Head Athletic Trainer Joins Olympic Snowboarding Team
USA Ball Hockey is happy to share that our Head Athletic Trainer, Ben Quigley, has been offered the opportunity to join the USA Snowboarding: Slopestyle and Big Air Teams, which will give him his first ever experience as an Athletic Trainer in the next Winter Olympic games. Ben made the decision after discussions with USA Snowboarding and some talks with his family.
“Being a part of the ISBHF World Championships in Slovakia with USABH was one of the most rewarding experiences of my career. Working with a national team has always been a dream of mine. Being able to do it with an organization like USA Ball Hockey was truly an amazing experience and one that I cherish,” said Mr. Quigley.
Ben will still be dedicated to USA Ball Hockey, and will return as our Head Athletic Trainer for all three ISBHF World Championship events in 2020. Quigley adds, “I can’t wait to continue to grow as a professional and help the team in the upcoming World Championships.”
One of the things Ben tells USABH that he will miss most is working with top ranked Colgate University and their women’s ice hockey team, as well as Colgate’s tennis, swimming and diving teams. But this was an opportunity Ben couldn’t pass up.
“We’re very happy for Ben. He’s a fantastic trainer with a deep passion for helping others. I’m confident his contributions will continue to help athletes in whatever sport Ben decides to be a part of.” said USA Ball Hockey President Chris Banks.
“We look forward to having him continue to help us in 2020, and wish him nothing but the best in his new adventure.” said Banks.
