Maine Hockey Hires New Hockey Directory and Varsity Coach
The Maine High School Hockey Association's Board of Directors is pleased to
announce the appointment of Mike Tompkins as the program's new Hockey Director
and Varsity team coach effective immediately.
Mike Tompkins (Coach T) is a well known figure in the Illinois hockey
community. Mike brings more than 20 years of coaching experience at the high
school, AAA, AA and house levels. Mike's teams have won Illinois state
championships, Silver Sticks regional championships and the NIHL President's
Cup. Mike also has experience as a hockey school instructor and as a hockey
scout at the Junior B level.
Coach T played hockey at the Junior A level and at the ACHL level. An injury
ended his career as a player on the ice but did not end his love of hockey. He
began coaching youth hockey when his playing days ended.
The Board of Maine hockey is excited about what Mike will bring to this
program. Mike is passionate about hockey and that passion comes through when he
is coaching youth hockey. Mike is committed to his role as a hockey coach and
will bring a level of development, passion and discipline to the Maine hockey
program that each of our high school hockey student athletes will benefit from.
As details of the hockey program for the 2010-2011 season develop, we will
share them with you via email and the program's website.
We will be hosting a "meet and greet the coach" with Coach T at Iceland and
will forward details to you soon.
