BOWLING GREEN, Ohio - Bowling Green State University head hockey coach Ty Eigner has completed his staff by hiring Nathan Phillips as his Director of Hockey Operations.
"We are thrilled to add Nathan to our staff," Said Coach Eigner. "He is incredibly intelligent and has tremendous passion for both academics and hockey. His positive impact on our program will be felt on a daily basis."
Phillips comes to Bowling Green following three seasons as the Associate Head Coach of the Culver Military Academy U16 AAA team. He also served as Goaltending Coach for the boy's and girl's programs.
"I am incredibly excited to be joining Bowling Green State University and the Falcon hockey family," said Phillips. "It is quite an honor to be able to work alongside Ty Eigner, Curtis Carr, and Maco Balkovec who are all genuine people and have great hockey minds. The opportunity to have an impact on the strong culture that Ty has helped build was one that I jumped on immediately."
As a coach at Culver Academies, Phillips held a lead role in the facilitation of player development including on and off-ice strength, conditioning and goaltending. He had a pedagogical approach to coaching emphasizing the development of character, leadership, and quality citizenship along with continual growth as a hockey player. Phillips also managed family relations during the admissions process, and during the student-athlete's tenure at the Academy. He also maintained the hockey program's social media presence, and served as humanities instructor and student life mentor.
Phillips has also been active in the various levels of youth player development camps of USA Hockey including Michigan, mid-America, the southeast, pacific regions, and National camp. Internationally he studied player and goaltending development in Finland, the Czech Republic, and Sweden.Â
Prior to Culver Academies, Phillips played college hockey as a goaltender at Michigan State University from 2011-16. In his time as a student athlete, he was a three-time Academic All-Big Ten honoree, and a Big Ten Distinguished Scholar. Phillips graduated with a bachelor's degree in English. His hometown is Jackson, Michigan.
