In addition, she brought numerous volunteers to help at MP practices and events whose talents included videography and fundraising as well as bringing other hockey teams to participate in team scrimmages/fundraising events with MP athletes.

Martha Martin, current Secretary, is also stepping down from the Board after four years. She has supported the organization in many other ways such as introducing volunteers and making connections for jerseys and grant opportunities.
