🏒 Once a Jr. Amerk, Always a Jr. Amerk! 🇺🇸

We’re incredibly proud to recognize two members of our Jr. Amerks family, Coach Nathan Paetsch and his son, Kellen Paetsch, as they continue their hockey journeys!

Nathan spent eight years coaching with the Jr. Amerks before joining the AHL’s Rochester Americans as an assistant coach. This season, he takes the next step in his coaching career as Head Coach of the USHL’s Youngstown Phantoms.

Kellen grew up playing in the Jr. Amerks program until 14U before moving on to Bishop Kearney. This season, he’s representing his country as a member of USA Hockey’s National Team Development Program! 🇺🇸

We couldn’t be prouder of both Nathan and Kellen and wish them continued success at the next level!

Once a Jr. Amerk, Always a Jr. Amerk! ❤️💙
