Jay Nolan

ASSOCIATE COACH

I've been coaching youth hockey since 2012, but have been involved in youth hockey, at some capacity, for most of my life. I've coached the Micron through Bantam levels to date; ranging from 6U House, to boys Peewee AAA, and various girls tier 1 and tier 2 teams in-between. I am going into my 7th season coaching in the Amherst Youth Hockey Organization, with stops at the NJPE program, and a couple years as a skating skills & hockey skills coach for the Buffalo Sabres' Hasek's Heroes program, prior to joining AYH.

 

Prior to coaching, my playing career included a couple WNY youth hockey organizations, 2 years at Shattuck-St. Mary's Prep, 2 years of USHL Junior A, and 3 seasons of NCAA D-III at SUNY Cortland. Various Select Teams, including Boston & Chicago Showcases representing WNY, in addition to Empire State (West Region), and US Development Camp invites. Playing Accolades include 2x State Finalist; 1x National Semi-Finalist; 2x ECAC D-III Rookie of Week nominee
