Assistant Coach Kris Heeres

Assistant coach Kris Heeres returns for a fourth season as assistant coach. An Abbotsford, British Columbia native, Heeres is a 2006 graduate of Geneseo and four-year player for the Ice Knights.

Heeres was the 2002 SUNYAC Co-Rookie of the Year and helped the Ice Knights win two consecutive SUNYAC championships in 2005 and 2006.

As an assistant with Geneseo, Heeres will be involved in all facets of the hockey program including recruiting, marketing, video analysis, special teams coach and defensive bench coach.

Heeres knows Geneseo hockey from all angles, having been a recruited student-athlete, an Ice Knights player, and now, a coach. He has the privilege of selling a product that he bought into years ago.

Coach Schultz comments "Kris is a loyal assistant coach. He understands our university's mission and is committed to the success of our student-athletes. He will become a great head coach someday."
