Riley also has experience with first-time programs, as he built the Wilkes University program from the ground up, with a record of 16-8-2 in the team’s first year, earning Conference Coach of the Year honors. Riley spent the previous season working under Colgate Head Coach Don Vaughan. Prior to that, he spent his first season as a Head Coach, launching the Men’s Hockey Program at Wilkes.

Named the United Collegiate Hockey Conference Coach of the Year, Riley led three players to All-MAC accolades, a Rookie of the Year honoree.
