Welcome to the 2025-2026 U15 Sabres Season!
I’m excited to welcome everyone to a new season of Sabres hockey! As we head into tryouts, I encourage all players to bring their energy, effort, and teamwork to the ice. We are looking for players who are eager to compete, improve their skills, and contribute to a positive team atmosphere.
My name is Laura Barfett, and I am proud to be coaching for the 2025-2026 season. This will be my second year coaching with the Sabres, and I couldn’t be more excited to continue working with this amazing group of athletes. I have many years of hockey knowledge and experience and am eager to share my passion for the game with our players. My goal is to help each athlete develop both on and off the ice while fostering a team-first mentality.
Our focus this season will be on player development, team chemistry, and playing a fast, competitive game. Practices will be high-tempo, and we’ll emphasize skill-building, strategy, and game awareness. In addition to regular-season games and many practices, we plan to participate in 4 or 5 tournaments, off-ice training and access to the Association goalie training to challenge ourselves and grow as a team.
Off the ice, we’ll foster a strong team culture, focusing on discipline, sportsmanship, and having fun. The goal is to create an environment where players can push themselves while enjoying every step of the journey.
I look forward to a competitive and rewarding season. Best of luck in evaluations — see you at the rink!
Go Sabres!
