Former Manhattanville grad assistant Riley named new assistant coach at Albertus Magnus

-

September 24, 2021

Albertus Magnus has announced the hiring of Jack Riley as the program’s new assistant coach.

Riley joins the Falcons’ staff after spending the last two years as a graduate assistant coach at Manhattanville.

“I would like to thank (Albertus Magnus coach) Kyle Wallack for this opportunity and for welcoming me into the Albertus hockey family,” said Riley in a statement. “I’m extremely grateful and look forward to doing everything I can to help the program and our players achieve great success.”

“Our program is thrilled to announce Jack as the newest addition to the coaching staff,” added Wallack. “His experience as a player and coach will add a huge value to our student-athletes and staff. I look forward to working beside him this coming season.”

Before Manhattanville, Riley had a successful four-year career as a forward and two-year captain at Mercyhurst. After college, he played professionally in the ECHL for the Rapid City Rush and the Reading Royals.

A native of West Point, N.Y., Riley completed his master’s in Sports Business Management from Manhattanville in 2021. He also possesses a bachelor’s in Business Management from Mercyhurst that he finished in 2018.

Women’s Division I College Hockey: 2021-22 NEWHA season preview

By Nicole Haase

-

September 23, 2021

It’s very difficult to try and parse the small bits of info gathered through fits and starts last season to prognosticate what might shake down in this conference this season. Most of the rosters have had significant turnover since the abrupt end of the 2019-20 season and no one knows how the time off will affect programs and players. Sacred Heart and Franklin Pierce have traditionally been the top two teams, but LIU showed in their first season that they’re going to be a team to reckon with. The conference feels very wide open.

Franklin Pierce

Last Season
2-0
19-20 results: 13-7 (second)

Names to Know

Senior goalie Emme Ostrander was among league leaders in goals against and save percentage over the past two seasons.

Sophomore Jenna Ruiz has a nose for the net. She and Emilie Prive will have to build on their short experience from last season.

What to Watch For

The Ravens are a young team that graduated a lot of offense two seasons ago. The good news is the younger players are stepping up. The top two scorers last season were rookies and the top six were underclassmen. Things are definitely up in the air overall in the league and with so much time passed and so many changes, it’s going to be difficult to know how the league will shake out until some more games are played.

Crystal Ball

I have the Ravens finishing second, but I’ll be honest and say I have no idea how this year is going to shake out in the NEWHA.

Long Island University

Last Season
2-1
19-20 results: 11-9 (fourth)

Names to Know

Junior Carrigan Umpherville was a breakout star in her and the program’s rookie year. She led the team with 33 points and was among point per game leaders for all rookies that season.

Senior Alva Johnsson is a 5’11” forward from Sweden who’s a huge asset in front of the net, with great hands and vision, but she also led the team in blocks with 54 two seasons ago. A true 200-foot player, Johnsson is a leader on and off the ice.

What to Watch For

Can the Sharks recapture the lightning that something special they created in their postseason run in 2020? After finishing fourth in the standings, they played some incredible (and incredibly long) hockey to win the first-ever NEWHA conference tournament. It was a stunner and a truly improbable and amazing way to cap off their first season. Unfortunately for LIU, the world turned upside down shortly thereafter and now they need to try and find a way to recreate that momentum and excitement.

The focus has to be on tightening up the defense. The Sharks did it in fits and starts that first season, but they can’t keep averaging more than four goals against a game if they want to solidify their place among the top teams in the league.

Crystal Ball

I’m predicting third until I can see more.

Post

Last Season
Post did not participate in the 20-21 season due to the pandemic.
19-20 results: 2-19 (sixth).

Names to Know

Freshman Hannah Luckman skated for Team USA in the Inline Hockey World Championships, where she won gold. She had three goals and two assists in seven games during the tournament.

Junior forward Jenna Abeyta led the team in scoring two years ago as a rookie and set a program record for goals scored in a game with four. She’s dynamic and fast on both ends of the ice. She also led the team with 65 blocks.

What to Watch For

The Eagles return a solid core that should bring experience and a desire to get back on the ice. They struggle with consistency and depth. Abeyta can’t do it by herself and it doesn’t bode well for the team if she’s a leader in stats on both ends of the ice. With just two conference wins the last season they took the ice, there’s nowhere to go but up.

