08-09 Means New Assistant Coaches

Since I last posted, Julie Chu and Caroline Ouellette have both moved on from their UMD Assistant Coaching jobs, and NOT for any bad reasons. Both have moved on to prepare for the Vancouver 2010 Olympics. With the chance that it could be the last Olympics for both players it makes sense that they would concentrate on the preparation for Vancouver.

Chu's replacement is now former Northeastern University Women's Hockey coach Laura Schuler, who Shannon Miller coached for Team Canada in the 1998 Olympics Ouellette's position was just announced Monday the 19th and posted on NCAA.ORG.

Obviously this won't be the last Chu and Oullette are heard of as hockey coaches, and maybe after the Olympic season one or both will find their way behind a hockey bench somewhere.
