SPRINGFIELD, Mass. -- Steve Rizer has been named an assistant men's hockey coach at Western New England.
Rizer, who had a brief stint with the Mississippi River Kings in the Central Hockey League (CHL), earned his bachelor's degree in Business Administration-Marketing in 2011.
The Long Island, New York native enjoyed a spectacular career at Fredonia State (NY) where he was an All-American selection as a junior and senior.
Rizer also was selected to the All-State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC) Team twice.
Last year he helped the Blue Devils reach the SUNYAC final and was named to the All-Tournament Team.
Ironically, Rizer was recruited to play at Fredonia by present WNE coach Greg Heffernan who was then the school's assistant coach and recruiting coordinator.
"Steve will bring so much to our program. He was regarded as one of the best defenseman in the nation during his playing career and our guys are really going to benefit from working with him every day," said Heffernan.
While at FSU, he was an active member of the team's "Pink the Rink" cancer fund-raising program that was started by Heffernan.
