Coaching Staff Changes

During the summer months, the Nichols Hockey program has gone through some changes in its coaching staff. While Jamie Printz and Scott Hurd remain with the Prep team, Nichols is excited to announce the addition of two coaches to the Prep and some re-organization to the Fed. Wayne Clarke, an RPI graduate and Toronto Maple Leafs draft pick, has agreed to return to the Prep team on a limited basis, and Adam Bellows, a Nichols alum and Clarkson graduate, will also lend his services to the squad. Adam Holler will be taking over as head coach of the Federation team, and Darcy Brewer will be his assistant coach.
