The New Hampshire Junior Monarchs are thrilled to name Jim Gaudet, a Junior Monarchs Alum, our new Youth Hockey Director
Jim brings a wealth of hockey knowledge to our Youth Program. Jim spent the last two seasons with the Boston Bandits organization. This past season, he was Head Coach of the NCDC team and the U16 team. Prior to that, he was an Assistant Coach on their NCDC team. He was also Head Strength and Conditioning Coach, as well as a Skills Instructor for the Bandits. As Skills Instructor, Jim coached private, small group, and team training sessions as well as spring and summer camps. Over the past two seasons Jim has helped 21 Student-Athletes move on to NCAA Hockey.
Prior to his time with the Bandits, Jim coached five seasons of ACHA College Hockey for the University of Maryland and the United States Naval Academy. While in Maryland, Jim also worked as a Head Skating and Skills Instructor and Director of Hockey Operations at First Line Training Center- a 30,000 sq. ft. hockey training facility where he conducted private lessons and small group training sessions for players ages 4-21.
Jim’s playing experience includes four seasons at Dartmouth College where he served as an Assistant Captain his senior season. He was also a four year member of the New Hampshire Jr. Monarchs organization prior to attending Dartmouth. He played two seasons for the U18 Team and two seasons for the EJHL Junior Team and was lucky enough to be a member of two U18 New England Regional Championship Teams and two Junior National Championship Teams with the Monarchs organization.
Jim will have many duties as Hockey Director, including the Director of Skills and Player Development. In this role he will direct and oversee our On Ice Skills Program. He will also act as Coaching Director. In this role he conduct regular meetings with our coaches, he will work side by side with coaches during team practices and will regularly observe youth games, allowing him to collaborate with the coaches to help them provide the best player experience possible. We are very excited to provide Jim’s expertise to our players, coaches and families.
