P R Hockey Team Names New Head Coach

The Pine-Richland Hockey Team has a new head coach today. On May 20, the team approved Matthew Richert to lead the Pine-Richland Hockey Rams.

This will be Richert’s third year with the team. Richert has coached more than 20 teams ranging from amateur to NCAA Division I over his nine-year coaching career. Previously, he was head JV coach and most recently assistant varsity coach for the Pine-Richland Rams.

Richert holds a master level coaching certificate from USA Hockey. When he earned that certificate, he was the youngest person to hold that certificate in the US.

“I’m extremely excited and looking forward to bringing another state championship to the district,” Richert said.

Richert will be working to finalize his coaching staff soon.
