Hey there, I am Dante,

My interest in playing hockey grew when my brother had his 8th birthday at Chandler Polar Ice. I was 4 at the time and we had a great time! I noticed kids my age playing on the other rink and that’s what hooked me.

My mom and dad are from Detroit and are huge hockey fans and are always watching the Red Wings on TV. My mom grew up with two brothers that played hockey and my grandpa was their coach. My dad grew up playing pond hockey with his buds and always wanted to play the game on a competitive level. He started shortly after I did with some of the other dads that had kids on my team. I really enjoy the game and all the great friends I’ve met.

Check my video out… You will see that even though I scored the goal it was my TEAM that won the game!

Here’s how you can help….

1) Chip in any amount by clicking the ‘ChipIn’ tool, or;

2) Buy or sponsor a seat at our “Holdem Poker Night” on Nov. 13th. (I want to play, but I’m not sure 9-year olds are allowed at the table).

Thank you in advance for supporting me and our team!