Crystal Ball

The Eagles finish sixth.

Sacred Heart

Last Season
1-2
19-20 results: 18-2 (first).

Names to Know

Freshman Kerryn O’Connell won the John Carlton Memorial Trophy presented by the Boston Bruins as the top hockey student-athletes in Massachusetts.

Senior Anna Klein was conference Rookie of the Year as a freshman and a second-team all-NEWHA selection as a sophomore. She was third on the team in scoring her second year and looks to be an anchor for this offense.

What to Watch For

Sacred Heart has been the team to beat in NEWHA. They play a tough style and average more than three goals per game. Though not quite as tight on defense and I think they’d like to be, they’re still keeping opponents to fewer goals than they themselves score and that balance makes them tough to unseat.

Crystal Ball

With little else to usefully inform these decisions, I have to give Sacred Heart’s consistency and experience the nod for first place.

Saint Anselm

Last Season
Saint Anselm did not participate in the 20-21 season due to the pandemic.
19-20 results: 11-8-1 (third).

Names to Know

New head coach Jen Kindret was most recently an assistant with Robert Morris. She’s young – a 2013 RMU grad – but brings a wealth of experience in every aspect of coaching and managing a team. Her youth and similar experience should resonate with the players. A great recruiter, this could signal an interesting tide change for the Hawks.

Sophomore Abigail Blair is a small, crafty forward that uses her size to her advantage and does not get pushed around. Expect her to make an early impact after having to wait a year to make her presence known.

What to Watch For

For the first time in their program’s history, Saint Anselm will only face National Collegiate-level teams. It’s a tough schedule, but one that will only serve to test the Hawks and ultimately help them get better. This is a big and good step for this program.

Saint Anselm is carrying two freshman goalies, a senior who has not played any minutes and Quinnipiac transfer Allie Kelley. It appears the job in net is wide open and seeing how these four push each other for playing time will be fun. If they can find a solid starter early, they should be able to gather momentum on the offensive end.

Crystal Ball

I have them fourth, but think they have the pieces to push the top teams more this year.

St. Michael’s

Last Season

St. Michael’s did not participate in the 20-21 season due to the pandemic.
19-20 results: 4-15-1 (fifth).

Names to Know

Junior Meaghan Kennard is the team’s leading returning scorer. She’s a cerebral player with a good shot and eye on the net.

Junior Callie Wiley is listed as an F/D. A physical player, she’s racked up a lot of penalty minutes, but if she can reel it in a bit, she’s great on the puck and battling on the boards.

What to Watch For

The Purple Knights also have an inexperienced set of goalies that will be fighting for the starting job. Senior Gabriella Dicomitis played just four games her sophomore year after not playing as a rookie and the team did not play last season. She’s joined by two rookies who will be looking to take advantage of this opportunity.

Crystal Ball

Until we see more hockey, I have them fifth.

Women’s Division I College Hockey: 2021-22 CHA season preview

By Nicole Haase

-

September 23, 2021

Robert Morris cut their men’s and women’s hockey programs with little notice and many of the women’s team players have signed elsewhere. The Colonials won the CHA conference tournament and advanced to the NCAA Tournament where they lost to Northeastern in the opening round. There is an ongoing fight to reinstate the teams, but I’m not sure that re-receiving the university’s sanctioning would matter for the women’s team. Many of their players have transferred and committed to new teams since the announcement.

This is the 20th year of CHA play. Penn State is the preseason number 1 and is trailed by Syracuse, Mercyhurst, Lindenwood and RIT.

Lindenwood

Last Season

2-14-1, 2-13-1 (fifth). Lost to Syracuse in the opening round of the CHA tournament.

Names to Know

Sierra Burt is a returning fifth year senior that led the team in scoring last season.

Senior goalie Annika Asplundh is the defensive rock the team builds out from.

At 6’0” tall, senior forward Jada Burke is a huge presence up front that has had some big games in her career. Her physicality is quick hands are a huge bonus for the in the faceoff circle.

