Coach Brock Houser
"My name is Brock Houser -- I grew up playing for the Southern Tier Admirals AAA Hockey Organization. I started off playing Junior B for Welland, then made the jump to Jr A hockey in Sudbury , where I won a championship title. I also was selected to play in the 2025 All star game in the GOHL. While playing, I worked as an instructor at various different hockey schools.
