Aslanian Named Assistant Coach; Mizhir Becomes Director Of Lacrosse Operations
October 17, 2019 | Men's Lacrosse
Tucker Mizhir has been promoted within the Princeton men's lacrosse staff to the newly established position of Director of Men's Lacrosse Operations, and recent Hobart grad and current member of the Denver Outlaws of Major League Lacrosse Chris Aslanian has taken Mizhir's old position as volunteer assistant coach, Tiger head coach Matt Madalon has announced.
"Tucker has in a short time made himself a very valuable member who touches every area of our program," Madalon said. "We're really appreciative that we're going to be able to have him as our first Director of Operations, and I'd like to thank [Ford Family Director of Athletics] Mollie Marcoux Samaan and [Executive Athletic Director] Chris Brock for all they did to make this important position a reality. I'm also thrilled that Chris Aslanian will be joining our staff. He's a very impressive young man who had a great career at Hobart and who has a bright future as he transitions into coaching."
Mizhir's new role will see him work on all aspects of program administration, and he will also be actively involved in the lacrosse program's social media efforts. He is in his second year with the Tigers, after coaching at national high school power Culver Military Academy in Indiana.
Prior to his time at Culver, Mizhir spent a year coaching varsity cross country, basketball and lacrosse at West Nottingham Academy in Maryland. He has also spent nearly a decade coaching club lacrosse.
A native of the Boston area, Mizhir attended St. Mark's School and then Washington & Jefferson outside Pittsburgh, where he majored in history with a concentration in professional writing while earning Dean's List and conference Academic Honor Roll honors. He was also a four-year starter as a shortstick D middie and face-off specialist in lacrosse, and he even played one year of ice hockey.
Aslanian had a 42-point rookie season (22G, 20A) for the Outlaws, who reached the MLL championship game. He was a finalist for the MLL's Rookie of the Year award.
A two-time All-Northeast Conference attackman, Aslanian began his college career by earning the 2016 NEC Rookie of the Year award and ended it by winning the the Francis L. "Babe" Kraus '24 Memorial Award as Hobart's top male senior athlete.
He finished his career with 192 career points, with 98 goals and 94 assists, and he ranks seventh all-time at Hobart in points, as well as 18th in goals and seventh in assists.
As a senior he won Hobart's Crook Family Award, which is presented annually "to the member of the lacrosse team whose leadership, outstanding play, sportsmanship and all-around value to the team have proved to be superior."
A native of Westfield, N.J., Aslanian graduated from Westfield High School and then spent a postgraduate year at the Hun School of Princeton. He graduated with a degree in economics.
