CANISIUS (1-2-2, 0-1-1) AT AIC (0-4-0, 0-2-0) Dave Smith Head Coach • Fourth Season • The Ohio State University ‘92 Dave Smith is in his fourth season as head coach of the Canisius College hockey program and 11th season as a coach at the Division I Level. In his first three seasons leading the Golden Griffin program, Smith has guided numerous student-athletes to success both on and off the ice. The Griffs have collected athletic honors and academic honors as well as enjoying successful careers after graduation. The highlights include: • Seven Griffs have signed professional contracts after playing under Smith at Canisius, including Kyle Bushee and Bryce Luker following the 2007-08 season. • Smith mentored David Kasch to Atlantic Hockey Best Defensive Forward honors. Kasch was the first Griff to earn a postseason individual award since the 1999-00 campaign. In addition, one freshman in each of Smith’s first three seasons has been selected to the Atlantic Hockey All-Rookie Team. • Smith’s first full recruiting class earned 12 league honors during the 2006-07 season, including 10 Rookie of the Week honors, which were the most of any Division I school in the country. His second recruiting class earned three weekly honors and included the top two freshmen in Atlantic Hockey in points per game. • The Griffs have set or tied six school records under Smith’s leadership, including four during the 2007-08 season highlighted by Josh Heidinger, who matched the program record by scoring in six-consecutive games, and Andrew Loewen, who set a Canisius mark with a 201-minute shutout streak, the 10th-longest in NCAA history. Both players were honored as Atlantic Hockey Player of the Month and Goaltender of the Month, respectively, for their achievements. • In his three seasons, 39 Griffs have earned Atlantic Hockey All-Academic accolades, including 15 following the 2007-08 campaign. In addition, Max Buetow was named the Atlantic Hockey Top Scholar Athlete in 2005-06 for owning the top GPA in the league and four have been named to the league’s Academic All-Star Team for having the highest GPA’s at their respective positions. Smith became the program’s third head coach on April 15, 2005 after serving the previous three seasons as the associate coach and recruiting coordinator at fellow Atlantic Hockey member Mercyhurst College. Smith also spent time as an assistant coach with Bowling Green and Miami. During his tenure as an assistant coach, Smith coached or recruited: • Two Hobey Baker Award Finalists • Four Players of the Year • Two Rookies of the Year • 16 all-league award winners • Three Terry Flanagan Award Winners for Perseverance The Arthur, Ontario, native was also instrumental in guiding Mercyhurst to two league championships and two NCAA Division I Tournament appearances in his three seasons with the Lakers.
