Kevin joined our program entering his 15th year in Coaching. Kevin started his love of hockey playing as a youth in Skokie, IL.
Kevin's list of Coaching accomplishments is long, most recently serving as Head Coach with the Chicago Blues organization. His High School Coaching experience includes a very successful season with Fenwick High Scool in 2005-2006.
Kevin's thoughts on the Club:
"We are definitely going in the right direction now. We have a group of committed players who are going to continue to improve, both individually and as a team, as the season progresses. By the time State Playoffs begin, I think we are going to surprise a few teams. And, looking ahead to growth, when future players see what we are teaching and accomplishing, they are also going to want to be a part of our program".
