Hodge takes over the role left behind by Mark Kumpel, and will serve as a liaison with the Competition Committee and between the league's coaches and NCAA Coaches/Scouts.

"I am very excited about the addition of Ken Hodge to the league staff, and I can't wait to get started with him," said Mike Santos, the Executive Director of the EHL. "Ken brings unmatched experience and insight from every level of hockey."

As Santos mentioned, Hodge brings a wealth of knowledge that includes over 150 games played in the National Hockey League (NHL). The native of Ontario, Canada now resides in Newburyport, MA, and is eager to get started in his new role.

"I am honored to accept this new position, and continue to work where Mark left off, focused on getting players into college," said Hodge. "As a league, it is our job to get our players into colleges that help them both academically and athletically."
