Biography

Greg Gatto, an Alberta native, takes his lifelong passion for the game of hockey and embarks on a new hockey journey helping young athletes reach their full potential hockey and education goals.

Gatto began his playing career in 1988 with the Olds Grizzlys of the AJHL. In 1990 he joined the Western Hockey League (WHL) for two years, following his junior career he attended the University of Lethbridge in Alberta from 1993-1996, winning a National Championship in 1994 and graduating with a Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Education degree. Gatto played in England from 1997-2000 before coming stateside to play minor pro for the Colorado Gold Kings, the San Antonio Iguanas, and Odessa Jackalopes.

In 2003-04, Gatto was a full-time assistant coach for the Odessa Jackalopes. The following year, Gatto was offered the Head Coaching job in Austin with the Ice Bats. Gatto then returned to his native Lethbridge, Alberta to coach the University of Lethbridge Pronghorns hockey team. After nine seasons he moved back to Odessa to coach the Odessa Jackalopes of the now junior hockey NAHL. His last coaching position was with the Hampton Roads Whalers of the USPHL. Over the last 19 years coaching Gatto has established many great networking connections throughout hockey in North America and Europe.

Coach Gatto is married to his wife Molly and have 2 sons Taylor (24) and Griffin (14).

Advising & Representation

We partner with parents, coaches, and players to provide strategic consultation and negotiation for the career advancement of young prospects.

Greg Gatto is the advisor for our sons (2003 forward and 2004 goalie) and was able to get our oldest drafted to a junior team. Additionally, Greg has been successful in getting our boys into junior hockey camps for tryouts and provides ongoing support and advise. We highly recommend Greg’s services. He is exceptional at what he does and knows the North American hockey worldlike the back of his hand, which is always helpful when you are trying to get young hockey players to the next level. Additionally, as a former coach, Greg understands players and team needs and how to find the best fit.

Hockey is a sport with a large pool of players. To differentiate your player from the sea of talent out there while finding the right situations to put your child into, in most cases requires help. This help is what an good advisor can bring. Choosing the right advisor can be challenging, you need the right fit for your player and family but even more importantly you need a certain type of person working on your behalf that is more interested in helping your athlete than he is his own career. Greg Gatto has been that guy for us. He has helped guide my family through the mountains of potential showcases available to everyone while advising us on the right avenues to spend our resources and our energy. He also has opened doors that we didn’t even know how to knock on. My family would not only recommend you get an advisor at a minimum at the minor or major midget age if you expect to play junior or any college level, but would also highly recommend you partner with Greg or someone just like him.
