University of New Hampshire first-year head coach Mike Souza has hired Jeff Giuliano as an assistant coach.
Giuliano’s hiring has been rumored for a few days, but was first reported by Jamie Staton of WMUR, the ABC affiliate in Manchester, N.H. and confirmed to New England Hockey Journal by two college hockey sources.
Giuliano is a Nashua, N.H., native who has spent the past three seasons as an assistant coach with the Manchester Monarchs in the ECHL. It was Giuliano’s first foray into coaching after a 13-year professional career that spanned North America and Europe.
