Former Manchester Monarchs assistant coach played for the LA Kings and won a national title at BC.
DURHAM, N.H. – The University of New Hampshire men's ice hockey program has named Jeff Giuliano as an assistant coach as announced by head coach Mike Souza on Tuesday. A native of Nashua, N.H. and a New Hampshire Legends of Hockey Hall of Famer, Giuliano spent the last three seasons as an assistant coach of the Manchester Monarchs, after a 13-year professional hockey career which included playing for the Los Angles Kings. Giuliano also had a successful collegiate career at Boston College, where he was a member of the 2001 national championship team and captained the Eagles as a senior in 2001-02.
"I could not be happier to bring Jeff Giuliano to our program," said Souza. "Jeff brings a wealth of experience and knowledge of the game. He was a player at multiple levels from the ECHL all the way up to the NHL as his network from his time spent as a professional player will lend itself to a lot of opportunities recruiting. Everyone says that they have never met someone who works as hard as him. He will have instant credibility with all of our players. He is a New Hampshire guy and embodies blue collar spirit in a professional manner."
"I am very excited to be joining such a prestigious university and hockey program that has such great tradition," said Giuliano. "I want to thank Athletic Director Marty Scarano and Coach Souza and his staff for the opportunity to join an illustrious program. I look forward to working with our young athletes and helping them develop as individuals on and off the ice. I am excited for the start of the season and to continue the proud tradition of UNH Athletics."
"I could not imagine a better hockey person than Jeff Giuliano to add to the Wildcat family," said former UNH standout Derek Bekar '99 who was a teammate of Giuliano's at the Manchester Monarchs. "Jeff is one of the best. His work ethic on and off the ice has not changed since becoming a coach and he will be extremely well liked and respected by current and future Wildcat players. Jeff was one of the most well-liked teammates I have ever played with and I have no doubt he will bring success to the UNH program."
