Aaryan Pawar

Assistant Coach — P52 Ice Hockey Club

Aaryan Pawar is an active competitive player who brings a unique edge to his coaching — the perspective of someone still in the thick of the game. A defender by position, he has represented Maharashtra in 2 IHAI National Championships, 2 Khelo India Winter Games, and has a silver medal from the State Championship to his name. He has been part of P52 Ice Hockey Club since day one, coaching beginner and intermediate players with a sharp focus on skating technique.

What sets Aaryan apart is his approach — he doesn't see coaching and playing as separate pursuits. Being on the ice as a player gives him a live, evolving understanding of technique, and he channels that directly into how he develops his juniors. He grows with them as much as they grow with him.

"I'm not just coaching the game, I'm learning it alongside you."
