Green Bay Gamblers News Release
Green Bay (Sept. 11, 2014) - The Green Bay Gamblers are pleased to announce Lenny Hofmann has been named to the team's coaching staff as the Director of Scouting. Hofmann replaces Brian Sommeriva, who accepted a position with the Toronto Maple Leafs.
"I am very excited to add Lenny to the staff," said Head Coach and General Manager Pat Mikesch. "His experience in scouting and knowledge of our league makes him a natural fit for this position."
Hofmann has roots in the USHL as he played for the Dubuque Fighting Saints during the 1999-2000 season before embarking on his collegiate career. He also spent the last three seasons in the league as assistant coach with the Tri-City Storm. In addition to his coaching duties, he was the team's director of recruiting helping to develop a number of Storm players.
The Minnesota native played college hockey at St. Mary's University of Minnesota (2000-04) and was an all-conference selection during his senior year at the Division III school. He began his coaching career at St. Mary's upon graduation and spent four more years with the program before joining the coaching staff at the College of St. Scholastica in Duluth, Minnesota in 2008. Hofmann helped the program compile a 20-7-5 record in conference play over two seasons (2008-10).
