We are very excited to welcome Coach Lindstrom to the Hill.”

He served as a team captain in both the 2020-21 and 2021-22 seasons after spending the 2019-20 season as an alternate captain. Lindstrom was an AHCA All-American Scholar and CCC academic all-conference honoree in all five of his collegiate seasons.

After completing his bachelor’s degree, Lindstrom served as a Midwest scout for the Wolves, spent time as a U15/U18 coach for the Neponset Valley River Rats in Canton, Mass., served as the program director for Base Elite, and worked as a skills coach for MN Lakers Hockey.
