                            Tell us about you and JMS: 
Started watching hockey after going to an Air Force Falcons game and then got spoiled when the Avalanche moved to town. Ended up moving to Minnesota after college.  I always wanted to play but never skated. Finally in 2009 I convinced my best friend to join me in AHA Beginner School.  We quickly heard JMS was a great place to play and improve at hockey judgement free alongside others of our same skill level. After a year or two I was approached to be a JMS Captain. I loved the idea of helping provide new skaters with the same safe encouraging atmosphere I learned to play hockey in thru JMS.  I've been a JMS Captain ever since.  Have also played in several JMS Leagues.
