Scott Tassone does not just teach hockey, he sells the game the right way, one kid at a time. The Lightning nominee for the NHL’s teacher award gets recognized for the blend every coach tries to find and few actually deliver - love of the sport, community work, and real staying power. These are the people who keep the pipeline alive long before anyone starts talking about draft picks or roster spots.
