The United States Hockey League announced Monday that Adam Micheletti has been named USHL Director of Hockey Operations and Player Development. Adam will join the League office headquarters in Chicago next month. He takes over for Tony Gill, who spent four seasons as the administrator and coordinator for all League hockey operations matters, and served as the day-to-day conduit between the USHL’s sixteen general managers, the Office of the Commissioner, and USA Hockey. Gill, a former standout player for the Cedar Rapids RoughRiders and at the University of Notre Dame, is leaving the USHL to pursue other opportunities. “This office, the USHL, and the world of junior hockey owe a huge debt of gratitude to Tony Gill, and the professionalism and organization he brought to this organization,” said USHL President and Commissioner Skip Prince. “From his work with our Competition Committee, to the development of our USHL Combine series, to his re-working and defining our regulations, to the introduction of our Player Safety Initiative, to his coordination of our relationship with USA Hockey, there has been no one better. Tony will remain part of the USHL family on special projects going forward.” Read more http://prohockeynews.com/micheletti-named-ushl-director-of-hockey-operations-and-player-development/
