12 — Dave Hochman from St. Malo, Manitoba, Canada.
In 1979, Dave saw his first sled dog races at the Festival Du Voyager in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and convinced his mom to let him get three dogs. And that’s how Dave’s dog mushing career began. During the summer months, he works as a provincial park maintenance worker. When he’s not training sled dogs, he enjoys singing and playing in a band. Dave has two grown kids, Justin and Julie, and a wonderful partner, Janice, who is also his dog handler.
