Meet Our Learn to Play Coaches

Woman
Mark Sherman
Head Coach
I have been a member of CCSC for the previous five years. During that time I have been a volunteer for the Special Needs Hockey program and last year I was an assistant for the LTP program. I have 3 children who I have coached in many other sports including soccer, softball, baseball, and Special Olympics basketball. My kids have been participants in Special Needs hockey, LTS, and LTP at CCSC.  I look forward to another fun year of hockey.
Woman
Kaitlin Knauss
Assistant Coach
I am so excited to be back at CCSC!  I grew up playing at the Barn and am thrilled that my boys will also get to skate here. My dad grew up coaching me and my siblings for many years at CCSC and my mother was a member of the board. Now, my oldest son is in his first year of Mites, and my second son is starting Learn to Play, and our youngest is out at Family Skate!  I love what CCSC instills in children about working hard, working together and having fun. Though we may not have the fanciest rink, I do think we have one of the best reputations for creating a lifelong love of the game. I look forward to helping coach Learn to Play and bringing a love of hockey to our youngest players!
