With the crowd buzzing inside the arena, Luke Pye glides into position for a faceoff deep in the home team’s defensive zone, directing players to set their sticks before lowering his gaze to the puck.
He steadies himself, drops it cleanly and quickly backs away as the players battle for possession.
For Pye, moments like this are the result of years of work that has taken him from local rinks to some of hockey’s biggest stages.

“I’ve seen changes over the last few years that portend such enormous shifts in what education is for and how we go about our business,” she says.
