Coach Dave has been involved with hockey since he started playing at the age of 5. He began his first season on a recreational league team and with hard work, dedication, and excellent sportsmanship skills, he was soon promoted over the years to team Captain at the Rep/Tier 1 level. He played throughout his childhood and teen years as well as continuing to play at university. His favourite youth hockey memory is scoring the legendary game winning goal with a natural hat trick to win Provincials. He has been fortunate to have been given the opportunity to be an assistant coach, head coach, and trainer for both of his sons hockey teams over the years and continues to volunteer wherever his coaching skills are needed – either on the bench with his sons, or helping his daughter gain confidence in her mountain biking and snowboarding skills. Coach Dave is especially proud of the work ethic and determination his sons are learning from hockey and is enjoying supporting them on their journey from not being able to stand up on their skates to now skating at the AAA level and playing at the Alberta Provincial Championships and Alberta Winter Games. When not at an arena, Coach Dave can be found hiking and mountain biking with his family and rollerblading with his dog.

Elizabeth began her hockey journey as a supportive sister, cheering on her brother at his childhood hockey games. She quickly grew to love hockey and one of her most treasured possessions became a Manon Rheaume hockey jersey she received for Christmas. While not a hockey player, Elizabeth was a long distance runner and very successful Highland dancer competing at the provincial/national/and international level as well as teaching. She opened her own small studio and taught dance fitness to children ages 3 – 13. While teaching children’s fitness, she quickly realized that children in all sports can benefit from more personlized one on one training focusing on the basics of physical literacy to build a strong foundation for higher competitive sport levels and sport specific training . When Elizabeth is not cheering on her 3 children at their sporting events, she can be found hiking and mountain biking with her family, leading children’s fitness classes, and continuing her education in children and teen fitness training.
