Green Bay Gamblers News Release
Green Bay (May 29, 2012) - On the heels of winning the Clark Cup Championship, the Green Bay Gamblers have promoted assistant coach Pat Mikesch to associate head coach. Prior to his one season with the Gamblers, Mikesch was an assistant coach at his alma mater, Michigan Tech University, for seven seasons. He was also an assistant coach for the United States Under 17 team that captured the gold medal at the 2011 Five Nations Cup in Ann Arbor, Michigan and has served in a head coaching capacity at various USA Select camps and festivals.
"The timing is fitting to promote Pat to associate head coach after winning the Clark Cup," said Gamblers head coach Derek Lalonde. "I know Pat will be a head coach in the future, but for now, his coaching and scouting experience will be very important to our future."
Mikesch played an integral role in the team's futures and USHL entry drafts the past few weeks and will continue to head up player personnel for the Gamblers. He will also continue to lead special teams and assist with other coaching duties as needed.
The Gamblers recently named David Carle as the teams' newest assistant coach. His responsibilities will include game analysis, video breakdown, recruiting and working with the team's defensemen.
