Smith comes to Rensselaer after spend-ing 12 years as the head men’s hockey coach at Canisius College.

He led the Golden Grif-fins to three-straight trips to Atlantic Hockey Cham-pionship weekend for the first time in school histo-ry, including consecutive appearances in the title game and the team’s first crown in 2013.

Smith led Canisius to a 21-11-7 overall record in 2016-17, including an 18-4-6 mark in Atlantic Hock-ey play. The team finished the season on a 17-game unbeaten streak (14-0-3) before falling to Robert Morris in the conference semifinals.

During the 2012-13 campaign, Smith guided Canisius to the program’s first con-ference title with a 7-2 victory in the At-lantic Hockey Championship against Mer-cyhurst and the team’s first appearance in the NCAA Division I Tournament. The Griffs also finished the campaign ranked 19th in the final USCHO.com national poll, marking the program’s highest finish in the national rankings.

Canisius nearly duplicated the remark-able feat the following two seasons, ad-

vancing to the 2014 Atlantic Hockey title game after again eliminating the top two

seeds in the conference tour-nament before earning a sec-ond-place finish in 2015 – matching the program’s best regular-season finish – and making a third-straight trip to the semifinals.

In his first 11 seasons, 186 Griffs have earned At-lantic Hockey All-Academic accolades, including a school-record 23 following the 2013-14 campaign. In addition, Max Buetow (2005-06), Dave Cianfrini (2009-10), Ryan Bohrer (2011-12

& 2013-14), Stephen Miller (2012-13 & 2013-14) and Geoff Fortman (2014-15 & 2015-16) were named the Atlantic Hockey Top Scholar Athlete for owning the top GPA in the league. The hockey program consis-tently owns the top GPA of any team at Canisius with a 3.31 cumulative mark fol-lowing the 2015-16 academic year.

During his tenure as an assistant coach at Bowling Green and Miami, Smith coached or recruited two Hobey Baker Award Finalists, four Players of the Year, two Rookies of the Year, 22 all-league award winners and three Terry Flanagan Award winners for Perseverance.

The Arthur, Ontario, native was also in-strumental in guiding Mercyhurst to two league championships and two NCAA Di-vision I Tournament appearances in his three seasons with the Lakers.

Smith graduated from Ohio State Uni-versity in 1992 with a bachelor’s degree in journalism/public relations and was a four-year letterwinner for the Buckeyes. Smith finished his career at Ohio State with 140 points, ranking 14th all-time. He was selected as team captain as a junior and chosen as the team’s MVP as a se-nior, while leading the Buckeyes with 41 assists and 63 points.

After graduating from Ohio State, Smith spent six seasons in professional hockey, including five full seasons in the American Hockey League (AHL) and the Internation-al Hockey League (IHL) and a brief period in the East Coast Hockey League (ECHL). He was under contract with the New York Rangers in 1994-95. Smith has spent his summers coaching young players and adults as a director and head instructor at numerous camps across the United States and Canada.

Smith and his wife, Susan, have two daughters, Ellis and Kylie. Susan is a pro-fessor at Rensselaer, while Ellis is a goal-tender for the ice hockey team at Manhat-tanville College and Kylie plays softball for Nazareth College.
