Brian Kudrle started playing organized hockey when he was 12. After playing high school hockey on Long Island (NY) he attended the US Coast Guard Academy where he played at the D3 level. Upon graduation, he married Lexi and began his career as a search and rescue helicopter pilot. He has 4 children, 2 sons that play ice hockey and 2 daughters that are competitive gymnasts. Brian enjoys the NY Rangers, all things hockey, doing just about anything with his family, skiing, and aviation. He has been chasing ice all over the country. Being stationed everywhere from Cape Cod to San Diego there was never a station where he was not playing or teaching his children to play. He has been involved in youth hockey at all levels for the past 10 years. He is greatly looking forward to passing on his love of the game to the 10U East Coast Thunder team.
