He was also an assistant coach with the Gladiators for the 2013-14 season and into the 2014-15 season before being promoted.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My family and I are excited and honored to have the opportunity to join such a prestigious program,&#8221; Brandt said in a statement. &#8220;I was thrilled when the opportunity arose to coach at the collegiate level with St. Norbert and I&#8217;m eager to jump in and get started.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The program has been extremely successful for a long time, but what intrigued me the most was the chance to work alongside [SNC head coach] Tim [Coghlin] and to help the program further develop student-athletes. The commitment to both academia and athletics is important and is something I have personally experienced as a collegiate athlete at the University of Wisconsin. I understand firsthand that athletic success cannot be achieved without academic success.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Plus, when you add in the fact that we get to move our family back home to Wisconsin, the decision was a no-brainer.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Brandt spent seven seasons as a professional player, mostly with the then-Gwinnett Gladiators. He appeared in a team-record 357 games, scoring 76 goals and adding 116 assists for 192 points. Brandt was an assistant captain from 2007 to 2012 before serving as the team captain in 2012-13. Brandt also played in the AHL for the Lake Erie Monsters, Manitoba Moose and Abbotsford Heat, while also playing in the ECHL for the Victoria Salmon Kings.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Andy brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to St. Norbert College,&#8221; Coghlin added. &#8220;He experienced Division I hockey at its highest level with the national championship at Wisconsin, and most recently completed his time as a player and coach in the ECHL. He has a clear understanding of player development and how to reach the next level.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Brandt played four seasons and appeared in 130 games at Wisconsin from 2003-04 to 2006-07, highlighted with the Badgers&#8217; NCAA championship in 2006. He was twice named the team&#8217;s Seventh Man Award recipient.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>St. Norbert has named Andy Brandt its associate head coach.
