Miami University head hockey coach Chris Bergeron has announced that Jonathon Elliott will be joining his staff as the Director of Hockey Operations.

Elliott comes to Miami from Saint Mary’s University (Minn.), where he served as an assistant coach for the past four seasons at his alma mater.

During the 2009-10 season, Elliott played for the Metro Jets, tallying 15 goals and 26 points in 48 games.

Elliott graduated from Saint Mary’s in 2016 with a bachelor’s degree in sports management and played four years of NCAA Division III hockey for the Cardinals from 2012-2016. He recorded 22 points in his college career (10-12-22).

After graduation, Elliott worked for a year with the Onyx Ice Arena in Rochester Hills, Michigan and then spent the 2017-18 season on staff with the Texas Brahmas of the NA3HL. Elliott’s time in Texas included a brief stint as the Brahmas’ interim head coach.

“I am humbled and honored to have the opportunity to join such a storied hockey program here at Miami,” said Elliott. “Thank you to the entire staff for giving me the opportunity and believing in me. I’m very excited to get the season started!”

“We are excited to add Jonathon to our staff,” Bergeron said. “His personality, work ethic and hockey experience make him a great addition to the Miami Hockey family.”
