Father and daughter work together to coach hockey teams

Most athletes play sports as a child because their parents want them to. Some play because they are good.

Some play because they love it.

Brittany Knopp was a product of these factors as a kid. She was great at hockey and was happy to tie up her skates and enter the rink.

Brittany is now the head coach of the Central Michigan University women’s club team.She also works as an assistant coach for the CMU Division II men’s team.

She has a particularly close relationship with the men’s coach: her father, Brian Knopp.

Brian has been the head coach of the DII team for the past four years.
