Brian Becker will replace Frank Vecchio as head coach of the Lockport Express for the 2016-2017 NA3HL season.
Becker played AAA hockey and Junior hockey in Buffalo, and played on the SUNY-Fredonia NCAA Division III Team. After graduation, he went on to serve as coach and video coordinator on the Tier III Junior team. He holds a double major in Business Management and American Politics. He also volunteers with the youth hockey program in Hamburg.
“I am thrilled and honored to take the coaching reigns of such a professional organization," Becker told the NA3HL. "Coach Vecchio and Coach Kasperek have laid the foundation in the first two years and I am excited to continue to build a winner in Lockport and help players attain their goals.”
Vecchio, who will continue in the role of General Manager and will focus on recruiting and building the Express program for the future, said “Brian is a young man I have known for a number of years and respect not only his knowledge of the game but his recruiting ability, the ability to teach the game and most importantly, his high level of integrity and respect for the game. I know Brian will do great things and together, we will continue to grow the Express program.”
