Considered a leader in the early years of the coaching education program, Stan Moskal played a pivotal role in growing the game at a time when there were very few resources – either print or video – for coaches across the country.

Moskal served as the Rocky Mountain District coach-in-chief from 1976-81 and 1985-89, as well as the district’s coaching program director for an extended period of time. In that role, Moskal not only performed his duties in coaching education within his district, but frequently assisted as needed in other districts as a mentor to many coaching education staffers across the country in the formative years of the program.

Moskal was both a coach and an administrator during the infancy of the Littleton (Colo.) Hockey Association and played a vital role in the continued growth of the organization as a long-time member. He originally became involved with USA Hockey at the 1962 International Ice Hockey Federation Men’s World Championship in Colorado Springs, Colorado, where he served as a statistician for games played at the Broadmoor World Arena (USA Hockey was then known as AHAUS). Later that year, he began refereeing in Colorado Springs and continued to do so until the early 1980s.

In 1985, Moskal’s efforts extended overseas, as he visited Scotland and England along with Keith Blasé and Dave Peterson, to do a series of coaching and player development clinics throughout both countries.

Moskal currently resides in Denver.
