USA Hockey's National Team Development Program sure loves its New Englanders behind the bench.
The program announced Wednesday that Greg Moore (Lisbon, Maine) has been tapped as head coach of the NTDP and will be in charge of the U17 team in 2023-24.
Moore replaces Dan Muse (Canton, Mass.), who was recently hired as an assistant coach with the NHL's New York Rangers.
Moore, who played for the NTDP from 2000-02 before a standout career at the University of Maine, spent the last three seasons as the head coach of the AHL's Toronto Marlies. From 2018-20, he ran the bench for the USHL's Chicago Steel.
Prior to his time with the Steel, he was an assistant coach with the NTDP from 2015-18.
"It's a privilege and an honor to be named a head coach at the National Team Development Program," Moore said. "I'm thankful to be able to continue the tremendous coaching tradition at the NTDP and I can't wait to get started with the extremely talented group of incoming U17 players."
Some of those incoming U17 players will be from his home region.
Forward Richard Gallant (Concord, Mass.) and defenseman Carter Amico (Westbrook, Maine) will join the program next season. So, too, will forward Conrad Fondrk. While he's not from New England, he has spent the last two seasons with Mount St. Charles.
