Katelyn Wensink

Katelyn Wensink, President for STL Youth Hockey Fights Cancer, has been very active in her community. While holding volunteer positions for organizations such as, Spirit Fights Cancer, Junior Chamber of Commerce, Girls Scouts of America, Boone Center, Alpha Sigma Alpha, Flipside Gymnastics, and St. Peters Spirit Hockey Club, she focused on leadership roles in fundraising, event coordination, management, recruitment, and community involvement.

Professionally, Katelyn has over twenty years of experience in sales and executive management. Her demonstrated ability to lead and encourage people will serve as an asset in growing STL Youth Hockey Fights Cancer.

Katelyn was raised in a hockey family. Her father, John Wensink, played 10 years in the NHL. She credits her parents for teaching her the meaning of giving back, as they have volunteered over 35 years helping youth hockey players. She accepts this position of President in honor of her grandmother, Shirley Back, who lost her battle to cancer in 1998. Katelyn is typically found at an ice rink cheering for her daughter, Taylor Wensink, or her nephews, Jack and Jonas Blankenship, who all have their own appreciation and love for the game of hockey.

“I am honored to lead this wonderful organization in making a difference in the fight against cancer. It is our goal to involve youth hockey players in raising money and awareness for such a worthy cause. There is nothing like a hockey family and I know that the hockey community will work together to make a huge impact.”

Whether its a teammates mom battling cancer and we pull together a meal train or another teammates mom hospitalized from an accident, we swoop in to take care of the kiddo without hesitation.
