FAU alum named assistant coach of hockey club

The FAU Hockey Club has announced that they will be adding Erik Kirtman as their defensively-focused assistant coach.

Kirtman played defense for FAU from 2002-2005, including their first-ever season in the American College Hockey Association in 2002.

“It was such a good experience,” Kirtman said, reflecting on his time at FAU. “Not only with the school, but just being on the college scene and traveling with the guys and all that. I saw how much joy my coach got out of it, and I am looking forward to making some new experiences with the guys.”

He started his coaching career in 2016 at North Broward Preparatory School, where he coached middle school students for two years.
