GREG MALONE - Phoenix Coyotes

Chuck Grillo says, "I've never seen two people in Greg's and Glenn's  positions be so committed in a youth setting.  They are very special pros." Both men simply enjoy working with young people. It's been a real treat to watch these guys walk on to the training camp and earn the respect of the entire staff and all the players. These men  could be major league coaches for any organization if they applied the same attitude and approach to pro.  You can't teach the natural things that Greg and Glenn  possess as mentors on the ice. I've seen a lot of people go through here and none have showed any more potential to coach than these two humble professionals.  Greg is currently the Pro Scout for Phoenix Coyotes.  He said, "My summer at MHC couldn't have come at a better time.  This has helped me to prepare for this season." 

Chuck gets the nod as the "old pro" on the staff. Chuck has been with the program since day one. He is unique in his abilities because he can serve as a goaltender specialist, power skating instructor and head coach. His experiences are many but he will probably tell you that working with Mike Richter and John VanBiesbrouck head the list of those experiences. He currently works with the skills program in the Brainerd Youth Program and as a head coach  in the Brainerd High School program. We believe he is qualified to work in the NHL because he has proven this over the years while working with the many pros who have trained at the camp. "Whales" is satisfied to live a quality life in the beautiful Brainerd/Nisswa vacation area, with his wife, Marnie, and their two children while doing his duties as an educator in the regular school year and working at the camp in the summers. Goaltenders and players leave the camp believing in Chuck and his abilities.
