Roenick visited the Lynn O’Grady Quinlan Academy in Easton, Pennsylvania last month.

"I'm going to the Winter Classic," says an excited Roenick, "and I want to bring some pizzazz to the game!"

Roenick was treated to a private lesson from Maureen Collins, who holds both her Irish dance teaching certification (TCRG) and adjudicating certification (ADCRG).
