Kevin Ward is a life long fan of hockey. He grew up in Northern VA where he followed the Capitals.  He graduated from the University of Dayton in 1999, where he majored in Communication Management. After school Kevin moved to Colorado where he worked for Service Magic during the week and spent as much time outdoors in the mountains as possible during the weekends.  In 2006 he and his wife moved to Michigan to spend time with her family.  He spends most days talking  hockey, whether it's with his office job at hockeyworld.com or at the rink during a men's league game or even playing hockey with his 4 year old son.

President: Robert Perani, Jr.
I was born in Flint, Michigan and played hockey growing up.  I Graduated from University of Dayton in 1996 and came back to work for my dad, Bob Perani, in the family business.  After my mom passed in 2006, I took a bigger role in the daily operations of the business and also took a position on the foundation board named in my mom’s honor, the Kris Perani Hockey Foundation. I currently live in Grand Blanc, Michigan with my five children.
