How do people describe you?

Being able to give back and see the kids develop on and off the ice.

My Love for the game, I love coming to rink on my off days to pick up tips from other coaches and check in on kids I use to coach.

My approach to coaching is to create a family like environment on my teams. One that makes the kids want to come to the rink and work hard and get better.
Anything else you'd like to tell people about yourself?
I am thrilled and excited to be apart of the new association and to grow the game in the city I grew up in. I cant wait to get started and to get back to the rink and meet all the
new kids and create a year to remember.
