 The
Peoria Rivermen President John Butler confirmed this week that
Head Coach Jason Christie would return to guide the team for the
next two seasons. Last year Christie became the third head coach of
Peoria's ECHL Franchise, following in the footsteps of Mark Reeds and Don
Granato, the latter leading the team to its’ first ever Kelly Cup
Championship. Christie, a professional hockey player since 1986 won 45
games in his inaugural coaching campaign. The Rivermen compiled 100 points
enroute to their 3rd Northwest Division first place finish in four
seasons. In the post season, Christie’s team advanced to the Northern
Conference Finals against the ECHL’s regular season point champion
Trenton and forced the Titans to a game seven, where Peoria fell with just
30 seconds left in regulation.
As a player, Christie amassed over 600 games,
playing in the East Coast Hockey League, the now defunct International
Hockey League and the American Hockey League. He last played for the
Peoria Rivermen leading the team to the 2000 ECHL Kelly Cup Championship
where he was named Co-MVP. Butler also announced this week that Assistant
Coach Joe Trotta would return for his 2nd season with Head Coach
Jason Christie. Trotta became the franchise’s first ever full-time
assistant coach following two years with the Indianapolis Ice as assistant
coach, guiding the team to the Central Hockey League Championship.
Prior to his stint with the Ice, Trotta was the head coach for the Utah
Jr. Grizzlies where his team finished with a 33-11-4 record and a berth in
the league finals. Trotta began his professional coaching career
under Don Granato and the Columbus Chill in the ECHL (1997-1998). The
Rivermen will open the season at home on Friday, October 12 when they host
the Richmond Renegades.
