Josh Ciocco joined the men's hockey program as an assistant coach in September of 2016.
Ciocco comes to Brown from Alaska Anchorage, where he spent the last three seasons as an assistant coach. Ciocco spearheaded the program’s recruiting efforts, as he brought in WCHA All-Rookie Team honoree Wyatt Ege and two-time Most Valuable Player, goaltender Olivier Mantha.
“We welcome Josh to the Brown Hockey family,” said Whittet. “Josh was a terrific player and former captain at UNH. Post graduation, he has established himself as a rising star in the collegiate coaching world. I know he will have a positive impact in all facets of our program.”
Before UAA, Ciocco served as assistant coach of Milton Academy, while scouting amateur hockey events for the U.S. Hockey Report. Before that, Ciocco played for the University of New Hampshire from 2003-07. As a player at UNH, Ciocco helped the Wildcats to the NCAA tournament each year, while dressing as captain during his senior campaign.
After graduating from New Hampshire in 2007 with a bachelor’s degree in political science, Ciocco spent two seasons in the ECHL with the Wheeling Nailers (2006-07) and the Fresno Falcons (2007-08). In 2010, Ciocco completed his MBA from UNH before serving as an on-air analyst for all televised Hockey East games, including the Beanpot, Frozen Fenway and the league’s championships game.
