For episode #15 we have in the penalty box with Coach Frenchy Podcast show, the head coach of the WVU  Shane Buckley.... Here some info about Shane and the hockey program WVU...

Bio/Story
Born and raised in Northern Ontario and grew up as a goalie. Played all minor hockey with the local hockey association in a small town, and played two years of Tier 2 Jr. A in Ontario for the Espanola Kings and the Elliot Lake Bobcats.

 After my junior career, I played at the NCAA D3 level at Northland College, where I played baseball in addition to hockey. I was a career backup goalie while I was there and learned a lot about what it meant to be a good teammate when things weren’t going your way individually – I think it helped me transition into the next step of my hockey career of coaching.

 After I graduated from Northland in 2013, I began to work as a teacher, while also coaching High School hockey in Wisconsin. After 5 years of teaching and coaching high school hockey, I moved to West Virginia and began working with WVU’s ACHA teams as a volunteer assistant while also working as a teacher.

 After one year as a volunteer assistant, I accepted the role of Head Coach with the D1 ACHA program at WVU, where I just completed my first year.

 Credentials/Past Positions

 Instructor – Revolutionary Hockey Program (Owned and operated by Scott Murray, current Washington Capitals goalie coach)

Coach – Chequamegon/Phillips High School (one as assistant, one as head)

Asst. Coach – Ashland High School (3 years)

Volunteer Asst. – West Virginia University ACHA D1 and D2

Head Coach – West Virginia University ACHA D1

 Also have worked as a baseball coach all the way from Middle School (Babe Ruth/Pony League), to High School and College baseball.

 WVU Hockey as a Program
The transition coming into this year was primarily about adding more structure throughout the entire program at both the D1 and D2 levels and implementing things like a workout program, study tables, etc.

 Navigating through these changes with a group of guys who want to win has been fantastic so far. There’s always going to be things to tweak and change, but I know both programs saw big improvements on the ice this year as well. It’s definitely a work in progress and we’re not quite where we want to be yet, but we definitely have seen big improvements over the course of our first year, marked with a trip to playoffs by our D2 team.

 We’re primarily player funded, as a lot of ACHA programs are, and we’re fortunate to have a lot of incredible people behind the scenes helping this program, often times for little to no money to make sure everyone has a positive experience.

 We also added an ACHA women’s team under our umbrella as well heading into this coming season – they finished their inaugural year this past season, and we’re excited to have them join Mountaineer Hockey with us!
