| Matt Thomas |
The University of Denver will add Matt Thomas to the coaching staff in August as the volunteer assistant coach for the 2011-12 hockey season. Matty is the older brother of former DU hockey captain Andrew Thomas ('08).
Matt was a four year player at the Naval Academy (2001-'05) and co-captain his Senior season. For the past two seasons Matty was an assistant coach for the Navy hockey program while he was stationed in Washington DC at the Navy's Military Sealift Command. Prior to that he spent four years serving his country attaining the rank of Lieutenant stationed on the USS Monterey and the USS Elrod in the Persian Gulf.
Matty's father Larry was a long-time WCHA referee and younger brother Andy currently plays professionally for the AHL Albany Devils. Andy was a member of the 2005 University of Denver National Championship team.

Families don't get any better than the Thomas family.
Glad to have Matt aboard.
Does he know any goalies?
great news. glad to see the Thomas' back in a Pio uniform (so to speak)
Happy Birthday wishes to Matt are in order. He's 28 years old today (June 28th).
As an ex Air Force officer I can officially attest to the fact that all naval officers are chicken shit. our boys better get used to six A.M. drills. It would have been better if Matt had gone to the Air Force Acadamy rather then Annopolis.
Aluuum,
I'll introduce you to Matt the next time I'm around campus and you can pass your concerns about the Navy's lack of discipline to him personally. :-)
Not lack of--too much!!
There's no such thing as "too much displine."
As a former Army infantry officer, I laugh at all Wing Nuts and Goat F-ers. :)
Actually, it's great to have Matt aboard!
I think it's great how Gwozdecky brings in these volunteer guys for a few years. Not only gives them a role in a top tier NCAA program, but also these guys have been tremendous contruibutors to the DU program each year. If George needs volunteer beer tasters for each home game....where do I send my resume ?
Great to have a Thomas in the fold again!!
