Arizona State announced Thursday that veteran NHL defenseman Garnet Exelby will be added to the staff as the strength and conditioning coach for the 2016-17 season.<\/p>\n
“We could not be more excited to have a world class hockey specific strength coach on our staff,” said Sun Devils coach Greg Powers in a statement. “Garnet has over 400 games played as a defenseman in the NHL, and when you combine his NHL experience with what we already have on our staff, we have officially comprised a staff of coaches that absolutely knows what it takes to send our student-athletes to the next level. Garnet’s passion and commitment to off-ice and on-ice conditioning will not only strengthen our vision for Sun Devil hockey, but it will accelerate it as well.”<\/p>\n
Exelby played over 400 games in both the NHL and the American Hockey League, winning a Calder Cup in 2002 with the Chicago Wolves. He was named to the AHL All-Star team in 2003 and dubbed an NHL Young Star in 2004. He was drafted by the Atlanta Thrashers in the eighth round of the 1999 NHL Draft.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
