It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of assistant coach, Paul Jerrard. Paul had been quietly fighting a long-term battle with cancer. Our program will be forever indebted to PJ for his countless positive impact. PJ attacked each day with a team first attitude, vibrant enthusiasm, and an unmatched willingness to help grow and develop our young men. Knowing PJ first as my coach in pro hockey, and now having had the chance to work alongside him each day, I am beyond grateful for the lessons he shared and the loyal friendship we forged.

Jerrard was a former 9th round pick by the New York Rangers back in 1983. He went on to have a very successful hockey career, playing in the NCAA, IHL, AHL and NHL.

He even found more success as a coach after his career as a player, as he went on to coach in the NCAA, AHL and NHL.
On behalf of House of Hockey, we would like to offer our sincerest condolences to his friends and family.
