My name is Nick St. Germain, while Brian may be addicted to Hockey, I would say I have a healthy passion for the sport in that it is the best game on Earth!

Much like Brian, I grew up playing pond hockey. I started to play organized hockey at the age of 12 with borrowed equipment from friends.  I quickly became hooked and have been playing ever since. I began coaching youth hockey in my 20’s.  Around that same time, I began to play adult league hockey – though was challenged with trying to find the right fit – ice times and optimal level of play.

My wife and I have two boys and of course I just had to introduce them to the sport.  We got them on the ice almost as soon as they could walk. They both have embraced hockey and now we are most definitely a hockey family!  Both of our sons play on travel teams and play all over New England. I currently coach a 14U Bantam team at Oyster River in Durham, NH. 

I met Brian five years ago when my then 5 year old son was coached by him in a learn to play program. He had forty or so 5 year old's on the ice and was not phased. I offered to jump on the ice to help and we have been friends, coaches and hockey nuts ever since.  Combining our passion for hockey, we coached youth hockey teams and began playing hockey together.

Our vision for the Beacons brand is to fuel a love for the game. To offer opportunity to those who have always wanted to play and may not have had the chance or maybe want to continue to play at a level that works for them. We want to offer a Beacon to hockey enthusiasts – youth thru adult who just want to play the game.
