Union picks new women's hockey coach – Albany Times Union
Union College named Josh Sciba the head women’s ice hockey coach on Friday.
Sciba was an assistant coach for the Colgate University women’s ice hockey team from 2012-2016 and a 2007 graduate of the University of Notre Dame.
“Josh Sciba’s experience as a student-athlete at Notre Dame and a coach at Colgate provide an excellent blend of academic, athletic and coaching attributes that will benefit us from our next head women’s ice hockey coach,” Union Director of Athletics Jim McLaughlin said. “He impressed the committee with his interest and due dilligence in what he will do for our program. We have excellent student-athletes in our women’s ice hockey program and we believe Josh is a perfect fit and the right person to build Union women’s ice hockey into prominence in ECAC Hockey and nationally.”
Sciba becomes the fourth head coach in Union women’s ice hockey history.
“Being a head coach has always been a goal throughout my entire career and I couldn’t be more excited to be the new leader of this hockey program,” Sciba said. “This is going to be a fun process that we’re going to take a day at a time. Our staff is going to inject some new life, a new attitude, and create an environment that is full of passion and energy. We’re going to get to work right away.”
