MEET THE COACH
As we embark on this exciting new chapter in Indians hockey, we are pleased to introduce head coach Doug Laprade.
A former NCAA Division I National Champion in both playing and coaching capacities, Laprade brings an impressive wealth of experience and a proven track record of success.
As a draft pick of the Los Angeles Kings, Laprade competed collegiately at Lake Superior State University during a period of unparalleled dominance.
Renowned for his composed, equitable, and player-centric approach, Laprade provides a structured environment that fosters opportunity, development, and growth for every athlete. His extensive experience, leadership acumen, and winning pedigree make him an exceptional addition to the Soo Indians.
