The Cedar Rapids RoughRiders are excited to announce the hiring of Brooks DiMarino as the new goalie coach for the RoughRiders USHL team. Brooks will also lead the goaltending efforts of the youth RoughRiders Hockey Club.
A New Jersey native, Brooks spent last season with the Robertson Cup Champion Lone Star Brahmas of the NAHL.

He is very passionate about the game of hockey, especially the goaltending position. He loves to teach, scout, and is driven to impact all areas of the RoughRiders program. He will make a difference on and off the ice on a daily basis," said GM Mark Carlson when announcing the hire.
"Brooks is a great addition to our club. He brings a knowledge and passion for the goaltending position that will help our goalies continue to thrive," stated RoughRiders Executive Youth Hockey Director Dustin Timm.
"I am incredibly honored and excited to be joining the Cedar Rapids RoughRiders organization and to work with Head Coach and GM Mark Carlson, along with his staff and the rest of the RoughRiders organization. I am very excited to begin working with the goalies, helping them grow in their development. I look forward to helping the team on its journey to achieving a very successful upcoming season," stated DiMarino upon his hiring.
