starter and senior captain of the University of Massachusetts Division I

Parent Roles: Team Manager -
Team Managers work with the coaches and with the Lightning organization to provide
answers to any questions families have. A Team Manager is key to keeping
everyone informed and organized, at the right place for practices and games,
and with the right gear. If you want to know what's going on
and you feel you can communicate clearly and quickly to people, this is the job
for you! Please contact us at

to volunteer to be Assistant Coaches. We are lucky to have two very

experience, will assist the team again in the spring. Christine McDonough,
former UVM player and coach with Lightning for the past two years will assist
both the Green and the White teams. If you are interested in helping out as an
