(I Added This One) How I Got Involved: I never played hockey growing up, but always loved it and know a lot about the game, I'd argue that I know more about the game then a lot of guys who played all their lives. So, when our slumping high school team was looking for a new coaching staff, I applied for one of the coaching positions and got it! We have gone from 4 last place seasons, to finishing 4th and making the playoffs last year, and currently sitting second in the standings this year.
