Dave is alumni of Hudson Catholic graduating in 1988. As a player, he was a member of two Hudson Catholic Handchen Cup championship teams in the the late 1980's. Increased work demands have made it difficult for Dave to coach, since many hockey practices and games are after school. He feels if he can't give it 100%, he shouldn't coach. Hudson Catholic is very appreciative of all of the dedication Dave has given to the program, both as player and coach. |