What To Watch For

The Lions will benefit from more consistent time on the ice together. There are very good players on this roster that have to take another step forward. Asplundh is a solid presence in net, but the defense needs to let fewer shots reach the net and the offense has to average more than a goal or so per game. If Lindenwood can be a bit more aggressive on offense while not giving up too much on the blue line, it should make a big difference for them. It’s coach Shelley Looney’s third season, but the first one where I think we’ll really get to see how her style and influence impact the team.

Crystal Ball

I have Lindenwood finishing fourth, but think they have a lot of upside and potential.

Mercyhurst

Last Season

10-7-1, 10-6-1 (second). Lost to Robert Morris in overtime in the CHA Tournament semifinals.

Names to know

Fifth year player Kristy Pidgeon joins the Lakers from Clarkson. She brings height and physicality to the offense as well as a wealth of experience.

Sophomore Sarah Boucher led the team in points as a rookie.

Alexa Vasko returns for her bonus year to wear the C for a third year. Her leadership is invaluable to this team.

What To Watch For

Offense. That’s not to say that Mercyhurst doesn’t have a good defense or goaltending, but a quick and talented offensive corps makes the Lakers dangerous.

It would be foolish to ever overlook the history and experience of Mercyhurst and coach Mike Sisti. They’re simply never out of contention. They were picked third in the preseason poll, but the Lakers will push both Syracuse and Penn State for points and position in the standings. They return 19 players to a team that averages about three goals scored per game in recent years. Six different players scored goals in their game against RIT last weekend.

Crystal Ball

I’m picking them second for now, but would not at all be surprised if they win another league title.

Penn State

Last Season

16-3-2, 16-2-2 (first). Lost to Syracuse in the CHA semifinals.

Names to know

Kiara Zanon was last year’s CHA Rookie and Player of the Year was also picked as the preseason Player of the Year. She led the league – and all NCAA rookies – in scoring last season with 10 goals and 20 assists.

Sophomore goalie Josie Bothun was our Rookie of the Year last season after back-stopping the team to 16 wins, one shy of the program record in a season with far fewer games played. Having her in net gives the Nittany Lions the ability to be more daring on offense.

What to Watch For

Penn State made a big push forward last season, but there are questions about how they’ll fare against and in comparison to a full slate of teams. They made each of the pre-season top 10 polls for the first time ever and will be looking to build on the momentum and experience of last season. There is a lot more focus on this squad than ever before and how they handle that is pivotal to how their season turns out. There’s a difference between chasing or being an upstart and holding strong at the top. This is the Nittany Lions’ first time starting the season as conference favorites and nationally ranked.

They were left out of the national tournament last season, which will definitely be a motivator, but they’ll also have to prove that they really do belong. They can quiet doubters early as they start their year with difficult non-conference series with St. Lawrence and Boston College. The results of those games will go a long way in determining where they measure up against the rest of the country. Wins in these games will be very important to their resume when it comes time to talk about the NCAA tournament. Of course, they can just win the conference tournament and take the decision out of any one else’s hands.

In the abbreviated season, they were second in the country in team defense, but their special teams were not where they’ll need to be to pull out close games this year in a tight CHA race.

Crystal Ball

I have them finishing first, but don’t think it will be easy.

RIT

Last Season

1-15, 14-0 (sixth). Lost to Robert Morris in the opening round of the CHA tournament.

Names to know

Freshman Sarah Coe split time in the net in RIT’s non-conference game with Mercyhurst last weekend and did very well. The plan may be to continue to split time, but she certainly caught some attention for her first time on the ice.

Sophomore Chloe McNeil is a transfer from Providence that already showed she’ll make an impact in RIT’s first game. She’s not afraid to put the puck on net and brings another option for the Tigers up front.

What to Watch For

This is a younger team with a lot of room to grow and plenty of opportunities to surprise people. Offense hasn’t been a strong suit in recent years, but the Tigers already seem more aggressive and willing to put the puck on net. If they improve over the course the year they way it looks like they can, their final regular season weekend against Penn State could be a lot of fun as they look to maybe play spoiler. This feels like a team to keep an eye on.

Crystal Ball

I have RIT finishing fifth.

Syracuse

Last Season

12-9-1, 8-6-1 (fourth). Lost to Robert Morris in the CHA Championship.

Names to know

Returning fifth year goalie Allison Small is a big win for the Orange. She’s among program leaders in net and is one of the big reasons the team is allowing fewer than two goals per game. The Orange have also added Arielle Desmet from Robert Morris. They’re in a good spot no matter who is in net.

