Chris Black

Nassau Lions 15O Head Coach Chris Black is currently a Level 4-certified USA Hockey Coach, and has been with the program since the 2013-2014 season. It was there that Chris began to learn the ropes in the program’s Mite Initiation Program before moving into the ranks of the travel level at the 8U level.

The following season, Chris served as 8U Travel Assistant Coach at the Minor and Major levels, before assuming the role of Mite Major Head Coach. Ever since, Chris has advanced through the ranks, serving as Head Coach at the 10U Major and Minor, 12U Minor and Major levels over the years.

“I have been lucky enough to have been surrounded by some great coaches over the years, and have learned the many ways to approach coaching youth hockey to get the most out of a player,” said Chris. “The best part of being involved with the Nassau County Lions program is witnessing the progression of the player’s skill set from a hockey standpoint, as well as watching them grow and mature as individuals.”
