Tucker Mizhir (rhymes with "leisure") is in his first year as an assistant coach.
Mizhir will coach Princeton's face-off men and assist with the defense.
Mizhir helped Culver Military Academy to an 82-12 overall record the last four years, along with the 2017 national championship. He coached basically all aspects of the program, on the field and off, including working with face-offs and goalies while also helping out offensively and defensively. His responsibilities also included rides and clears, transition and early offense, the substitution game and extra-man offense.
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.
He is the fourth volunteer assistant in Matt Madalon's tenure as head coach. In addition to Soriano at Bellarmine. the other two have also moved on to full-time Division I positions, with Justin Tuma now at High Point after a year at Ohio State and Dan Carson at Air Force.
