Robert Beatty, Owner

My name is Robert Beatty, but most will know me as Rob, Gunny, Beatty, or a couple other combos! I’m passionate about my sports, but my true love is ice hockey. I grew up in a little town called Timber Bay, and graduated as a member of Montreal Lake Cree Nation, located one-hour north of Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. My hockey career started in Timber Bay at the age of four, then I played my last year of hockey in Saskatchewan in 1995. In 1997, I enlisted in the Marines, then didn’t pick up a stick again for eleven years. Upon returning from Iraq in 2008, I met my beautiful wife Susan, who reintroduced me to hockey in Wilmington, NC. While serving, I had the honor of playing for the US Marines Hockey Team during the early days of their hockey club program. After retiring from the Marines in 2017, I continued my hockey journey in the Greensboro A/B Adult League and transitioned into coaching. I’ve coached teams from Mites through 12U and had the privilege of being named Assistant Coach — and later Interim Head Coach — for the High Point University Division III Men’s Hockey intercollegiate club team.

Will Riedell, Coach

I am from Greensboro NC. I grew up and played hockey in Greensboro until I was 16 years old. Moved to Vermont and attend Vermont Academy in the Lake Region Small school. From there I played 2 years in the NAHL for the New Jersey Titans. After New Jersey I played 4 years at Lake Superior State University. My senior season I was named assistant caption. We won the league championship and made the first NCAA appearance in over 20 years. Following my senior season I decided to play a 5th year of college where I attended The Ohio State University and was named captain. After my senior season I begin my journey through professional hockey. My first 3 years I have played in the AHL, ECHL, with San Jose and Calgary. Most recently made the transition to Europe playing in Munich, Germany for Red Bull. I am looking forward to working and helping you achieve your dreams and goals.
