Greg Gibson, Wayzata Youth Hockey Association
Jerry Jensen - Host
Greg Gibson, a non-hockey player, shared how when he moved to Plymouth from Madison, WI, he ended up getting involved with Hockey and the Wayzata Youth Hockey Association. Greg has been on the board 19 years, and 17 of those years have been as the President. His wife Renee, is also very active on the board and does the website.Greg's son, Devin, was the conduit to joining the association. Devin, who started skating a bit "late," wasn't the best skater and Greg felt there needed to be more resources and services for beginning to middle level skaters. Greg started attending meeting to voice his concerns and opinions on this issue and ended up joining the board and helping shape the current association.
The WYHA is in it's 50th year and has expanded to be very inclusive, girl friendly, and provides many levels of hockey for kids of all ages (after 4!) and adults to get involved. For more details and information, click here.
