Trenton Devils News Release


TRENTON, NJ (December 5, 2005) - The Trenton Titans announced on Monday that Doug McKay has been let go from the organization and assistant coach Tony MacAulay has been promoted to Head Coach/Director of Hockey Operations.

MacAulay, 33, becomes the seventh head coach for the Trenton Titans since the team's inception in 1999. MacAulay was hired on May 18 to be the head coach of the Texas Wildcatters, but was offered the assistant coach position with Trenton after Texas was forced to suspend operations this season due to Hurricane Rita.

MacAulay spent 2004-05 as an assistant with Toledo, helping lead the Storm to the postseason with a record of 41-26-5. Prior to joining the Storm, MacAulay led the now-defunct Roanoke Express to back-to-back playoff berths. Named head coach of the Express midway through the 2002-03 season MacAulay closed out the year with a 15-7-3 record. The following season, MacAulay led Roanoke to a second-place finish in the Southern Division with a record of 38-26-8.

A defenseman, MacAulay began his professional career in the ECHL with Hampton Roads in 1994-95 scoring seven points (1g-6a) in 57 regular season games. Following one season of play in Sweden, MacAulay served as assistant coach/assistant general manager for a Canadian junior team and at St. Mary's University in his hometown of Halifax, Nova Scotia.

In 1997, MacAulay was named head coach at DeMatha Catholic High School, located outside of Washington, D.C. MacAulay won four state titles and advanced to the state championship game in each of his five seasons at DeMatha and is the winningest coach in school history with a 134-55-10 record. In his final season in 2002, the Washington Post named MacAulay Coach of the Year.
