Hard-working assistant coach Chris MacKenzie is leaving UMass Lowell to take the job as head coach of the women's hockey team at Niagara University. Niagara announced MacKenzie's hiring today.
MacKenzie is a Niagara alumnus who played for current UML coach Blaise MacDonald at Niagara. MacDonald brought MacKenzie with him when he took the UML job eight years ago. A tireless worker, MacKenzie performed a multitude of tasks for the River Hawks. In addition to recruiting duties, he also worked on instructional videos and was involved in community endeavors.
MacDonald will begin searching immediately for MacKenzie's replacement. Former NHL star Shawn McEachern remains on MacDonald's staff.
