Billy is a USA Hockey Level 4 certified coach who has been a dedicated member of the Valley Forge Minutemen coaching staff since 2017. He currently serves as the head coach of the 2014 Valley Forge Minutemen team and has contributed to the development of players at various levels, assisting with teams ranging from Mites to Squirt Major.

A local product, Billy grew up playing hockey in the Valley Forge area and first learned to skate at the former General Washington skating rink at the age of five. He is a graduate of Spring-Ford High School and Villanova University, and has remained actively involved in the sport throughout his life.

In addition to his work with the Minutemen, Billy also coaches within the Spring-Ford Ice Hockey Program, where he works with both the elementary and middle school teams. His dedication to player development and passion for teaching the game make him a valuable asset to the Valley Forge coaching staff.

My focus is on developing the fundamental skills of hockey, while promoting a culture that is accountable, responsible, and hardworking.  I stress a team first approach to the game and am focused on developing a group of young athletes that you would want to be around both on and off the ice.  I strive to promote creativity, playmaking and critical thinking while continuing to push the pace at which they make those decisions.  I believe strongly in growth through failure and will push my team to the breaking point so they understand how much we can learn from it.  My ultimate goal is developing an athlete that loves the sport of hockey and is ready to take the next step in life.
