DelCastillo might be a familiar name for some associated with Coon Rapids youth hockey because six of Doc and Sue DelCastillo's seven daughters, ages five to 17, are part of nearly every level of the program.
Britni is a senior, Brandi is a sophomore, Bryna is a freshman, Brooke plays U10, Brylei plays U8 and Bradi plays mites.
