Kyle Czech, who comes from Prentiss Hockey Performance (PHP) in Connecticut, will serve as the strength & conditioning coach for the Terriers’ field hockey and men’s ice hockey programs. He holds two degrees from Winona State University in Minnesota and has worked at two BCS schools (Clemson, Wisconsin).
PHP, owned by highly regarded PICP Level 5 strength coach Ben Prentiss, has trained the likes of Olympians Jonathan Quick, James van Riemsdyk, Martin St. Louis and former Terrier Kevin Shattenkirk, along with multiple other Stanley Cup champions and professionals throughout hockey and lacrosse.
At Clemson, Czech assisted with all Olympic sports before moving on to Wisconsin, where he was a strength & conditioning intern with men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s hockey, golf and spirit squads.
"We feel very fortunate to have someone with Kyle's experience and knowledge working with our athletes to make them fitter, faster and stronger," said head field hockey coach Sally Starr. "He has worked hard to learn the dynamics of our sport and has been very innovative in his approach. Our athletes have enjoyed the challenges presented to them and have felt the positive benefit to their performances on the field."
