I am heavily involved in the ice hockey community
in Australia (I say “ice” because if you say hockey here
it means field hockey). I was terribly homesick when I
moved to Australia and the ice rink felt like home. We
have about 18 rinks in Australia, and about 3000 total
participants. Both my kids have played, and I played
until last year when I was hurt in a mixed league requir-
ing surgery on my arm. I still referee and coach, and
have been the Commissioner of Ice Hockey Australia’s
women’s and men’s National Leagues, the AWIHL and
AIHL. Being involved in hockey in Australia has allowed
me to travel to places for tournaments and conferences
such as Russia, Finland, Italy, Slovenia, Switzerland,
Japan, and New Zealand. It has also meant I come
back to North America more regularly than I normally
would. And, no surprise, it led me to meet Rob at the
Newcastle ice rink!
With the boys growing up, playing less sport, and
driving themselves around, my participation in hockey Dawn and Rob coaching
has waned a bit. The little bit of free time that I have is
spent on the two racehorses that I own, and Rob and I
enjoy following their training and watching them race.
I can honestly say that while there have been tough
times over the past 25 years, I am very satisfied with
where life has taken me. From the class brat, always in
trouble, to CEO…If I could pass any advice on to future
graduates of Thorsby High School it would be the follow-
ing:
- Don’t give up – be the last man standing if you have
to – work harder than any body and good things will
come
- Friends and family will come and go and change
over the years – and that’s ok
- Travel is so important – Thorsby is a wonderful
place to grow up but there is so much to see; hop off
Highway 39 and see where life takes you
- Life is going to be hard, in fact it might be unbear-
able at times – but always remember “this too shall pass”
– you can’t see it now, but things will be great again
