Our hockey community is shining a little less bright these days as we mourn the loss of an incredible human and one impeccable coach - Roy Muncaster.
Roy Muncaster was a huge asset to our hockey community and honestly represented everything that is good about youth hockey- he was nice, he was positive, he tried to really teach the kids, he made sure they had fun, he thoroughly enjoyed being around the rink, the players and the families.
His selflessness and dedication not only to Cedar Park but SPHL in its entirety was like no other. There have been instances where a childâs family was unable to afford the registration fee and Roy himself would go above and beyond and pay so that child did not miss out.
I remember when my son first joined hockey in 2nd year Tyke, I was a single mom with a boy who had his heart set on playing hockey but sadly funds were tight. We reached out to Roy and we were told not to worry about it and he got to play that year, no questions asked and was welcomed with open arms. My son has continued to play hockey and his passion for the sport continues to grow with each season. Without Royâs kindness and his big heart none of that would have been possible.
He has touched the lives of every one whoâs met him in some way, shape or form and he will be deeply missed.
