Assistant Director, Coach Steve Lamere Assistant Director - Coach Steve Lamere

A native of Apple Valley, MN, Steve basically grew up in hockey skates. Learning to skate at a very young age and having ice to skate on in the back yard 4+ months a year helped not only develop dynamic skating ability, but also an extreme passion for the game of hockey.

After a fulfilling playing career, Steve has been giving back to the game for the past 8 years teaching lessons, camps, and coaching teams. Steve’s main focus is working with players that are at the top of their age level. His intense and passionate way of teaching is truly meant for players that have a strong desire to be pushed out of their comfort zone to become the best player they can be.
