Former Colorado Avalanche forward and 2001 Stanley Cup winner Steven Reinprecht joined the DU Pioneers as volunteer assistant coach, newly appointed head coach David Carle announced Friday.
The 42-year-old Reinprecht will assist primarily with faceoffs, game preparation and skill development.
“I am excited to be at DU and join David Carle’s staff,” Reinprecht told the Pioneers website. “I have known for a long time that when my playing career was finished, I wanted to be a college coach. The chance to join this staff is a tremendous honor and I am excited to help the Pioneers continue their rich tradition.
