Northeastern names new hockey coach

Northeastern alumnus and three-time Beanpot champion Jim Madigan has been named Northeastern men’s ice hockey head coach, Director of Athletics Peter Roby announced on Monday. Madigan, the 10th coach in program history, brings more than 26 years of college and professional hockey experience to his new post on Huntington Avenue. He played for the Huskies from 1981 to 1985 and was an assistant coach at the university from 1986 to 1993. He has served as a professional scout for the New York Islanders and Pittsburgh Penguins since 1993, winning a Stanley Cup in 2009. “Today begins a new and exciting era of Northeastern hockey, an era that accelerates our progress and builds on our recent success,” Roby said.” Jim played a prominent role in one of our program’s most illustrious decades. More importantly, though, Jim has shown a great ability to identify talent and is committed to developing players on the ice, in the classroom and in the community. His energy and enthusiasm, along with his commitment to Northeastern values, made him the obvious choice.” As a professional hockey scout, Madigan has demonstrated great skill in identifying and evaluating talent in a thorough and insightful manner. He has served as a scout for the Pittsburgh Penguins since 2006, helping that franchise build a team that advanced to the Stanley Cup finals in consecutive seasons (2008 and 2009) and that captured the Cup in 2009. He played a key role in identifying two Huskies who have excelled in the Penguins organization — Brad Thiessen and Joe Vitale. This season, Vitale spent time on the Pens’ NHL roster and Thiessen was named the AHL’s most outstanding goaltender. Prior to his tenure with the Penguins, Madigan served as a scout for the New York Islanders for 13 years. During his time in hockey, Madigan has worked alongside some of the great innovators of the game, from Ferny Flaman (Northeastern head coach from 1970 to 1989) to notable NHL executives, including general managers Ray Shero (Pittsburgh), Don Maloney (Phoenix), Chuck Fletcher (Minnesota), Randy Sexton (Florida), Mike Milbury (New York Islanders), plus Gordie Clark (director of player personnel, New York Rangers) and Jay Heinbuck (Northeastern alumnus and director of amateur scouting, Pittsburgh). Northeastern fans also will remember Madigan’s tenure as an assistant coach for the Huskies from 1986 to 1993.
