Williams was named head coach in January of 2021.
“I am excited to see what Kyle is capable of in his new position,” said Land, “He has been an asset to all of Thunder Hockey for the past three years and we are happy to have him in a new leadership role.”
Williams, a Sport Management major and a 2020 graduate of Trine, served as an Undergraduate Assistant Coach while a student at trine. From 2017-2019 he assisted both the ACHA D2 and ACHA D3 teams.
Then for the 2019-2020 season, Williams has worked exclusively with the NCAA Division III men's hockey team and was instrumental in helping the team reach their first-ever Northern Collegiate Hockey Association Harris Cup Playoff berth.
“It is an honor to return to Trine as a head coach,” said Williams, “I look forward to assisting these men with their goals both on and off the ice.”
Prior to Trine, Williams played one season in Williston, N.D. at the junior college level where he was named team captain as a Freshman. Prior to college, Williams spent three years playing junior hockey in Boise, Idaho where he won back to back championships (2015 & 2016) in the Western States Hockey League (WSHL). He was the team captain for both championships and was named league MVP in 2016.
