Welcome to the Home of the U11 Mariposa Lightning Rep B Team – 2025/2026 Season
Led by Head Coach Kevin Walden

We’re excited to welcome families and players to what promises to be an incredible season with the U11 Rep B Mariposa Lightning! At the helm is Head Coach Kevin Walden, a dedicated and passionate leader who has been part of the Mariposa Minor Hockey Association since 2005.

Kevin’s coaching journey has spanned every age group from U5 to U18, and his resume includes leading multiple teams to OMHA Finalist and Championship finishes. A proud Alumni of Mariposa Lightning himself, Kevin was part of the undefeated U18 team in 2005, bringing both legacy and experience to this bench.

For the 2025/2026 season, Kevin is excited to not only focus on player development, but also bring a strong emphasis to goalie development – an often overlooked but crucial aspect of the game.

Joining the coaching staff this season is Neutral Assistant & Goalie Coach Spencer Green, a former GTHL goaltender whose playing career continued through Junior hockey with the North Kawartha Knights. Since retiring from competitive play, Spencer has focused on training and mentoring young goaltenders across the GTHL and Peterborough region, helping shape the next generation of elite netminders. We are very excited to have a dedicated goalie coach on our bench this season.

As a coach, Kevin is focused on creating a fun, challenging, and team-first atmosphere where players and goalies can grow, compete, and love the game.

Let’s build character, skill, and a love for the game – the Lightning way.×
