. Belanger was inked to deal by the Kings to help give their skilled players more room in 2001-02.
In the fall of 2005 Belanger returned to the Kings line-up and saw action in five games before informing the club of his intentions to retire. Belanger officially announced his retirement on November 14, 2005.
