Rick Geloff - Treasurer - My wife, Brandy, and I have 3 boys (2 are in hockey pee wee next year and more). I am a licensed CPA in ND and am the CFO for Starion bank.  I served as a member of the Bismarck School Board from 2016-2020.  Currently I sit on the Bismarck Public Schools Foundation Board.  I am running for the treasurer seat on the board, as I have a vested interest in the program with my kids being involved.  I also can add my financial expertise and knowledge in serving on a wide variety of community boards in the past.

Brandon Joyce - I am 48 years old. List of qualifications as follows:  1) Spent 24 years in the Navy making numerous easy moderate and hard decisions; 2) Worked at the state prison here in Bismarck for 2+ years teaching GED classes to inmates; 3) I have three children in various stages of growing 17, 13 and my 11 yr old daughter playing in Bismarck Hockey; 4) I have coached all my kids to approximately 12 years old if in a sport that I knew something about; and 5) Currently work as a contractor for Sanford going on three years and I’m sure I’ve interacted with Hockey parents just not knowing it.

Dustin Goetz - I am originally from Sterling ND, but graduated from Century High School. I currently work as an Anesthesiologist/Interventional Pain Physician at Pain Treatment Center Anesthesiologists and Bismarck Surgical Associates. My family and I have been gone the past 10 years for work and training, and have finally made it home. Hockey has always been a major interest, which is why it was introduced to my kids at a young age. My wife and I have 3 boys. We have a second year mite, first year mite, and a soon to be first year termite. We have been involved in 3 different hockey programs up to this point including Iowa, West Fargo, and now Bismarck. I have many reasons for wanting to join the board, most of which is to help the hockey program in Bismarck develop and become competitive year after year. Some of the qualifications I think would be helpful in getting this done include insight into how other programs around the area work (fundraising, how they achieve additional ice, development/structure, etc.), knowledge of running a private business, and most important- a family of 5 who spends most of their evenings and weekends at the rink. 

Kyle Leftwich - Treasurer - I am Bismarck native, born and raised.  My wife Andrea and I have 3 kids in the hockey program ranging from 12U girls to termites.  I grew up playing hockey in the Bismarck Hockey program, followed by 2 years of Junior hockey after High School.  I continue to be involved in youth hockey by coaching at the termite, mite, and squirt levels.  I hold a Doctorate in Pharmacy and Masters of Business Administration and am the Owner/Broker of Paramount Real Estate.  I am running for the treasurer seat with the main focus of bringing the appropriate stakeholders together to develop additional sheets of ice.   Ice time has been and continues to be the most critical issue facing the hockey program at the moment.

Jeff Hruby - I would like to formally submit my name for consideration for the Bismarck Hockey Boosters Board of Directors. My intent on running is to continue to help foster the growth of hockey in our community with an emphasis on not only developing hockey skills, but developing character. With the opportunity provided by the formation of new high school teams, we are at an exciting time in Bismarck and I look forward to helping in whatever way I can. I have two daughters, ages 15 and 13. I am engaged to Megan Houn who has two sons ages 15 and 10 and a daughter who is 12. Three of our five children will be in the BHB system next year, one will be playing high school hockey, and our oldest skates with the Bismarck Figure Skating Club, giving me a wide range of perspectives. I am a native of the Bismarck-Mandan area and graduated from St. Mary’s Central High School before earning my B.S. from The University of North Dakota.  I currently serve as the Chief Development Officer for Advanced Engineering and Environmental Services, LLC. I currently sit on the Board of Directors for Gateway to Science, serving as the chair of the Governance Committee. I am also a Director and the current President of the North American Stormwater and Erosion Control Association - ND Chapter. In my spare time I enjoy playing old man’s hockey, traveling, spending time on the river, and trying to keep up with the kids.

Brad Thompson - I have been on the board as the Girls Off Ice Coordinator for the last year. I work for First International Bank and Trust as a loan officer and have been in banking for  close to 25 years. In addition to the BHB Board of Directors, I am also on the YMCA and Lewis and Clark CDC Boards.I have two kids that will going into their 6th year of hockey with BHB.  My son will be a first year Peewee and my daughter will be a second year 15U. I chose to serve on the board as a way to give back to the organization that has led to positive growth physically and mentally for my kids.  The club is growing and it is a great time to be involved!

Kristin Wentz-Krumwiede - 2nd VP - My husband and I have been married for 19 years and have 4 children who range in age from 13-17. Our youngest has been involved with BHB for 8 seasons, and is looking forward to starting his Bantam season this fall. I have been a foster care case manager for 8 years and enjoy being able to give back to the community. I have been involved with the Bismarck Hockey Club board for the last two years as the 2nd VP. I have enjoyed be part of the board and look forward to the possibility of serving another term as the 2nd VP. I enjoy being part of the board and being part of the solution and enjoy watching the club grow in the way it has these past 8 years that we have been involved.

A message from Bismarck Parks and Recreation: 

Dear Bismarck Residents,

The Bismarck Parks and Recreation District (BPRD) has a long history of providing a wide variety of high-quality recreational opportunities for our residents. Our success is the result of strong partnerships and collaboration with local businesses, non-profit organizations, and various governmental agencies. Together we are committed to ensuring that Bismarck remains a great place to live, work, and play!

Providing premier programs and services require facilities that can accommodate the growing and ever-changing needs of our community. A sales tax increase measure to build an indoor recreation complex failed to win voters’ support in June of 2020. The Bismarck Parks and Recreation District Board of Park Commissioners acknowledge and respect the voters’ decision. However, the identified needs for additional programs and space are not going away, and we are now committed to refining a plan that better reflects the priorities of our taxpayers.

This survey is our attempt to hear the “voice” of every resident as we develop plans that will serve our community for years to come. Please take 5 to 10 minutes to answer this survey!

A paper version of the survey will be inside the Bismarck Parks and Recreation District’s spring/summer Activity Guide.  Bismarck Parks and Rec has surveys available through the Spring/Summer Activity Guide or at their office.  Residents can either complete the paper survey or log on to the website listed on the survey and take the survey online.  If a household would like a second survey or code for another adult in the household, please contact Parks and Rec. 

To collect this feedback, we are working with Community Perceptions, a branch of School Perceptions and an independent firm with expertise in conducting community surveys. All survey data is returned to Community Perceptions to ensure respondent anonymity.

Final survey results will be reported at a Board of Park Commissioners’ meeting and will also be available on the Bismarck Parks and Recreation District’s website at www.bisparks.org.

Thank you for taking the time to complete this survey.

Sincerely,

For all players Squirts and up, the following two forms are required in order for you to participate in the Sanford Power dryland training program.  Please fill these out and return to Sanford at your next training session.