Fifth year defender Jessica DiGiralamo is a pre-season all-conference pick and last year’s CHA Defender of the Year.

What to Watch For

Syracuse is returning its top scorers, but DiGiralamo was second on the team in scoring from the blue line. The Orange need more contributions on offense if they’re going to push Penn State for the top spot. They came back from down 2-0 to tie up their exhibition with RPI last weekend, but couldn’t close out the game. Rookie Sarah Marchand looks like she could be a breakout star this season. The Orange will need immediate contributions.

The Orange have played the role of spoiler recently, but I’d like to see them show a bit more consistency. They have the ability to beat every other team in this league on any given day, but don’t always hit the ice looking like they know that fact.

Crystal Ball

For now, I have Syracuse third. I think they’ll finish anywhere from 1-3.

Michigan State names Ward senior advisor to Spartans’ coaching staff, hires Strom as volunteer assistant coach

By USCHO Staff

-

September 22, 2021

Peter Ward and Dylan Strom are the newest members of the Michigan State hockey staff.

Michigan State has announced that Peter Ward has been named senior advisor to the coaching staff and Dylan Strom has joined the program as a volunteer assistant coach.

Ward brings significant experience, having most recently served as a special assignment scout for USA Hockey in what was his second stint with the organization. He worked with USA Hockey for eight seasons with the NTDP as assistant director of player personnel and then director of player personnel. During his time with the NTDP, Ward helped the U.S. capture gold six times at the IIHF Under-18 Championships.

In between his time with USA Hockey, Ward was the head U.S. scout for the Vegas Golden Knights from 2016 to 2019.

“Peter brings a lot of experience as an advisor to coaches, so it’s good to have Peter on board,” Spartans coach Danton Cole said in a statement. “Someone with Peter’s experience both on an individual scouting level and team scouting level brings knowledge and unique aspects to the team and makes us better as coaches.”

Strom is an active duty member of the United States Air Force and comes to MSU from Colorado, where he has served as a high school head coach. Strom was the head coach at Fort Collins High School for the last three seasons where he compiled a 39-6-3 (.844) regular-season record. He led Fort Collins to the state semifinals in all three seasons he was behind the bench, and to the championship game in 2020 and 2021.

Strom worked alongside former Spartan assistant coach George Gwozdecky for two seasons as an assistant with Team Colorado. He served as a head coach in the Colorado Prep Hockey League from 2016 to 2021, where he helped his team earn an invite to USA Hockey Nationals in 2021.

“There is a lot of entitlement in today’s society and in what Dylan is doing, he’s really representing the opposite in how he’s trying to move forward in his coaching career,” Cole said. “He will bring a very important leadership aspect that will be an outstanding benefit to all of our players.

“We’re excited to have both Peter and Dylan joining our program.”

In addition, two current staff members have received new titles. Dan Sturges, who joined the program in 2018 as director of hockey operations, has received the title of director of hockey strategy, video and analytics. Barbara Powers has been with the Spartan hockey program since 2016 and now holds the title of director of hockey operations.

Zapolski returns to Mercyhurst men’s hockey team as Lakers’ new volunteer assistant coach

By USCHO Staff

-

September 22, 2021

The Mercyhurst men’s hockey team announced Tuesday the addition of former Lakers goalie Ryan Zapolski to the coaching staff as an volunteer assistant coach.

“We are all very excited to have Ryan Zapolski join our coaching staff as a volunteer assistant coach,” Mercyhurst coach Rick Gotkin said in a statement. “He is one of our program’s most decorated alums having just completed a tremendous professional playing career in both the United States and in Europe. His playing career was capped off by being the starting goaltender for Team USA in the 2018 Winter Olympics.

“Our three goaltenders are going to benefit greatly from working with Ryan each day as he has a great understanding and knowledge of what it takes to be a successful student-athlete here at Mercyhurst University.”

An Erie, Pa., native, Zapolski was a standout for the Lakers from 2007 to 2011. He played 109 games in net with a 48-43-11 record, along with a 2.77 GAA and a 9.20 save percentage.

After Mercyhurst, Zapolski spent three seasons in the ECHL before continuing his professional career in Europe for the next eight seasons.

