Tad O'Had '99, New Assistant Coach of the Florida Everblades
O’Had has joined head coach Greg Poss to lead the Florida Everblades to victory.
O’Had, a natural born hockey player, has an extensive background as both an athlete and a leader. During his time at Millbrook, he was instrumental in the success of the varsity hockey team. After graduating from Millbrook in 1999, he carried his talents on to Connecticut College, where he became the hockey team captain.
In the years following college, he became a founding member and head coach of the Florida Jr. Blades, a junior league hockey team. Under O’Had’s leadership, the Jr. Blades competed in two USA Hockey Nationals and took home two regular season championships. Eighteen of O’Had’s Jr. Blades have advanced to play in the NCAA, USHL, NAHL, and QMJHL.
With such an impressive record it is easy to see that O’Had will play an essential role in the Everblade’s success.
