Chris Shadow

Chris Shadow is starting his third successful season as head coach of a
NORPAC franchise. He is thrilled to be coming back to Butte the sight
of his final Junior A playing days with the Butte Fighting Irish and his
first NORPAC coaching job. Coach Shadow brings a winning attitude and record back to Butte. His career stats include a 63-25 regular season record and 8-6 in the playoffs.
While demanding hard work both on and off ice, his players develop the skills necessary for this and the next level of play. Coach Shadow has a two part philosophy for the development of young men. Our on ice goal is to improve as players every time we are on the ice. Whether in practice or a game we will always get better. The foundation for this is conditioning and strength. The second part of this philosophy is achieved by integrating the team into the community life of Butte Players will work with the Boys and Girls Club, read to students in the schools, and help with minor hockey.
We have high expectations for this year, with the kids coming in and the
veterans coming back we believe we will have a great season.
