We are thrilled to introduce you to our newest members of our FHA Coaching Family: John Murphy and his son Cody.  John will be the Head Coach of the U16s and he will be assisted by Cody.

John Murphy has a long hockey history.  His journey began as a player for FHA.  He played AAA and Juniors and had numerous try-outs with NHL camps, e.g. Pittsburg and Blackhawks.  He has coached at CYA, TI and Mission.  Prior to taking a break, he was the hockey director at Lake Forest High School.

Cody Murphy grew up playing for the Falcons before moving onto AAA, USHL, and the Division I with Miami University. He played professional in Sweden for four seasons. Last season was his first behind the bench with the Chicago Jets u15 CSHDL where he assisted for Brain Noonan.

Please give them both a warm Falcon's welcome when you see them at the rink!
