Former Western New England player Lukas Radina has been named an assistant coach at his alma mater.
“Transitioning from a player to a coach at WNEU is exciting,” Radina told USPHLPremier.com. “I’m eager to leverage my on-ice experience and contribute to the team’s development from a new perspective. My NCAA years were a great learning experience. They taught me a lot about playing at a high level and gave me a strong foundation in teamwork and discipline.”
Radina played for two seasons with Anna Maria, before transferring in 2022 to WNEU.
“I learned a lot about game strategy, how to stay in top shape, and what it takes to improve as a player,” said Radina. “These lessons will help me teach and guide players more effectively. Our first official practice is scheduled for early September. This summer, the WNEU coaching staff and I are focusing on team-building exercises, conditioning, and reviewing game strategies to ensure a strong start.”
