Matty is a beloved team member of the 2019-2020 and first round pick for the 2020-2021 FPHL Hat Tricks team. As the 2020-2021 season was lost to COVID, he has turned his amiable character and professional player skills to mentoring the next generation of skaters. He is not only a great private coach, but he joins us with Kelly to oversee and grow our ice programs, LTS, and hockey skills camps, clinics, and LTS programs. His new role is LTS & Hockey
Development Manager.
