The IYHA Jr Fuel is pleased to announce a new staff member. Jimmy Mullin (Contact- JamesCMullin@gmail.com)
Joining us from the pro ranks as Director of Player Advancement and Head Coach of the Jr Fuel 18U AAA is Jimmy Mullin. Having played his formative years of hockey only a couple hours from Indy in Florence, Kentucky, his own youth experience combined with a stellar prep and junior career ultimately cut short by injuries, makes him the perfect mentor to help hockey players from our non-traditional market reach their goals. Coach Mullin has the distinction of being the only Kentucky raised youth player to be drafted by an NHL team when the Tampa Bay Lightning selected him in the 4th round of the 2010 NHL Draft.
Jimmy has developed a tremendous network of former teammates, coaches and agents that will be instrumental in helping our older players take their next step toward junior, college and pro hockey while educating our younger families about what lies ahead.
18U AAA (2001/2002) JIMMY MULLIN - DIRECTOR OF PLAYER ADVANCEMENT
Coach Mullin was born in Philadelphia, PA. He moved to Florence Kentucky at the age of 3 and started playing ice hockey for the Northern Kentucky Norseman for the first 8 years of his youth hockey experience. At the age of 11, he and his family moved back to Pennsylvania and he played for the Philadelphia Little Flyers. As an 8th grader, Jimmy was recruited by prep powerhouse Shattuck St. Mary’s in Minnesota.
After two seasons on the prestigious SSM prep team and 178 points scored, the Tampa Bay Lightning, selected him in the 4th round of the 2010 NHL entry draft.
Jimmy went on to play 1 year in the USHL for the Fargo Force where he made the USHL All Star game, 1st team USHL all star, and lead the league in plus minus as a rookie. He was also selected to represent Team USA for the World Junior A Challenge and led the tournament in goals with six in four games ahead of current NHL scoring leader Nikita Kucherov.
During his junior season at Shattuck, he committed to play NCAA college hockey at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. Following a productive freshman season at Miami with 26 points, he was sidelined for a majority of the next three seasons with major knee reconstructions and a season ending shoulder injury. Following four years at Miami, Jimmy was eligible for a fifth year transfer and complete his college career under legendary junior and college coach Mike Hastings at Minnesota State in the WCHA.
Jimmy has been a part of the Kalamazoo Wings organization in the ECHL for the past 3 seasons. In his only season not plagued by more injuries, he amassed 45 points in 62 games.
Jimmy is excited begin a new chapter in his hockey career helping players and families achieve their athletic and academic goals. He is very excited to use his knowledge, extensive network and passion for the game to help bring travel hockey to the next level in Indianapolis.
