BELMONT WOMEN'S HOCKEY
There's no better place to learn hockey. And no better time!
Coaches
Grace Lancto
Originally from Salisbury, Connecticut, Grace started playing hockey at the age of 4 with her three older brothers and dad. It was a big piece of her life and brought her family together as they traveled around the East Coast to watch and play games. She attended many camps and tournaments over the years, always challenging herself to advance physically and mentally. She played on a co-ed team until she was 17 and then switched to the Falcons, an all-girls travel team. She took a break from hockey while attending college in London, UK and started playing again after moving to Boston.
Grace was an assistant coach during high school and has extensive experience with drills from camps and clinics. She is excited to be on the ice with Belmont Women's Hockey, to further develop as a coach, and to share her love of the game.
Robin Lubbock
Robin started skating as an adult, providing him with empathy and understanding for new adult skaters. Over the last 20 years, he has furthered his skating and game knowledge with pick-up, league teams and twice a week skates. When his kids started playing, Robin coached or helped their teams, from Mites through Midgets. As part of that, Robin became a Level 4 USA Hockey coach.
Robin has been an assistant coach for the Cambridge Moms skate for quite a few years and believes the most important point is that people enjoy the skate. But part of enjoying a skate is working hard, so it's good to be pushed a little!
Liz Kramp

Liz is ecstatic to be part of the Belmont Women's program and to help support and grow women’s hockey!
