Alec ThiedaNCSA's Ice Hockey Recruiting Coach
I played three years of junior hockey (NAHL and CCHL) before I was presented an opportunity to play for Norwich University, an NCAA Division III school in Northfield, Vermont. There I became a four-year student-athlete, a captain my senior year, an AHCA 2nd Team All-American, and a Joe Concannon award finalist (best American-born player in New England). After my time playing at Norwich, I was asked to become a part of the coaching staff. I was an assistant coach specializing in player development and breaking down game and opponent scouting video. I was the bench coach leading the game-day operations. To top off my coaching career thus far, I helped lead Norwich to a 2017 NCAA Division III National Championship. Academically, I received an MBA with a concentration in Organizational Leadership and B.S. in Management with a Concentration in Information Technology and Financial Economics from Norwich University.
