Head Coach - Braden Zehner

Welcome to Trinity Hockey

I am honored and excited to be the Head Coach at Trinity High School! As the Head Coach I am dedicated to building the top high school hockey program in the region, as well as making Trinity Hockey a valuable part of the youth hockey community in Louisville. 

The Purpose of Trinity Hockey

I am committed to building Trinity Hockey into an annual contender for the Kentucky High School Hockey League state championship. Our team will be built each year on hard work and mental toughness. I believe that through hockey, we can help build young men of faith and character, while competing at a high level. 

About Coach Zehner

I grew up near Madison, WI where I was lucky to grow up around a lot of great hockey coaches. I was fortunate enough to play at the AAA, Junior A, & NCAA DIII levels throughout my career. I've been involved in coaching & skill development since I was 16 & have always enjoyed helping kids reach their potential! I was blessed to have great coaches growing up, & now it is my turn to do the same youth hockey players in the Louisville area.
