Los Angeles Junior AAA National Champions 1982-1983
Back1982 was a great year for Marina Cities hockey. The Junior team won the National Championship. We went to Alaska and won. In about 2012 we had a reunion in Los Angeles and it was great to see everyone. I was only 28 when I coached these 17-20 year old young men. We would check into a hotel and the manager would ask, “hey, where is your coach”. I’d raise my hand, “hey, its me”. Some of the players looked older than me!
