Who we are
The Oakland Hockey Project was born in a parking lot — out of a simple belief that Oakland deserves a team of its own. One that reflects the grit, creativity, and heart of The Town. We’re inspired by the community-driven teams that came before us — the Ballers and the Roots — and we’re carrying that spirit forward onto the ice.
This project isn’t just about the game — it’s about building something lasting for Oakland.
Learn more about us below, and follow along as we make it happen.

Co-Founder, Head of Front Office Operations
I’ve been playing hockey in the Berkeley–Oakland community since I was two years old. The rinks here have shaped who I am — as a player, a teammate, and a believer in what hockey can mean to a community.

I started playing hockey in my college years, and I’ve been hooked since. I live in Oakland with my wife and two kids, and I look forward to bringing the joy of hockey to our community.

I am a local business owner in Alameda, and a and lifelong hockey player. My son plays on the 14U Jr. Sharks AAA team, so hockey consumes everything I do. I look forward to recruiting top talent and bringing an incredible product to the ice in Oakland.
