SPRINGFIELD, Mass. - Trevor Large has been named the first-ever full-time men's ice hockey assistant coach at American International College, it was announced by head coach Gary Wright. Large, who has served as a graduate assistant coach each of the past two seasons, will assist in all aspects of the Yellow Jackets' Division I men's ice hockey program.

"Having a full-time assistant represents a big boost for our hockey program, and we are ecstatic that Trevor will be filling the position," said Wright. "He is an outstanding young coach, whose contributions to AIC hockey have already been significant."
