Jenny got involved with Hockey Has Heart back in 2015, when her brother, who played hockey all his life, was injured in a snowboarding accident and was left paralyzed. HHH quickly came to the aid of friends and family to pull off a very successful auction to help with medical expenses within a matter of weeks. Jenny was officially asked to become part of the board in the following year and has been involved ever since.

She works full time in sales for a data and analytics company and lives with her husband Adam in Berkley surrounded by her favorite people – her siblings. Her favorite activities include anything outdoors, traveling and fitness. When not homebound, you can find them climbing mountains in Colorado or wine tasting in California.

Myra is a founding member of Hockey has Heart and has been instrumental in its success.  She's been involved in hockey since her son's John and David began playing.  Myra's twin daughters, Jacqueline and Josephine, are synchronized skaters who have successfully competed for Team USA in numerous international competitions both here and abroad.  Following in their father's footsteps, both of Myra's grandsons are playing hockey now too. 

Myra is the USA District 4 registrar and served on the MAHA District 4 council.  Besides hockey, Myra serves as equestrian coach for Huron High School in New Boston.  She and her husband, Dave, live in Farmington Hills.

Keith is better known as the father of the triplets.  His two sons played hockey from their early elementary school years through varsity hockey at Grosse Pointe South.  Later they played in various leagues at Michigan State University.  His daughter played D-II club hockey at Miami University in Ohio. 

While the kids were growing up, Keith served as Ice Director for the Grosse Pointe Hockey Association and as manager of several teams.  He brings his thirty plus years of sales and marketing experience with IBM to Hockey has Heart. 

Both Keith and his wife, Sara, along with their dogs, Elsa & Georgia, enjoy many an evening watching Red Wings games.

In 2002, father of five children, Terry Gould, was on the national transplant registry waiting for a new heart.  His fight became well known and the Michigan hockey community overwhelmingly responded with donations and prizes.  In early 2003 an event was held for the Gould Family and later that spring Terry received his much needed heart. 

Terry and his wife, Patrice, live in Plymouth and continue to enjoy life and their newly expanding family, now with six grandchildren and one on the way.  Terry joined the HHH Board soon after he recovered and is living proof of the power of prayer and community.

Growing up in the Detroit area Doug has always had hockey in his blood.    As a player,  past travel and high school coach his 45 plus years of hockey experience were his reasons to serve the hockey community and give back to the sport.  

Doug has been involved with Hockey has Heart since 2019 and became a Director soon after. Doug ran a Hockey League at the Cranbrook Wallace Ice arena and used that for his first "fundraiser" that provided HHH with a nice donation from charity games.  

Doug’s current job is with General Motors as an Advanced Chassis Designer and works remote from Naples Florida. Since moving to the Sunshine State, Doug and his wife, Alisa, enjoy the beach, golf, paddle boarding and biking.
