Youth Hockey Coach You'd Like To Thank: Chris Affinatti because he’s a major part of my development these past few years and has helped me both on and off the ice in order to help me improve as a player and person. I’d like to thank the Chicago Mission for everything that they’ve done for me. They believed in my abilities on the ice and worked with me in order to better my development. Playing for the Mission gave me exposure and opportunities that I am very grateful for. I also am grateful for the bond that our team had throughout my two years of playing there.
