Nathan Keough
I come from a family of coaches & educators. Coming to the game late, I started playing ice hockey in high school and continued at the club level at Ithaca College in central New York State.
I spent summers playing inline and assistant coaching with some amazing instructors at Cornell University.
I moved to SoCal in 2000, and after 20 years off away from the game, have returned to the ice at SDIA, playing pickup, men’s league, and coaching with my 8 year old son’s teams.
I’ve spent a great deal of time with kids, with summertime coaching, substitute teaching at the schools where my parents worked in New York, and working at various summer camps over the years.
I look forward to meeting and working with everyone in the SDIA community and especially the kids while I re-acclimatize to the ice myself!
