ECU Names Director of Hockey Operations
Wayne Cox Becomes First to Assume New Role4/28/07
GREENVILLE, NC - With the 2007-2008 season fast approaching the ECU Ice Hockey Club is proud to announce the appointing of Wayne Cox as Director of Hockey Operations. Cox becomes the first person to be named to this position as ECU looks to further strengthen the program administratively.
Wayne was named Head Coach in early 2005 and helped establish ECU Ice Hockey as one of the top programs in the South Region as he compiled an overall record of 30-14-0-1 in the club's first two seasons. Cox led the Pirates to a top 10 ranking in all but one of the 10 ranking periods in the past two years, which included an invitation to the South Regional Tournament in 2007. He also coached the Pirates to a second place finish in the BRHC Tournament in his 2006 and a BRHC Regular Season Championship in 2007.
The Nova Scotia native will step down as Head Coach, to spend more time coaching his son Logan, but will remain a critical member of the coaching staff. Cox will help to strengthen the recruiting process as well as promote the team throughout the community. His vast knowledge of the sport of hockey and dedication to ECU made him a perfect candidate, and the club is excited to have him in his new role as the Pirates look to make a serious run at the ACHA DIII National Tournament.
