Pickler of Distinction

Hank McLaughlin

There are those players whose importance to the game of pickleball is not measured in terms of gold medals or official titles but rather in the service they provide to others. Hank McLaughlin is a shining example of that. Hank with help from Kevin, Chuck and his wonderful wife Peg is the reason why West Peabody Pickleball has grown from 4 players to one that now has five courts and is one of the top places to play in MA. And he has helped create a friendly and sociable group that will miss him dearly as he moves to The Villages.

Where did you first hear of Pickleball?

I first heard of Pickleball my second year in the Villages (Florida ). The third year I actually played.  Took a bunch of lessons. Came back to MA and spent three months finding places to play. 

Where do you play now?

That gets me to where do I play now. My home court is Corbiel Park in West Peabody. That's in the summer. In the winter I play in the Villages.

What do you like most about Pickleball?

I started because I like racquet  sports. I play for the competition and the camaraderie. Pickleball is really a great game for married people. My wife Peggy and I play in several groups so it's a great social event.

What was your favorite vacation?

Favorite vacation was good enough to do twice. Peggy & I went to several Hawaiian islands twice, our 25th and 30th wedding anniversary. 3 weeks each time. Very special.

What was your favorite Movie?

The Great  Escape with Steve McQueen
