I am honored to share my recent appointment as a coach of the USA Men’s Hockey Team at The 2025 Maccabiah Games in Israel this summer! 42 high school-aged Jewish hockey players from all over the United States have been selected to compete against countries from all over the globe. 90% of them have never been to to Israel.

With my extensive hockey coaching experience and deep connection to Israel, this is the most thoughtful and powerful way I can guide young Jewish athletes through the ultimate Israel experience... while competing for the Red, White, and Blue and representing our local hockey communities. The Games are the world’s largest Jewish athletic competition, with over 10,000 athletes competing in 40+ different sports.

This is a full volunteer position, with a 3+ week commitment away from my wife and 3 young daughters. All funds will go towards fulfilling my financial obligations to participate in the games and at home while I am away.

Please consider sharing or supporting today as you see fit.

Thank you in advance for your consideration. Am Yisrael Chai!
