The Loudoun Knights are excited to announce Evan McCarthy will return to the club as the Head Coach for the 12U UA team for the 2022/23 Season. The Knights will have three teams at the 12U level next season. The 12U UA team will compete in both the CBHL and the EJEPL.

  Evan was born in Vermont, but grew up in Central New York.  He played ten years of youth hockey for the Cazenovia Youth Hockey Association, a career which included a trip to the state semi-finals. He began playing varsity hockey for Cazenovia Central High School in 8th grade, captaining the team his senior year.  Evan was a nine-time letterman for Cazenovia in hockey, football, and baseball. After high school, Evan earned a bachelor's degree in Computer Science from Boston College, followed by a master's degree from Syracuse University.  He works as a Technical Director for a hardware/software developer.

  "Evan has coached in the Knights organization since the beginning and his loyalty, dedication and passion has more than earned him the opportunity to return behind the bench as a head coach", says Loudoun Knights Hockey Director Craig Desjarlais. "Last season Evan played a huge role in the CBHL Championship our 10U Silver Team won, oftentimes running the bench as a head coach during games and running team practices. Evan is constantly wanting to learn and grow as a coach which speaks volumes of his character and dedication to the kids in our club". 

Evan, a Level 4 Certified USA Hockey Coach, has been coaching youth hockey since 2018.  He was the head coach of both 8U travel teams during that first season, and has since served as an assistant for several 8U and 10U Knights teams, including the 2021-2022 10U UA CBHL Champions.

  Evan lives in Leesburg with his wife Kendall and his two hockey-playing sons, David and Ben.  Both boys enjoy playing and watching hockey--David is a Sabres fan like his dad, while Ben roots for the Capitals.

  Please welcome Evan McCarthy as the Head Coach for the 12U UA Team for the 22/23 season
