LZMW’s Board of Directors is pleased to announce the hiring of Mark Adler as the Hockey Director and Varsity Head Coach effective July 1.

Coach Adler is joining us after spending last season with Deerfield High School. His 23 years of successful coaching experience has also seen him coach Northwestern University’s Hockey club as well as well as winning State Championships with Northbrook clubs along with Silver Stick regional championships.

Coach Adler is a Northbrook native whose playing career included playing at a high level of travel hockey and then saw him win a State Title playing for Glenbrook North High School. Coach Adler then went on to play collegiate hockey at the University of Kansas where he completed a degree in Psychology.

The board was extremely impressed with Coach Adler’s attention to detail and philosophy on practice and game preparation. His views regarding discipline, player development and bench management are keys to a successful winning culture.  We are thrilled to have Mark take the leadership of the LZMW Hockey program where he will utilize his strengths and vision about player recruitment and retention to help take LZMW to the next level and remain a successful club for many years.  

Please join us in welcoming Mark Adler and wishing him success.
