Head coach of the Windigo, Andrew Howard, shares more on what drives him as a head coach ahead of the season.
“Well, the passion for the game. But also seeing these young guys have success and move on to greater things in hockey is personally the biggest reward. They put a lot of time and commitment into it. And as a coaching staff, we want to make sure we at least match that, if not have more dedication to that.”
