Embarking on a Coaching Journey

If there's one thing I've always been passionate about, it's giving back to the community. I particularly like helping children. With the many problems kids are facing today such as drugs, violence, and domestic/sexual abuse just to name a few, I think it's really important to give kids a reason to do well not only in school and on the ice, but in society as well. I find it critically important to reach out to our youth and demonstrate the importance of self-discipline, giving, and citizenship, especially in these kinds of times. Since starting pharmacy school I haven't been doing nearly as much community service as I should be but I think I've found the perfect way.

Starting later this season, I will hopefully be starting to help out with one of the local youth hockey teams. Being relatively new to hockey myself, this is definitely going to be a learning experience for me as well. I'm hoping that I can be that younger guy that the kids can look up to and provide them with more than just hockey knowledge. Thankfully, I won't be coming up with the practices, but helping out the head coaches in doing drills and what not. Not sure what team I'm going to be working with, but I'm definitely looking forward to the experience.



When I know more, you'll know more.