Zapolski made five starts for the United States at the 2018 Olympic Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea. He posted a 2.32 save percentage and a .904 save percentage at the games.

Shane Wagner comes to Hamline with NAHL coaching experience, most recently with the Minot Minotauros (photo: Minot Minotauros).

Shane Wagner was announced Monday as the next Hamline men’s hockey coach.

Wagner takes over for Cory Laylin, who stepped down in August.

The Stillwater, Minn., native spent the previous four seasons with the NAHL’s Minot Minotauros, which included one season as the head coach in 2020-21.

“Shane brings a passion and understanding of not only our men’s hockey program, but also the athletics department and university,” said Hamline assistant athletic director and strength and conditioning coach Chris Hartman in a statement. “Shane’s previous experience as both a coach and administrator prepared him well to lead Hamline men’s hockey now and well into the future.”

Wagner led Minot to 23 victories in his lone season as head coach, which secured them an appearance in the 2020-21 NAHL Robertson Cup Playoffs.

Prior to Minot, Wagner spent one season with the NAHL’s Minnesota Magicians as an assistant coach. He got his coaching start with the Hudson Crusaders of the Minnesota Junior Hockey League (MnJHL), where he served as the head coach from 2012 to 2015. Wagner led the Crusaders to a 70-58-10 overall record over his three-season stint.

Wagner was a four-year member of the Hamline men’s hockey team from 2002 to 2006. The defenseman registered 15 goals and 22 assists for 37 points over 83 career games with the Pipers. The 2003-04 and 2004-05 seasons saw Wagner earn All-MIAC honorable mention. Wagner ranked third on the Pipers in scoring during the 2004-05 season as a defenseman with three goals and 11 assists for 14 points.

Following his collegiate career, Wagner spent six seasons playing professionally with the SPHL’s Jacksonville Barracudas, Twin City Cyclones and Mississippi Surge and ECHL’s South Carolina Stingrays.

“I couldn’t be more excited to get started at Hamline,” said Wagner. “The program has meant a lot to myself and my family, and now I get to be apart of its coaching history.”

A ribbon cutting ceremony to officially open the Ed Robson Arena took place Saturday on the Colorado College campus (photo: Colorado College Athletics).

A project in the making for five years became a reality on Saturday with a ribbon cutting ceremony for Ed Robson Arena and the Mike and Barbara Yalich Student Services Center on the campus of Colorado College.

Former CC hockey player Ed Robson and Barbara Yalich joined Colorado College President L. Song Richardson, Colorado Springs mayor John Suthers and the president of CC’s Board of Trustees Jeff Keller in speaking to selected guests in front of Robson Arena.

Robson Arena will allow the CC hockey team to play its games on campus for the first time in the 83-year history of the program, while the Mike and Barbara Yalich Student Services Center, adjacent to the arena, houses the student wellness center, health services and counseling, the bookstore and mail center, as well as an art studio, café, and restaurant. The new student services center will honor the legacy and contributions of Yalich and her late husband Milo “Mike” Yalich, who captained the 1949-50 Tiger Hockey team to the NCAA national title.

“It is hard to put into words what this means for our campus and community,” Colorado College vice president and director of athletics Lesley Irvine said. “Ed Robson Arena will enhance our ability to compete, however, the opportunity to build community on campus and within the city is beyond exciting. This was a transformational day for Colorado College.”

The state-of-the-art arena maximizes the student-athlete experience and enhance the ability to recruit the best to Colorado College, while educating and training our Tigers to compete for and win conference and national championships. It houses 3,400-plus chair-back seats, locker room, film room, player’s lounge, staff offices, academic success area, sports medicine, and strength and performance center, providing a true home ice advantage for Tiger hockey.

The Ed Robson Arena is also part of the City for Champions project, which is targeted to increase local and state tourism and generously boost local economies. In addition, it will build upon the unique Olympic City USA brand that establishes Colorado Springs’ reputation as a regional sports, health and fitness hub for athletes and fitness enthusiasts.

Augsburg alum May back on campus after being named new men’s hockey coach

By USCHO Staff

September 15, 2021

Greg May, a 2007 Augsburg graduate, has been named the new head coach for the Auggies’ men’s hockey team.

