Kohen Dubeau | Founder
Kohen served in the Marine Corps as a Tactical Network Engineer and Defense Message System Technician. He was honorably discharged in 2007. Today, he continues to defend critical technology infrastructure in the private sector. Kohen is the founder and current president of Rucks 2 Pucks. He learned to play hockey as an adult and found the team and locker room antics reminded him of the military commraderie and esprit de corps he left behind duty. Through social media he found veterans across New England with a similar perspective and decided to take action and form Rucks To Pucks.
Brendan Cabey | Vice President
Brendan served 4 years in the Marine Corps as a Military Working Dog Handler, stationed aboard MCAS Iwakuni, Japan. He was honorably discharged in 2019 in immediately turned back to hockey after a four year hiatus. He started playing hockey soon after he could walk and played through high school. After leaving the service he found several local men’s leagues and eventually found himself playing for Quincy College in their inaugural season, where he is currently a student pursuing a degree in business. His passion to help veterans, stay involved in the veteran community, and to incorporate his love for hockey made joining the Rucks 2 Pucks team an easy decision.
Tony Barnardo | Treasurer
Tony Barnardo is an 8 year Navy Veteran who served as an Aviation Electrician’s Mate with VFA-154, completing two deployments in support of Operations Iraqi and Enduring Freedom. In 2008, he was selected to serve onboard the world’s oldest commissioned warship afloat, USS Constitution, in Charlestown, MA and was honorably discharged in 2011. He’s currently a student at Nichols College, pursuing a MBA, and also helps coach his daughter’s youth hockey team in Worcester. Although he didn’t play organized hockey growing up, Tony’s a big fan of the sport. Utilizing the combination of hockey and camaraderie he’s missed since leaving the service as an effort to combat veteran suicide, joining the Rucks 2 Pucks team was an easy decision for him.
