Its with a heavy heart we learned about Coach Pete Gianatiempo, who ran our Junior Rangers program from 2018 through 2022.

Sticks out Coach, and you will always be with us.

The Danbury Hat Tricks organization is deeply saddened by the passing of Pete Gianatiempo.

Pete was a pillar of the Danbury hockey community, coaching in our Girls Hat Tricks program, helping establish the Danbury Bravehearts Adaptive Hockey Program, working with USA Sled Hockey, and serving as a lead instructor for the New York Rangers Learn to Play program.

Beyond the rink, Pete was a retired NYPD Detective, a 9/11 first responder, and worked in Humane Law Enforcement with the SPCA of Westchester.

“Pete exemplified the true meaning that hockey is for everyone. The impact he made through the programs he led and the lives he touched will never be forgotten.” — Danbury Ice Arena GM Nick Garofalo

Our thoughts are with Pete’s family, friends, players, and all whose lives he touched through the game he loved 🧡🖤
