Former University of Denver hockey coach George Gwozdecky is the only person to coach in the NHL's Stanley Cup Final after becoming the first to win NCAA championships as a player, assistant coach and head coach. Now, he's seeking hockey's Holy Grail at the prep level in Colorado — and beyond.
Gwozdecky, who resigned as a Tampa Bay Lightning assistant coach in June, has been named head hockey coach at Valor Christian High School in Highlands Ranch, athletic director Jamie Heiner announced Friday.
"He is truly about something bigger than the sport and we are absolutely thrilled to have him join our team," Heiner said of Gwozdecky in a statement.
