DURHAM, N.H. – The University of New Hampshire men's ice hockey program has named 2001 UNH graduate Ty Conklin as the team's volunteer assistant coach/goaltending development as announced by head coach Mike Souza. A senior captain of the Wildcats, Conklin was a two-time All-American and two-time Hobey Baker Award finalist. Conklin played in nine NHL seasons and 215 career games. He most recently served as the Goaltending Development Coach for the St. Louis Blues for four seasons.
"Ty is the most successful goalie in program history and we are lucky to have him as our goaltending development coach," said Souza "He brings playing, coaching and goaltender development experience from his time in the NHL which will be a tremendous asset to our program. I'm very excited for our goaltenders to have someone that has excelled at the highest level to mentor them."
Conklin had a stellar career as a Wildcat recording a 57-23-12 record. He is the career record holder in goals against average with a 2.18. In 1998-1999, Conklin posted a program-record 1.84 goals against average and tallied a 18-3-1 record as the Wildcats advanced to the NCAA Tournament championship game. He was named an All-American in 2000 and 2001 and was the Hockey East Co-Player of the Year in 2000. The two-time Hobey Baker Award Finalist (2000 & 2001) and the 2001 Co-Winner of the Walter Brown Award, Conklin is a 2008 inductee into the UNH Athletics Hall of Fame.
After his career at UNH, Conklin went onto play in nine NHL seasons posting a 96-67-1 record with 17 shutouts over 215 games. He played 60 games with the Edmonton Oilers recording a 27-19-5 mark with a .905 save percentage and a 2.49 goals against average. He also had stints playing with Columbus, Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Detroit and St. Louis. At Pittsburgh in 2007-2008, he set the franchise record with a .923 save percentage as he went 18-8-5.
Conklin has also represented the United States and was named the top goaltender of the 2004 Men's World Championship as the team won the bronze medal.
