“Other positive influences were my coaches during my senior year high school at Pilot Mound Hockey Academy, Harry Mahesh and Brad Platt”, said Saige. “The relationship and bond I had with my two coaches is something I’ll never forget. These two have pushed me beyond my reaching point. My senior year was hard with hockey, I didn’t enjoy it as much as I used too and these two changed that as soon as they knew what was going on. They are truly the most supportive coaches I’ve had, because they believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself. Still today, they’ll FaceTime or call to check on me and ask how everything is going and I appreciate that so much.”
