Debbie and her husband, Matt, are lifelong hockey fans who share a passion for travel, adventure, and creating unforgettable experiences. Together they founded Beyond the Boards Celebrity Travel to combine two of life’s greatest passions; world-class travel and the game of hockey.
Debbie has built a reputation as a trusted travel professional, helping clients create memorable vacations around the world. Her expertise in planning seamless travel experiences, combined with her dedication to personalized service, ensures every guest enjoys a first-class vacation from beginning to end.
Matt brings more than 25 years of experience working with professional athletes and celebrities. His company, East Coast Sports Collectibles is one of Canada’s leading sports memorabilia and celebrity event companies. Throughout his career he has built trusted relationships with current and former star athletes and celebrities, organizing private signings, public appearances, corporate events and fan experiences.
Together, they envisioned something different: vacations where fans don’t simply attend an event, they travel alongside hockey legends and other sports and entertainment celebrities, sharing meals, stories, excursions, and unforgettable moments. Their goal is to create experiences that go far beyond an autograph or photo opportunity, fostering genuine connections and memories that last a lifetime.
Whether it’s relaxing at a luxury resort, setting sail on a cruise, or exploring an exciting destination, Beyond the Boards Celebrity Travel brings hockey and sports fans closer to the players they admire while delivering exceptional travel experiences.
