Skaneateles sniper

Tory Cole was just a youngster when he caught Mitch Major's eye. Major, the varsity hockey coach at Skaneateles, worked with Cole in day camp and in the summer program while Cole was growing up. There was something about him that captivated Major. His effort.

“He was one of those individuals, that the way he skates and handles the puck, he has that natural ability and you can't help but notice him out there,” Major said. “Everything he does is very smooth and effortless.”
