Glen Patterson returns for the 2024-25 season which will be his fifth with the Elmira Impact organization. He will serve as Hockey Director/Premier Head Coach for his fourth season. Glen will oversee both our teams as well as lead player development and player advancement to college hockey and higher-level junior hockey. “I have seen and felt as a player how much the Elmira fans and community support local hockey,” Patterson said. “I loved playing here and I am thrilled to coach here.” “I guarantee our fans one thing: We will play an exciting brand of hockey bringing one hundred percent effort on every shift every night,” Patterson continued. A native of Cobden, Ontario, Patterson played more than 250 professional games during a six-year playing career in the United States, Sweden, and New Zealand. “Glen played a big role in what we achieved in our first four seasons advancing more than 50 players beyond Tier 3 junior hockey,” noted Elmira Impact President Tim Kolpien. “He and his staff will take our program and our players to even greater heights both on and off the ice in the 2024-25 season.”
