Paskaris Joins Adrian Staff as Assistant

Despite it being August, the Western DIII world remains quite active and serves up it's third coaching staff change in the past month.

This time it is Adrian who has brought a new assistant on board for the upcoming season, as Stavros Paskaris has joined the staff of the Bulldogs. He replaces former assistant Matt Nicholson, who recently accepted a position as an assistant with Division I Robert Morris.

Paskaris, a Dearborn, Mich. native, comes to Adrian from Ohio University where he was an assistant for the school's ACHA Division I program last season.

He also enjoyed a successful collegiate career as a four lear letter-winning forward at Division I Wayne State University. In 136 games for the Warriors, Paskaris tallied 35 goals and 63 assists for 98 points. He led Wayne State with 33 points in the 2004-05 season and was named CHA rookie of the year. He also led the Warriors in scoring with 39 points during his senior campaign.

Prior to his time at Wayne State, Paskaris played two years for the Soo Indians of the NAHL in which he racked up 45 goals and 75 assists.

Paskaris holds a marketing degree from Wayne State and recently earned a Masters in Coaching Education from Ohio University.
