Son of legendary UMaine hockey coach lands head coaching job at Division III school
Tyler Walsh, son of legendary University of Maine hockey coach Shawn Walsh, has been named the new head coach of Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter, Minnesota.
The 33-year-old Walsh, who spent the past six seasons as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at Colby College in Waterville, replaces Brett Petersen.
Petersen stepped down after 24 seasons and will become the NCAA Division III school's director of club sports and a member of the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference.
Walsh began his coaching career at the University of Maine, where he spent three seasons as a student assistant coach and video coordinator under Tim Whitehead from 2010-2013.
He spent the 2013-2014 season as director of hockey operations at Canisius University in Buffalo, NY; two years as an assistant coach and intern for the United States National Team Development Programs junior team and two years as head coach at North Yarmouth Academy before landing the job at Colby College, where he worked under former UMass Lowell and Niagara University head coach Blaise McDonald.
His father led UMaine to two NCAA championships and 399 wins in his 17 seasons at UMaine before succumbing to renal cell carcinoma on September 24, 2001. He has been inducted into the University of Maine Sports Hall of Fame.
His grandfather was the late Ron Mason, who had 924 wins in 36 seasons at Lake Superior State, Bowling Green and Michigan State University and is in the United States Hockey Hall of Fame.
Tyler impressed the search committee, our administrators and our coaches in many ways during the interview process, but his leadership qualities, high motivation and work ethic really stood out, Gustavus Adolphus athletic director Tom Brown said in a news release.
As an emerging head coach, Tyler is charismatic, collaborative and has a strong family coaching history, with his father and grandfather having great success as hockey coaches.
We are excited to have Tyler leading our program into a new era of Gustavus men's hockey, Brown added.
Walsh said it was humbling for him to know he will be filling the shoes of former great coaches like Brett Petersen and Don Roberts.
Our coaching staff will place an emphasis on player development so we can play an exciting brand of hockey, said Walsh, a 2013 UMaine graduate who earned a master's degree from Waterville's Thomas College last year.
He thanked Brown and everyone involved in the selection process for entrusting me with the opportunity to develop our players into community leaders and student-athletes both on and off the ice.
Gustavus Adolphus was 11-12-2, 6-9-1 in the MIAC this past season.
The Golden Gusties made three NCAA Division III tournament appearances under Petersen and were national runner-up in 2009.
