Maddy started hockey “late” (u10) and played at Newton South. Made a club team (NE Pride u19) my freshman year of college. Went to Merrimack College and helped start and played club hockey there. Started coaching at the NE Pride (now crimson pride) in 2016-17; my senior year of college. I have experience coaching all age levels, U10-16. My main goal of coaching younger kids is to create a positive, but competitive environment where hockey “clicks”.
