Susan Deboer had never been to California until 2014 summer, when she and her family vacationed in the Sonoma wine country with longtime friends.
At that moment, according to the mercucrynews, Susan Deboer never imagined that ‘gorgeous’ California would be the next stop in the family’s hockey journey.
She told about being married to a NHL coach: “His wheels start spinning and it’s August and you know that training camp is around the corner and he’s off and in a different world.”
Not much more is known about Susan Deboer but as she still keeps on finding her way in sunny California, we don’t want to miss her hubby in action.
