New hockey coach at Lapeer West

Lapeer West High School has named Brian Macdonald as its new varsity hockey coach.

The veteran player and coach has been involved with hockey for nearly four decades, beginning as a player on the 1974 State Championship Detroit Catholic Central team, followed by three years of play with the University of Michigan-Dearborn hockey team, which made it to the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) championship finals.

Lapeer West Athletic Director Mary Haslinger noted, ”I am excited that Brian has accepted the coaching position, and I am confident that he is the right coach to lead Lapeer West toward contention for a Flint Metro League Championship.”

His coaching career began at Brother Rice High School, and he has been a coach in the Michigan Amateur Hockey Association (MAHA), coaching young players from Mites through Bantams, since 1996.

Macdonald lives in Lapeer and served as an assistant coach in the Lapeer East hockey program for six years, where his son played for four years.

Macdonald says he is excited about the coming season. “We will have a winning attitude,” he said. “I’m looking forward to working with the kids. I want to see them work hard and help them improve their skills.”
