Sam (they/them)

Sam (they/them) was born and raised near Hartford Connecticut (go whalers!) and took a pit stop in NY before settling here in NC. Growing up in New England, time on the ice was a big deal whether it be skating lessons or catching a Wolfpack game (boo Rangers). They often watched hockey lessons from the figure skating side of the rink with awe and envy. Their love for hockey was reignited here in NC and with the rise of the PWHL. When not with the gayniacs you can find Sam gathering with friends around a board game or DND campaign, exploring new parks with their partner and mini Aussie, or curling up with a good book or television show. They are passionate about creating a world that is built on equity, empathy, and community.
