I am a certified k-6th grade teacher and have been teaching classes for over 16 years.  I have my level II certification from the state of PA. I have taught social clubs about many different topics in my brick and mortar schools. As far as my knowledge of hockey I have grown up in a big hockey family.  My brother played hockey and while growing up I spent most of my weekends at the rink watching.  I am a mom to an 8 year old hockey and have been the team manager for 3 years.  I have been apart of many hockey discussions at the rink, with coaches, with other manager and hockey directors. In addition we are a billet family, which means each year we have hockey players live with us so that they have an opportunity to play for a local team.  We are very involved in the the team that our billet son is on as well. My husband is a level 1 youth hockey coach and he also plays.  We are at the rink at least 5 out of 7 days of the week, if not more. Hockey is a huge part of our life!
