Nadine Sansone
Nadine is originally from New Jersey where her love of hockey started as a college student attending Devils games. Her rink side presence would continue as she cheered on her husband at adult league games in CA, NC and Vegas. In 2015 she enrolled her 2010 birth year son, Nick, in learn to skate and learn to play programs. From then on the local rink became a home away from home.
In the spring of 2020 her husband received new military orders which resulted in a move to Lake Stevens. Nadine has a passion for volunteering and being involved. Whether it’s serving food at a soup kitchen, acting as a family readiness officer during her husband’s deployments or taking a fundraising lead with youth sport teams, she’s always eager to lend a helping hand.
Nadine looks forward to working with YHPE to help support and grow our youth hockey programs.

Troy Hanson
I am originally from North Dakota which is where my love of hockey began as a passionate fan of the UND Fighting Sioux that continues to this day. When I eventually settled in the Puget Sound area, I immediately became a fan of the Seattle Thunderbirds, having attended numerous games in their various venues over the years. When my son Oliver began playing hockey with EYH a few years back, I became a Silvertips fan for good. I enjoy watching hockey at all levels, love talking hockey, and want to do what I can to help grow the game in the area.
