ABOUT
Coach Claggett has been surrounded by hockey her entire life. Since being introduced to roller hockey in Michigan at a young age she developed a love for the sport. Although after playing four years of roller hockey, she found her true passion, ice hockey. Coach Claggett began training constantly to be able to become the best she could as a skater when she lived in Washington DC and worked at the Fairfax Ice Arena. While working in Fairfax, she met the Weiss Family who influenced her drive. Michael Weiss, an olympic figure skater, was Coach Claggett’s earliest influence and gave her the tools and assistance needed to continue on her path to become a great player and eventual coach. In 2012, Coach Claggett moved to Waunakee, WI where she has been coaching in the greater Madison area now for over a decade. Coach Claggett is an amazing mother to her three children, Liam (11), Emry (9) and Finn (6).

"I grew up playing club hockey for the Waunakee Wildcats and then played high school hockey for Waunakee and Team Wisconsin. I have played 3 years of juniors and plan to continue my hockey career into college. I plan to study business but I would like to stay in the game after college whether that is coaching or playing pro. I grew up skating with Amy and I credit her in helping me with furthering my hockey career. I have enjoyed all of the lesssons and techniques that she has shown me. I will be helping Amy over the summer with camps and look forward to coaching along her side."
