CARA OWEN
Say hello to the crew behind the whistles and clipboards! Our coaches have all sorts of hockey stories—some grew up living at the rink, others battled it out at competitive levels—but what really unites them is their love for the game (and maybe the smell of fresh ice). They’re passionate about passing on their skills, cheering players on, and making every skate a blast. For them, coaching isn’t just about running drills—it’s about sparking laughs, building confidence, and creating those “aha!” moments that make hockey so much fun.
