Leadership Transition for the North Shore Warhawks
We are excited to share that Christy Shebuski has been named the new President of the North Shore Warhawks! As the first female president in our club's history, her unwavering dedication and passion for girls hockey inspires confidence that she will guide us into an exciting and new chapter of our great organization.
“With the support of Warhawks Nation, I look forward to continuing this incredible journey, working to ensure our club remains a beacon of growth and development in girls' hockey. Together, we will make a lasting impact and continue to achieve great things!”

As we embrace this transition, we extend our gratitude to outgoing President Ryan Maguire for his exceptional 8 years of leadership, during which he guided our growth from 50 members, to over 150 members. Ryan will continue to be an integral part of the Warhawks, serving as a voting member of the Board and taking on the vital role of Director of Hockey Operations, where he will remain focused on elevating our hockey program to even greater heights.
“Serving as President of this club has been one of the greatest honors of my life. The memories we've made, the friendships forged, and the growth I've experienced will stay with me forever. This club has become such a meaningful part of my life and my family's life, I can't imagine being without it — and truthfully, I won’t be far. After all, 'when you don't know where to go, go where you're needed.' (IYKYK.) I’m excited to see Christy step into leadership and confident in the direction she'll take the club. Thank you all for the support, the laughs, and the unforgettable moments. See you at the rink!”

A restructuring is also underway to ensure that we continue to grow and provide exceptional opportunities for our young athletes. As part of this restructuring, the role of Vice President will be split into two separate roles where Chris Schoeneck will lead as Vice President of On-Ice Operations, and Ed Sirijintakarn will step up as Vice President of Off-Ice Operations. Together, their leadership will further enhance our mission and help guide the organization forward.
Together, we look forward to further strengthening our developmental approach for our athletes, building upon the vibrant Warhawks community, and continuing to promote and grow the girls' game.
Lastly, we would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to Ryan Maguire for his years of tireless effort and impactful leadership. Since joining the organization in 2018, Ryan has been instrumental in shaping the Warhawks into the thriving community it is today. His vision for a female-led organization, inspired by his East Coast roots and love for hockey, has paved the way for countless opportunities for girls in Northern Illinois and beyond. Ryan’s commitment to coaching, managing behind-the-scenes operations, growing the girls’ game and his dedication to advancing opportunities for young female athletes have left an indelible mark on Warhawks Nation. For this, we are forever grateful!
Thank you, Ryan, for everything you’ve done—and here’s to the exciting future ahead together under Christy’s leadership! Together, we will continue to reach new heights!
