Elizabeth Turcovsky Named Our Hockey Mom of the Year Winner!

Elizabeth Turcovsky Named Our Hockey Mom of the Year Winner!

Congratulations to our Hockey Mom of the Year, Elizabeth Turcovsky of Mentor Youth Hockey Association!

 

Elizabeth was one of our five monthly winners (November) who was selected from a diverse judging panel of staff, agents, and community members as our Hockey Mom of the Year.  “Elizabeth exemplifies all the characteristics of an extraordinary hockey mom”, stated Todd Van Horn, Hockey Program Director for Stouffer Realty Services, “she goes above and beyond not only for her hockey association but also the community at large.”

 

Elizabeth serves as the Business Manager for her son, Kilian’s, squirt team facilitating communication between the coaching staff and parents and handling multiple game-day responsibilities before the puck drops.  On the association level, Elizabeth serves as the Corresponding Secretary— a position she has held for the last three years.

 

Growing up in a hockey family watching her brother’s play, hockey traditions were an important part of Elizabeth’s life.  Because of this, it was important to her to bring back the “Ice of March” a 20-year hockey tradition to Mentor, Ohio.  Elizabeth was instrumental in resurrecting the tournament which includes over 50 teams throughout the region including New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, and Canada participating.

 

Off the ice, Elizabeth displays her selflessness on a day-to-day basis. As a special education teacher for sixteen years, Elizabeth works with medically fragile children for the Lake County Board of Developmental Disabilities. Her willingness to help those in the special needs community often extends beyond her classroom duties from connecting the families of her students with additional resources to chaperoning a monthly dance for special needs adults. 

 

Elizabeth received a $1,000 donation to her team, a personalized Penguins® jersey, and a commemorative plaque.  She and her team will receive the completion of the prize pack, including a team skate at PPG Paints Arena, in Spring 2021 when able within state safety guidelines.

 

“We appreciate the patience all the hockey moms have displayed when we had to delay the announcement of Hockey Mom of the Year and fulfillment of the prize pack in March”, stated Tom Hosack, Chief Executive Officer of Stouffer Realty Services, “we are excited and honored to finally be able to announce Elizabeth as our winner.”

Congratulations Elizabeth, and thank you for all your hard work and dedication!
