First, it is appropriate to thank Coach Sears for an excellent year. He specifically took the job on the interim and was selected as the MAPHL Coach of the Year.

AD Brady announced that, after an exhaustive search, he had found the man to run the Bears’ Den– Alex Parker. The best way to describe Coach Parker is that he fits a positive hockey term- a rink rat. Mr. Parker worked and played at the Rockville Ice Arena while in high school.

Moved to Harrisonburg, VA for 5 years earning both his BA and then MAT. While a student at JMU, he took on the burden of Head Coach/General Manager of the University’s Club Ice Club. Coach Parker showed his competitive metal by moving his Dukes up from the from Blue Ridge Hockey Conference DIII (BRHC) to Atlantic Coast Collegiate Hockey League DII (ACCHL). In between hours studying he planned and facilitated practice, game, and travel scheduling, tryout and team selection process, weekly practices, and game lineups.

Inspired by his teachers at QO, the college graduate was a long term substitute teacher for the Montgomery County High Schools.

The rink rat was drawn back to hockey and headed to Europe. Subotica, Serbia, a town of 14o,000, and home, since 1939, to the Hokejaški klub Spartak a/k/a HK Spartak Subotica in the Serbian Hockey League. Under the umbrella of Hockey Sans Frontières, Parker was Assistant  Coach Parker for the U8, U10, U12, U16 teams and Goaltender Parker  for the senior club.

Back in the USA, Mr. Parker spent 7 years in Rochester, NY, a hockey hotbed, as a Camp Director and Chief Instructor at the Sport International Hockey Academy.

Most recently, he returned to the DMV and taught at Wootton School. He is able once again to balance the demands of teaching rigorous courses and to  coach of the Wootton team, a very successful  MYHA travel team and  playing on an adult squad. The Patriots under Coach Parker were the 2008, 2009, 2014  MSHL State Champions.

Great credentials for the man behind the bench for the Bears. WELCOME, Coach Parker!!!
