Melisa joined the Chippewa Steel in 2018 as a billet mom. After the inaugural season she took over as the Billet Coordinator. She has billeted many players over the last 4 seasons and looks forward to doing in for many years to come.  She enjoys getting to know the billet families, player families, and players each season. She has lived in Chippewa Falls for the last 8 years with her son Derek and husband Eric. Hockey is her favorite sport to watch. Her son Derek is a goalie and she has loved seeing the influence the Chippewa Steel players have on her son and the other youth hockey players in the community.