May replaces Chris Brown, who resigned in August after a 15-season tenure at Augsburg to take an associate head coach position at Alaska.

“I am incredibly honored and grateful for the opportunity to be the next head coach at Augsburg University,” May said in a statement. “The school and its hockey program have a lot of meaning to me as an alum. I went there, my wife went there, my brother went there, his wife went there, and a lot of my best friends to this day are guys I played with over those four years. To be the head coach at your alma mater is not something everybody gets to do. I want to thank athletic director Jeff Swenson for this unbelievable opportunity, and I cannot wait to get back on campus and begin to work with our current players and coaches.”

A four-year player with the Auggies from 2003 to 2007, May returns to the school after a successful career as a coach and administrator at both the high school and collegiate levels. Most recently, he had served as the director of athletics and activities at St. Thomas Academy, a private high school in Mendota Heights, Minn.

“We’re excited to have Greg May coming home to Augsburg to lead our men’s hockey program,” Swenson said. “Greg has been part of the great tradition of Augsburg men’s hockey as a player, and we’re excited to have him move us into the future, carrying on the success we’ve had and building on it as our new coach.”

As a player at Augsburg, May earned All-MIAC honorable mention accolades as a forward in his senior year of 2006-07. He played in 100 games in his collegiate career, scoring 22 goals with 24 assists for 46 points. He set career-highs in his senior year with 11 goals and nine assists for 20 points, as part of an Auggies squad that went 12-10-4 and reached the MIAC postseason playoffs.

In his most recent position at St. Thomas Academy, May was in charge of 15 varsity sports and more than 50 activities at the all-male school, where 93 percent of its student body participated in at least one sport or activity. He was in a supervisory role for more than 120 coaches and moderators in athletics and activities.

Prior to going to STA, May had worked for two seasons as director of operations for the men’s hockey program at Minnesota, managing much of the Golden Gophers’ behind-the-scenes operations, including budgets, travel, compliance, recruiting visits, video, scouting, and conference and NCAA contacts, in addition to participating on the Minnesota coaching staff.

From 2016 to 2019, he served as the boys hockey coach and associate athletic director at the Blake School in Hopkins, Minn., where he led the Bears to back-to-back Independent Metro Athletic Conference titles (2017-18, 2018-19). He had a 46-31-3 record during his years there.

From 2014 to 2016, May coached boys hockey at Farmington (Minn.) High School, compiling a 38-18-2 record and leading the Tigers to their first-ever Class AA Minnesota State Hockey Tournament appearance (2015-16). He was named Section 1AA Coach of the Year in the Tigers’ section title season of 2015-16. His Tigers were section runners-up in 2014-15.

May worked as a health and physical education teacher in the Burnsville-Eagan-Savage School District from 2008 to 2016.

In addition, May has served as a lead evaluator for the USA Hockey/Minnesota High Performance program since 2017, and was treasurer of the Minnesota Hockey Coaches Association from 2018 to 2020. He owns his own hockey skill development business, May and Co., and also served as a scout for the USHL’s Chicago Steel from 2014 to 2017.

A native of Burnsville, Minn., May earned his bachelor’s degree in health education and physical education from Augsburg in 2007, and later earned his master’s degree in educational leadership from Concordia (Minn.).

“We are excited to be participating in the Hall of Fame game once again,” added Huskies coach Steve Macdonald. “We have always had great experiences during this event and our players have spoken highly about the opportunity. We look forward to putting on a great show with the Gophers.

“All of us with SCSU women’s hockey are passionate about helping grow the game for the next generation. As stewards of the game, we are always looking for opportunities to create exposure at all levels locally, nationally, and even internationally. The U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame Museum game is a great opportunity for us to continue to play a role in promoting the women’s game, and we are honored to be able to be a part of it.”

It’s a tradition at these Hall of Fame games to introduce the inductees who are in attendance. This year’s event will feature Gophers assistant coach Natalie Darwitz, who has been inducted into the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame.

“It will be a particularly special night having Natalie back behind the bench and coaching in the Hall of Fame Game, knowing that she is a member of that elite group,” said Frost.

Tickets are available at www.gophersports.com, by calling 1-800-U-GOPHER, or by emailing [email protected].
