From Trinity Director of Athletics, Mr. Rob Saxton H'15
Head Coach, Trinity Ice Hockey, Jeff Smith will step back to an Assistant Coach role as he accepts a promotion in his career work away from Trinity. In his time as Head Coach, Jeff has done a fine job developing a team culture and an enthusiasm for the sport among the ice hockey student-athletes. His love for the game is evident and his care and concern for the young men on the team roster is clear to all. We are glad he will remain with the Ice Rocks and wish Jeff continued success in his day job.
With Coach Smith stepping back, we welcome Braden Zehner as the new Head Coach for Trinity Ice Hockey!
A native of Wisconsin, Braden is a life-long Ice Hockey zealot… having played high school, junior and collegiate hockey. He was named to the Wisconsin All State Hockey team as selected by the Wisconsin Hockey Coaches Association. His ice hockey coaching career includes camp, clinic and league coaching duties in Madison, Wisconsin and in Louisville. Braden oversees the Learn to Play hockey program and the Summer Hockey Company, programs based at Iceland, designed to teach ice hockey skills and fundamentals to youth across all of Metro Louisville. Braden holds an MBA from the University of Louisville and serves as a Project Sales Engineer for DeBra-Kuempel Inc. He and his wife Ashley are blessed with three children- Carter, 13; Annlee, 5; Pieter, 1.
Please join me in wishing both Jeff and Braden the very best in these new endeavors.
