“I am pleased to announce the hiring of Jason Guerriero as our new assistant coach,” said Whittet. “Jason has a strong and varied resume both as a player and as a coach that will translate well to our program. He is a very personable individual who brings a relentless work ethic and is driven to succeed. Jason is a consummate teacher of game and will be a counted on to work with our offense specifically focusing on forward and power play development. With such a young team returning I thought it was very important to have Jason on staff as someone the players can learn from and lean on.”
Before arriving at Yale, Guerriero spent two seasons as an assistant at Holy Cross, where he worked with the forwards and special teams units.
As a collegiate player, Guerriero put together an impressive four-year career at Northeastern, capped by a standout senior season when he led Hockey East in scoring en route to First Team All-American honors.

He was also named First Team All-Hockey East, Northeastern’s Male Athlete of the Year and Rookie of the Year and Hockey East’s Len Ceglarski Sportsmanship Award winner. Guerriero, who was later named to the Hockey East 25th Anniversary All-Northeastern team, was also a New England Hockey All-Star and a Walter Brown Award runner-up.
Before moving on to coaching, Guerriero enjoyed a six-year professional career, including two seasons with the AHL Milwaukee Admirals where he posted 23-52-75 in 137 games. He also played overseas in Finland, Austria, Switzerland, Germany and Denmark, where he led Sonderjyske Hockey Club in scoring during the 2010-11 season.
