Pat has lived in the KV area for almost 20yrs. He's been married for 17 years, and is extremely busy raising 3 very active children; 2 of which are in the Express Program.
Pat has been working at Chandler (JDI) for the last 7 years and has been involved in Express Hockey for the last 6 years and strives to see improvement in all kids.
On the ice is where you can see that Pat has the passion for the sport. Pat has played at many levels and with a knack for putting the puck in the net, has won several awards and titles along the way. Since having his own kids he now focuses his efforts in fuelling the flame in kids that love the sport. He wants nothing more than to help teach these kids that hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard!
Pat believes Express hockey is second to none, focusing on hard work, while instilling the love of the game. All of the coaches are a family and came together because of the same desire and beliefs to help develop, and reinforce positive strides in the game for each individual.
A quote Pat would like to share that hits home for many is:
"Hockey. A sport where teammates are more than teammates, friends are more than friends. Brothers. Sisters. A community. It gives us the opportunity to turn a frozen pond into memories. A road tournament into a family get away. It's a tradition. It's a past time. It is our life."~Unknown
