Meet Your Coaches
Jared Roth
Head Coach
Get to know me:
I first started playing street hockey with a bunch of friends in the neighborhood. We would block off a side street with two nets and play for hours.
The reason I coach is building the relationships with players and watching the kids develop and grow year after year.
Adam Torpin
Assistant Coach
Get to know me:
Watching kids develop new skills and gain confidence is incredibly rewarding. I helped many of the 8U and 10U kids learn to skate when they were younger, and seeing how far they’ve come makes me excited for what’s ahead.
Del Miller
Assistant Coach

House: Kirsti Schack
About me:
I love being involved in my kids activities and volunteering is my go to - I love getting to know the parents and the kids. My favorite hockey memory - When Austin decided to play and was SO set on it, I was terrified he wouldn’t be able to skate so I had Jared take him to learn to play and came later once I knew he was okay! Seeing him speed around on the ice (and fall A LOT) and get right back up was a memory I will never forget!
Fun Fact:
I don’t know how to ice skate! I’ve tried and I’m terrible!
