Dave Joyce

Dave learned the game of hockey growing up in Massachusetts. He not only playing organized youth hockey from age 8, but also spending countless hours playing "bog" hockey on the frozen cranberry bog a short walk through the woods. Dave is in his second year coaching at Simons and has two sons in the program. He joined the Simons volunteer staff when he met coach Rock (John Gallagher) and saw the passion and enthusiasm John brings to the program. "The absolute best times of my youth were spent playing ice hockey, and I want to give all these kids the opportunity to play, to learn, and to love this game." Dave also plays adult league hockey and suffers under the delusion that he can still play like he is sixteen years old.
