The University of North Dakota has a new assistant hockey coach. True the form, Brad Schlossman was the first to break this story. There will be some that won’t like the move because Shaw isn’t from the “UND family”. I think it’s a great move, coach Shaw brings a wide variety of coaching experience to the UND coaching staff.
GRAND FORKS, N.D. – University of North Dakota head men’s hockey coach Brad Berry rounded out his coaching staff today by announcing the hiring of assistant coach Matt Shaw.
Shaw, who will work primarily with UND’s defensemen and the power play, boasts more than 20 years of coaching experience at a variety of levels, including stints with three different National Hockey League franchises.
“We are extremely pleased to have Matt join our staff at North Dakota,” said Berry. “His vast coaching experience throughout professional, college and junior hockey will greatly benefit our players and our program. His coaching success throughout his career is due to his attention to detail, work ethic, and great knowledge of the game. Matt’s communication skills and ability to develop young players make him a perfect fit for our family here at UND.”
Shaw comes to Grand Forks after having spent the past two seasons as head coach and general manager of the United States Hockey League’s (USHL) Dubuque Fighting Saints, with whom he amassed a two-year record of 69-42-0-9 (.613).
