The Valencia Flyers 2007-08 Head Coach has been tabbed as the Graduate Assistant men’s hockey coach at Bemidji State University of the CHA.
Marvin led the 2007-08 Flyers to the first round of playoffs with a 1-2 record, while amassing a regular season record of 26-22-3 with a winning percentage of .539. Marvin has stepped down as the Valencia Flyers Head Coach to pursue an opportunity to acquire his Masters degree in Sports Studies while teaching Physical Education courses and Coaching Division 1 men’s hockey.
“What seems like an easy decision to most has been very difficult for me. I will be leaving my family, and some unbelievable players who have committed themselves to this program. I realize that it takes hard work and sacrifice to chase your dreams, and that is why I cannot pass up this great opportunity.”
Marvin, will assist with video breakdown, strength and conditioning, goaltenders, and in game analysis while on staff with the Bemidji State Beavers.
Bemidji State breaks ground on a brand new multimillion dollar arena this fall and will most likely bolster them into the WCHA when completed in 2010.
“I am very thankful that I have had the direct support of my family, friends and staff through this decision. I feel very confident that the Valencia Flyers program will continue to grow with the solid core of players who will be returning for the upcoming 2008-09 season and who knows where I’ll be after I graduate, maybe I’ll have a chance to coach some of these guys again!”
The Valencia Flyers would like to Congratulate Ryan Marvin on his 2007-08 accomplishments and wishes him the best of luck in his future!
