About Coach Bob O'Connor
Our Coaches Resource Center is the proud home of Bob O'Connor's huge collection. O'Connor learned from the best. He ran the Suburban Hockey Schools for Herb Brooks and also the Fall Edina High School Camp for Bart Larson and Willard Ikola. These camps covered the basics of hockey including power skating, stick handling and team tactics.
His lifetime has been consumed by hockey and to fuel his knowledge of the sport, he collected everything he could find about hockey including books, magazines, videos and paintings. Not only did O'Connor's collection outgrow his basement, but he also yearned to share the material with others passionate about the sport he cares deeply about. Bob O'Connor's collections are also available at the USA Hockey National Headquarters and Providence University where O'Connor played Division 1 hockey.
