Trinity assistant men’s hockey coach C.J. Eick has left the Bantams after one season to take a similar position with the USHL’s Waterloo Black Hawks.
“Throughout the process of assessing candidates, it was evident that C.J. has a tremendous ability to communicate, is extremely personable and genuine, has vast playing experience and hockey knowledge, and is passionate and driven,” said Black Hawks head coach Matt Smaby in a statement. “We think C.J.’s going to be a great addition to our organization and someone that will be a wonderful resource for all of our players.”
During a four-season stint at Michigan Tech from 2012 to 2016, Eick helped the Huskies to the 2015 NCAA tournament and scored a goal in the Huskies’ regional overtime loss to St. Cloud State. Overall, he played in 145 college games, recording 14 goals and 38 assists.
Eick graduated from MTU with a bachelor’s degree in sports and fitness management.
