Laura Stockman
& Crystal Kidd

Crystal Kidd serves as Age Group Coordinator for the 8U Division alongside Laura Stockman. Crystal and her family have been a part of SAYHA since 2018. A hockey mom to a 10U goalie and an 8U forward, she is always game for opportunities to help out, build community and keep hockey fun. Her husband, Brendan, volunteers his time as a coach with SAYHA as well.

Crystal’s favorite 8U moment was when a player called their mom over to the glass in the middle of a game to request a pancake delivery to the bench.

Crystal did not grow up with personal hockey experience, but should have known better when she married a Canadian (and a goalie nonetheless). Her kids were both in hockey skates by the age of 2, and when the weather allows, her family enjoys building an outdoor rink in their backyard. Outside the rink, Crystal leads the development and facilitation of customer learning events at AgWest Farm Credit.

Laura was a team manager last year for her son’s team and decided to become an Age Group Coordinator this year! She looks forward to being a part of the Spokane Youth Hockey and learning more about the hockey community.

Laura is a Colorado native and has lived in Spokane for 10 years. She has run a non-profit for 16 years providing scholarships for high school students. Laura, her husband Tyler and their two kids enjoy going on many adventures, spending time outdoors and being out on the water.

Crystal and Laura strive to maintain strong lines of communication and support for the 8U teams and team managers. The Mite years are a magical time for many kids and families. We want SAYHA to feel like a place where kids have the opportunity to learn, grow and come off the ice with smiles, and families are supported as they learn the sport together.
