Michigan Tech has hired former Wisconsin assistant coach Gary Shuchuk to fill a similar position with the Huskies.<\/p>\n

Shuchuk comes to MTU after a five-year stint (2010-15) with the Badgers. He was fired in April<\/a> along with fellow assistant coach Matt Walsh.<\/p>\n

“I’m extremely excited to announce the addition of Gary to our coaching staff,” said Huskies head coach Mel Pearson in a statement. “He’s very well-known and respected in the hockey community, and is very accomplished in the sport as both a coach and player. Gary is a passionate teacher of the game and has a proven track record of developing athletes. His vast network of contacts will be a tremendous asset and allow him to help attract high-end student-athletes to Michigan Tech.”<\/p>\n

A four-year letter-winner (1986-90) with the Badgers, helping Wisconsin to the 1990 NCAA title while earning First-Team All-America and WCHA Player of the Year honors, Shuchuk also enjoyed a 14-year professional career that was highlighted by stops with the Detroit Red Wings and Los Angeles Kings.<\/p>\n

While with the Kings, Shuchuk played in the 1993 Stanley Cup final and also helped the AHL’s Adirondack Red Wings to a Calder Cup championship (1992), earned a DEL title while playing in Germany (2003), and was named team MVP of the AHL’s Springfield Falcons in 2004 while also serving as an assistant coach.<\/p>\n

Shuchuk and his wife, Michelle, have three children who all play NCAA hockey – Alex (Wisconsin men’s team), Maki (Norwich women’s team) and Kat (Middlebury women’s team).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
