Ethan Goldberg, of Green Oaks, IL, was hired by the organization on June 28th, 2017, as an Assistant Coach prior to the beginning of the 2017-2018 season. Goldberg was promoted to the role of Associate Coach on July 16th, 2018.

“Our organization is much stronger with Ethan Goldberg as a part of it. Last year as a Head Coach he had a very successful year as we all knew he would, and I think now he has even more that he can add to the Tri-City Storm. Ethan is as good of a hockey mind and student of the game as I have ever been around, and equally as important he is a friend that I know I can trust. I am excited to welcome him back to Kearney, and know that he will make our players and staff better on a daily basis.”- President of Hockey Operations/Head Coach Anthony Noreen
“Adding Ethan Goldberg back to our organization is an immediate improvement and upgrade to our coaching staff. This hire improves our day-to-day player development immediately. We are fortunate to be able to return a staff member who knows the USHL, our club, and our staff. Ethan is a great coach, teacher, and evaluator of talent.”- General Manager Jason Koehler
