Instructor/Recruiter
Mark D'onofrio
Mark has been coaching hockey with Red Deer Minor Hockey for over 7 seasons. Five of those seasons as the head coach for his son's team. After realizing that goalies are neglected in the minor hockey system 5 years ago, he became certified through Hockey Alberta as a goalie coach. Mark has played goal for several years in men’s leagues, but his true passion is instructing and teaching. He has worked with the Barabonoff hockey camp, Hockey Alberta as well as the TBS hockey school in Red Deer. Mark is also credited with jump starting Stable in the net to where it is today. After approaching Kraymer, the 2 of them put their heads together and launched SITN just weeks later. Mark's influence in Red Deer minor hockey has helped build awareness of Stable in the Net's presence in central Alberta.
