Rusty Krouse - Rusty began playing ice hockey in Sacramento in the late '80s and still plays multiple times a week. His love for the game was first spawned from playing unorganized, neighborhood broomball until many of the local parents decided they’d had enough of the sport that turned the household brooms into nothing more than broomsticks. Many within this same group found roller hockey as an alternative, both indoor and outdoor, before eventually the original group of kids had whittled down to just a few. Rusty and the final few convinced their parents to take them to try ice hockey and they’ve all been hooked ever since. Rusty enjoys teaching the basics and fundamentals to all age groups, with a specialty in both young and old first-time skaters. Focusing on skating, basic edgework and puck handling, proper stance, posture and game fundamentals, Rusty’s goal is to see each of his students move on to play the sport, either competitively or recreationally, for fun and exercise. hockeycoachrusty@gmail.com $38 for 30-minute session
