Sean Walsh Returns to New England as UConn Hockey Assistant Coach
Sean Walsh is back in New England, taking an assistant coaching role with UConn men's ice hockey after a year at Alaska‑Fairbanks. He replaces Nick Peruzzi, who moved to Wisconsin, and brings a deep coaching résumé that includes stints at Maine, the University of New England, Bowdoin College, and the USHL. Walsh’s father, Shawn Walsh, once led the Maine Black Bears to an NCAA championship, adding a layer of heritage to his new position as the Huskies aim to build on a 20‑13‑5 season that reached the NCAA Tournament.
