The Board of Directors for Sun Valley Youth Hockey has hired former adult Suns player, Frank Salvoni as the organization’s new Executive Director.

Salvoni, whose family has deep roots in the local hockey scene, starts his new position this week.

Salvoni began his hockey career playing prep school hockey at Avon Old Farms School in Connecticut. He went on to serve as captain of his college hockey team at Lake Forest College, where he won the prestigious Nicholas J. Wasylik Senior Athletic Award for his positive, outgoing attitude as well as drive and determination.

Salvoni played for the adult Sun Valley Suns team from 2002-2007, serving as captain for a time. He has been a volunteer coach for Sun Valley Youth Hockey for the past 12 years, coaching at every level.

“We are so honored that Frank is stepping into this important role for our organization,” said Board President Brooke McKenna. “He brings a rich history of expertise to Sun Valley Youth Hockey and an unmatched commitment to hockey in the valley. He is well-respected in our community, in the State of Idaho and beyond.”

As one of the oldest and biggest hockey clubs in the state, Sun Valley Youth Hockey has introduced the game to thousands of kids since 1994.

Salvoni says he will approach his new position from a philosophy he has built over time: “The sport of hockey teaches about life--how to be a good person, teammate and community member, more than anything else. It is my belief that all of us are better as a team.”

Sun Valley Youth Hockey is planning a meet-and-greet tailgate party at the Hailey Ice parking lot on Friday, May 9, to introduce Salvoni in his new role. For more information, contact sunvalleyyouthhockey@gmail.com.
