About

Based in "Hockeytown, USA," we're committed to helping hockey players have fun playing hockey.

We're a hockey family.

Tim played at the University of North Dakota in the 90's and graduated from the University of Regina, SK (Canada), in 1999 with a degree in Physical Education. In his junior days, he spent time in the Manitoba Junior Hockey League, Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League (lit the lamp 77 times in two seasons!), and Western Hockey League. Yes, that meets suitcase status!

Jenny is the heart behind Lamplighter Hockey and the proud mom of Grant and Hampton. A lifelong hockey fan and supporter, Jenny has turned cheering into an art form. She's a "Professional Enthusiast” who shows up with energy, encouragement, and yes, she always carries the pom poms (figuratively and sometimes literally). With a background in marketing, she founded Lamplighter Hockey as both a creative outlet and a community—shining a light on the mindset, habits, and values that help young athletes grow into great teammates, leaders, and people. Her passion for the game goes far beyond the rink—it's about celebrating effort, embracing the grind, and finding joy in the journey. Oh - and - she's probably hosted hundreds of backyard rink parties during the past 24 seasons of the backyard rink!

Grant Slukynsky was a 2020 Minnesota Mr. Hockey finalist and has carved out a remarkable path in the world of elite hockey. He currently plays Division I hockey in the NCHC for Western Michigan University, where he and his team won the Frozen Four national championship. Grant played in the USHL for both the Fargo Force—during the unprecedented 2020 season marked by an influx of college and CHL players—and the Sioux City Musketeers. He was instrumental in leading Sioux City to a 2022 Clark Cup Championship and was named Captain for the 2022–23 season. Grit, leadership, and resilience define his journey.

Hampton “Hammer” Slukynsky, a standout goaltender from the storied Warroad High School program, led his team to two Minnesota state tournament appearances and earned three Minnesota youth state titles as a starting goalie. He was awarded the Frank Brimsek Award as Minnesota's Top Goaltender before joining the NTDP in 2023. That same year, he was drafted in the 4th round by the Los Angeles Kings. Hammer backstopped the Fargo Force to a 2024 Clark Cup title, was named USHL Goaltender of the Year, and received USA Hockey’s Dave Peterson Goaltender of the Year Award. He went on to help Team USA win gold at the 2025 World Junior Championship and was a member of the 2025 Men's World Championship GOLD medal-winning team. Now, he's tending net for Western Michigan University, where he and Grant were part of the historic 2025 Frozen Four National Championship Team!
