He then went on to Penn State University and played D-III club hockey and was a 2005 College Hockey East All-Star. Coach Dave began his coaching career in 2012 as the South Park junior varsity head coach and an assistant coach with the varsity team and remained with the school for two seasons. In 2014, he went to Peters Township where he was an assistant coach with the varsity B team. In 2015, Coach Dave moved to the Pittsburgh Predators and was an assistant coach with the U16 AA team and became the head coach in 2016. In 2018, he came to Upper St Clair Hockey and was an assistant coach with the varsity team. He then became the junior varsity head coach in 2019 and has held this role through this past season. He is now taking on the position of varsity head coach and plans to lead the team to a AAA Penguins Cup. We are excited to welcome Coach Dave to his new position and look forward to a new era of USC hockey.

Coach Mike took a few years off after having kids and then began coaching his son’s amateur teams as the head coach. He was involved in this capacity for many years with teams ranging from Mite B all the way up through U18 AA. After his last son graduated from USC and went off to college, Coach Mike was an assistant coach for the USC varsity team as well as the head coach for the Pittsburgh Predators U18 AA team. We are thrilled to have Mike return in this capacity with the varsity team.
