Kyle Lekun
Skills and Development Coach
Like many kids in Northern Ontario, Kyle started playing hockey at the young age of 4 years old. He grew up playing hockey in the AAA system, got drafted by Sudbury Wolves in his U16 year and then continued to play for the Sudbury Junior Wolves. After his playing career, Kyle was the assistant coach for his former high school, Lasalle Secondary School, for 2 years.
At the age of 20 years old, Kyle was approached to start officiating the game. He quickly became a linesman in the NOJHL. During his time as a linesman he worked the RBC CUP Gold Medal (JR. A). Also working the Gold Medal Game for the Telus Cup(U18). During the summer of 2018 he made the jump to referee when he was hired by the ECHL to work out of South Carolina for 2 years. Kyle continued his journey with the AHL full-time and returned to the OHL as a referee. After 10 years of officiating, Kyle is ready for his next challenge!
His officiating career has permitted him to understand the game at a whole new level. Skating alongside some of the best players in the world has taught him firsthand the importance of 3 fundamentals in hockey: shooting, passing, and skating. Kyle’s technical knowledge, on-ice experience as a professional referee and passion for the game has fully prepared him to be a great trainer for his clients. He is very excited to pass along the skills and expertise that he has learned over the years to help his clients at RHP become the players they want to be!
