My name is Kent Hanna and I have been a part of Performance Edge for the past few seasons. My playing career allowed me to participate in the 2013 Ottawa 67’s & OHL Under-15 Program of Excellence Camp, as well as other junior hockey opportunities. I have been able to stay involved with high-performance hockey through the SaskFirst Officiating Program, Alberta Officiating Development Program, high-performance tournaments, and as a linesman in the Alberta Junior Hockey League.

Brent grew up on a farm in Midwest Saskatchewan 30 min North East of Lloydminster. Played minor hockey through to Midget AA. After Junior B and few years of Senior A. he started coaching hockey minor hockey in 2011 and most recent the assistant coach of U15AA Taber Golden Suns. The greatest thrill as a coach is seeing the progress of each athlete in their development as a player, teammate, and a person.
