Cronin
Retains Reilly as NU Assistant
Assistant
men's hockey coach Gene Reilly has been retained as part of the
staff at Northeastern for the upcoming season, newly hired head
coach Greg Cronin announced on Thursday. The 2004-05 season was
Reilly's first at Northeastern after a season at Harvard and two
seasons coaching in the Ottawa Senators organization in the AHL.
"Gene
Reilly is a dynamic individual who is capable of performing several
important roles within the program," said Cronin. "He
is a proven recruiter and his knowledge of the game is outstanding
as evident in his contributions to a national championship at
the University of Maine in 1999. Finally, his history as a coach
in the American Hockey League is an attractive feature for prospective
college hockey players."
Before coming
to NU, Reilly helped coach Harvard to the 2003-04 ECAC tournament
title and an NCAA Tournament berth. From 2001-03, Reilly coached
Ottawa Senators AHL affiliates Grand Rapids and Binghamton. Prior
to his work in the professional ranks, Reilly was an assistant
coach at Maine for three seasons, helping the Black Bears to the
national championship in 1999. Reilly began his coaching career
in his native Springfield, Mass. in the Eastern Junior Hockey
League, where he had a record of 326-100-34 (276-79-31 as head
coach) from 1988-98.
