Our Mission

The Bandits Ice Hockey Association’s mission is to provide a positive, character building, sports experience for youth; while creating a passion and respect for the great game of ice hockey.

Bandits Hockey believes the development of every individual; with an emphasis on education, personal growth and skill development, teamwork, and sportsmanship; will result in team depth, diversity, respect and cohesion. Ultimately providing a level of confidence that brings success not only in the environment of competitive ice hockey; but builds a foundation for success in future adult and business life as well.

The conduct of our coaching staff, players, and parents will be maintained and held to high standards in order to ensure a positive culture and environment to honor and respect the sport and players, and exemplify an organization in which to be proud of.

U10 AA Head Coach – Paul Gaustad

Paul is a Level 4 certified USA Hockey coach and is the newest member of the Bandit Hockey Association coaching staff for the 2025/26 season. Originally from Portland, Oregon, Paul played in the WHL and in 2000 was drafted to the NHL, where he spent 10 seasons with the Buffalo Sabres, and then finished out his career with the Nashville Predators, retiring from the NHL in 2016. Post retirement, Paul spent several years coaching U16 and U18 travel and junior hockey in the Portland area.

Paul’s many years of hockey at every level, from youth to professional hockey, both as player and coach, have shaped his game both physically and mentally. His hockey and coaching philosophy is in alignment with The Bandit Hockey Association – to provide a positive, character-building, sports experience for area youth while creating a passion and respect for the great game of ice hockey. Paul’s coaching style exhibits the Bandit Mission Statement – to develop players, with an emphasis on education, personal growth and skill development, teamwork, and sportsmanship.
