Wheeling resident is youth hockey Coach of Month
Wheeling resident Randy Jordan has been named “Coach Of The Month” by the Chicago Wolves Hockey organization and Galaxie Home Remodeling.
Jordan coaches the Hoffman Estates Wolfpack youth hockey team that trains at the Triphahn Center Ice Arena in Hoffman Estates. He serves as assistant manager of rink operations and hockey director.
According to Jordan, “As coaches, we strive to teach kids all aspects of the game and help them understand that what they learn as hockey players, such as sportsmanship, discipline and respect, will benefit them now and as adults. My focus is to give as many kids as possible the chance to learn and play the sport of hockey and love it as much as I do.”
Jordan also “coaches the coaches” and runs the “Sumo Skills Sessions,” a training program he designed.
Chicago Wolves president of business operations Mike Gordon added, “The Chicago Wolves organization is excited to partner with Galaxie Home Remodeling on the Youth Hockey Player and Coach Of The Month awards.
“It is a pleasure to recognize the passionate, dedicated coaches and energetic players who continue to develop the sport of hockey in Chicagoland. As a local company that contributes to the youth sports community, Galaxie is the perfect partner to share in presenting awards to young people that highlight teamwork, leadership and excellence. We look forward to continuing to celebrate the best in youth hockey with Galaxie.”
Galaxie Home Remodeling has a long history of sponsoring youth organizations and charitable causes. Company president Bruce Pinsler is a believer in organized youth sports and his own children participate in several sports, including hockey.
“By participating in organized youth sports and related activities, kids learn valuable lessons that will help them later in life. They grow physically, mentally and emotionally. All of us at Galaxie want to do our part in helping young people become better adults,” said Pinsler.
Jordan stated he was “surprised and honored to receive this award. The Wolves are a first-class organization and our hockey club is thrilled to be associated with them. The Wolves’ players are great role models for our kids.”
