Johnston named Carleton Ravens head coach

OTTAWA - Carleton University is pleased to announce Marty Johnston as the new coach of the university's men's hockey team.

Johnston has been an assistant to the Ravens for the past three seasons and has coached locally with the Gloucester Rangers. His playing experience includes being the two-year captain of the Dalhousie University Tigers, a Memorial Cup with the Hull Olympique and playing professionally in both the American Hockey League and in Europe. 

"The department is very excited to have Marty as the new leader of our men's hockey program," commented Jennifer Brenning, director of Carleton Recreation and Athletics. "His passion and commitment for hockey, coaching, student-athletes and Carleton were very evident throughout the process."

Johnston inherits a competitive team that has exited the playoffs in the second round for the past two years.

"There is a strong nucleus of committed players returning and we are very confident that under Marty's leadership the program will position itself to be a consistent contender within the OUA and the CIS," said Brenning.
