We are proud to announce Whitney Sturtz and Spencer Coltrain as the head coaches of our two PIHA Teams.
Coach Sturtz (pictured left) has been around hockey for over 30 years. As a child, he played for the Des Moines Xplosion and Marshalltown Snipers. In 2012-2013 he played PIHA (Professional Inline Hockey Association) with the Des Moines Xpress. After a couple years off, he passed his passion onto his two children. This also sparked his comeback to the sport. Whitney has since been playing with Leaf Ray in MIHA, PIHA, and TORHS. He was on the 2021 PIHA Western Conference Championship team. We are proud to have him as the Head Coach for our Semi-Pro team.
Coach Coltrain (pictured right) has played since he could walk. He has been playing with the Des Moines Xplosion team for 11 years where he has won countless National Championships including TORHS AAA National Championships in 2020 and 2023. For the 2023-2024 season, he played PIHA with Lakewood Fire Pro team and helped coach the high school team Des Moines Pirates. We are excited to see what he can do with our Minors team.
