Our Coaches 🥹
It’s hard to find the words to express our gratitude for these guys. A lot of time this is a very very thankless job. All 3 of these men have very demanding high stress level jobs, which means they go from high stress at their jobs to the very demanding job of coaching.
Not only are they coaches of this great game, but they are caregivers, listeners, and diffusers and that’s just to name a few of the hats they wear daily. They all have to sacrifice sleep, family time, and personal time every single wk to make sure they are there for our kids day in and day out. No one knows the amount of effort and thought that goes into this volunteer gig. It’s much much much harder than it seems. It doesn’t end when they step off the ice at practice or leave the rink after games. It’s constant. And all 3 of these men take it all in stride and lead with patience and love. As said before, it’s a hard year. A learning year. A regrouping year. A growing year. They have kept their eye on the prize, which has been growth as hockey players and as good humans on and off the ice. Teaching them to keep working, to keep showing up, to not give up on themselves or their teammates when faced with adversity. Sometimes it’s about more than just hockey and our coaches know this. They never give up on these kids and that’s the most important thing you can ask for in a coach.
So please join me in saying a HUGE thank you to our coaches….Coach Josh, Coach Erik, & Coach Bruce! We appreciate you!
(I only have a photo of Josh and Bruce, Erik I’m sorry! I will get a photo of all three soon. Or if anyone has one please share) 💛💙
