As of February 19th the Chiller has hired Martin Spanhel to take over the Adult hockey league coordinator and assistant hockey director duties.

“Martin hails from the Czech Republic and has played hockey all over the world including more than 800 professional games in Czech Republic, Norway, Denmark, Canada and the U.S.  His name is familiar to Blue Jackets fans as he spent two seasons in the organization with the Syracuse Crunch including 10 games with the Blue Jackets.

Martin brings a wealth of hockey and business experience as well as enthusiasm for the position, and we’re excited to have him on board.  We hope you’ll give him time to become acclimated to his new duties and be patient and respectful as he learns the ropes.” – TheChiller.com

I had the pleasure of meeting Martin last year at the 2-day winter adult clinic. He came across as a really nice guy and seemed very eager to help out any way he could.  He even gave a few of us his cell # and told us to call him if we needed  any help at our Team Practices.  We here at COH congratulate Martin on the new job, and believe he’ll fit in well at his new role!
