COSENTINO NAMED NEW EJHL HEAD COACH
Looks to bring the ‘Core back on top - immediately

 Long Beach, NY- The New York Apple Core Junior Program officially announced today that former Apple Core player Chris Cosentino has been named head coach of Apple Core’s EJHL team for the 2008/2009 season. Cosentino, who spent three seasons as the head coach of Apple Core’s Junior B Empire team, is prepared to make the jump to the Junior ‘A’ level and bring immediate success to the program.

“I can’t begin to explain how excited and grateful I am for this opportunity,” said Chris Cosentino. “As a player, I took a lot of pride in being a part of the great Apple Core tradition, and I look forward to bringing that pride back in right away.”  

At only 25-years-old, Cosentino will be the youngest head coach in the EJHL and one of the youngest Junior A head coaches in USA Hockey history. Cosentino played for Apple Core’s EJHL team from 1998-2002 and went on to play at SUNY-Geneseo before transferring to Division 1 Iona College.  

“It feels like only 5-minutes ago that I was in the same shoes as the junior players today,” said Cosentino. “I know what these guys are going through, and I am confident that I will be able to get everything I can out of these players to not only achieve our team goals, but that they achieve their individual goals as well.”
