The Loudoun Knights are excited to announce Mike O'Brien will be the head coach for the 18U Team for the 2024-2025 season. The level this team will be determined after tryouts.

Coach O'Brien will be entering his 5th consecutive season as a head coach of the Loudoun Knights. Coach O'Brien has achieved tremendous success as a coach with the Knights, leading all his teams to CBHL Championship games, and capped off his most successful campaign last season guiding his 14U AA Team to a CBHL Regular Season and Playoff Championship. 

"Coach O'Brien is a professional coach in every aspect, and has attained success through preparation, accountability, and a cultural commitment to excellence," said Knights Hockey Director Craig Desjarlais. "As players wind down their youth hockey journeys at the 18U level, including many kids who have played in our club from the onset, Mike will help these players thrive on the ice while also helping them prepare for the next chapter in their lives."

Coach O'Brien is excited to transition to 18U, and is optimistic the Knights will attract a lot of regional talent to compliment our current players in what is anticipated to be a very competitive team! 

Please welcome Coach O'Brien back to the Knights!
