Augustana has announced the addition of Taylor Nelson to the men’s hockey coaching staff.<\/p>\n

Nelson joins the first-year Vikings after spending the past two seasons at UMass Lowell.<\/p>\n

“We couldn’t be more thrilled to welcome Taylor, his wife Claire, and three young children back to the Midwest,” Augustana head coach Garrett Raboin said in a statement. “He has a tremendous reputation as a player, recruiter and developer of talent. His commitment to team, family, and excitement to build make him a tremendous addition to our men’s hockey program.”<\/p>\n

Prior to UMass Lowell, Nelson spent four seasons at Canisius serving as the recruiting coordinator. He also saw responsibility for the penalty kill and goaltender development.<\/p>\n

A graduate of Ferris State, Nelson was the goaltender for the Bulldogs while helping them to the Frozen Four in 2012 as a senior. He garnered AHCA\/CCM All-America First Team honors for the season in which he held a 21-7-3 record, a 2.10 GAA, .924 save percentage and three shutouts.<\/p>\n

Following his graduation, he played in 73 professional games, spending time with the ECHL’s San Francisco Bulls and the CHL’s Wichita Thunder.<\/p>\n

He then began his coaching career as a volunteer assistant at Ferris State where he helped with video preparation, goaltending, and scouting reports.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
