Full-Time Coaching Staff

• One of the biggest advantages the American Hockey Academy offers to its student-athletes is a dedicated full-time coaching staff.
• 
  
• Our team of coaches are solely committed to our players. Our staff spends their day working on the development, exposure, and advancement of our players to help them prepare for their next steps as a student-athlete.
• 
  
• Our coaches have played at some of the highest levels of NCAA hockey (BU, Providence, ASU, Iona, UCONN, UMASS, Harvard) as well as, professionally (NHL, ECHL, USHL, NAHL, Europe & more).
• 
  
• Our coaching staff not only serves as the typical, on and off ice hockey coaches but also serve as big brothers, mentors, role models, and secondary parents away from home.
• 
  
• Our coaches treat all the players as family and go the extra mile to ensure their safety, well-being and that all student-athletes are getting the most out of the program.
