Over the course of the years, our program has grown to a competitive level and although we are proud to have reached that level of competition, we have not turned our back on the developmental side of our program which enables us to help new players and create an internal feeder system for our more competitive levels. Our “Rookies” of today are our skilled players of tomorrow.

Paula is the heart and soul of the Mighty Moose and she nurtures and encourages every single player herself, ensuring they are given the best possible opportunities to develop as hockey players and people.

As my oldest daughter (of three) grew more and more interested in the sport I’ve found my love of the game expanding from player/spectator to player/coach. As a coach, I have enjoyed watching the players develop both on the ice and off, establishing friendships, sharing in the experiences of major milestones, and building the skills, confidence, and mindsets that will help them become successful adults.

As life unfolded, school, career, and various responsibilities took center stage, prompting Brian to step away from the game he loved. Fast forward two decades, and a new chapter begins when his young daughter, Riley, expresses interest in playing ice hockey. This spark reignites Brian’s passion for the sport, drawing him back onto the ice. Little did he know that this return would lead him into the dynamic realm of coaching girls’ hockey.

Brian’s coaching journey has been shaped by his daughter’s progression through the years. A dedicated mentor, he has lent his expertise to teams like the Delco Dragons, Delco Phantoms, Little Flyers, JR Flyers, and their new hockey family, the Mighty Moose.

Despite the passage of time, Brian remains an active player, striving to hit the ice regularly. His enthusiasm is palpable as he channels his energy into developing young

players, sharing the wealth of knowledge he has amassed over the years about the sport that holds a special place in his heart. For Brian, coaching is not just a role; it’s a heartfelt commitment to nurturing the next generation of hockey enthusiasts and passing on the love for the game.

Coach Brian holds a USA Hockey Level 4 Certification.
