Starting when he was a Bantam, Chris worked as an instructor at hockey clinics and summer camps, teaching and coaching players of all experience and ability levels from 6U to 16U. After his last 18U season, Chris stepped away from playing but continued to coach for a season before moving out of the Philadelphia area. Chris and his family returned to the Philadelphia area in 2013 and his love for playing hockey was quickly reignited as he joined men’s league teams with old hockey friends. His renewed love for teaching and coaching soon followed as his children learned to skate. In 2022, his oldest son joined the Atoms program. Chris volunteered to help instruct the Atoms during practices and coach during games.
