Why Choose Lafond Performance

Proven Track Record
Lafond Performance is built on over a decade of experience coaching and mentoring players in elite hockey environments, with a proven track record of helping athletes progress to the highest levels of the game.

Elite Player Pathways
Over the years, Anthony Lafond has coached players who have gone on to commit to NCAA Division I programs, be selected in the first round of the QMJHL (LHJMQ) Draft, and advance into top prep schools and junior leagues. Most recently, his U15 Tier 1 team ranked sixth nationally in the United States — competing with, and defeating, some of the most recognized programs in elite youth hockey.

Connected to the Next Level
In addition to on-ice coaching, Anthony continues to work closely with OHL and CHL organizations and maintains active relationships with university and prep school programs. This ongoing exposure provides a clear understanding of what coaches at the next level look for — both on and off the ice — and allows Lafond Performance to prepare players for real expectations, not assumptions.

Modern Mentorship Approach
What truly sets Lafond Performance apart is a modern, mentorship-driven approach built on trust, accountability, and long-term relationships. Anthony works closely with players and families, stays connected with his athletes over time, and focuses on helping players develop confidence, composure, and Hockey IQ that translates to higher levels of competition.
