Mike Garman was named General Manager on July 7, 2021 after four seasons behind the Steel bench as assistant coach and associate head coach. Prior to the start of the 2022-2023 season, Garman re-joined the coaching staff in a dual role of general manager/head coach.
Garman joined the Steel prior to the 2017-2018 campaign, assisting in all aspects of coaching, including working with the team's goaltenders.
The former netminder played college hockey for the Cornell Big Red (ECAC) before embarking on a three-year professional career, including stops in the ECHL, CHL, Get Ligan (Norway), Division I (Sweden), and Magnus League (France). He played junior hockey for the Springfield Jr. Blues (NAHL) and Nanaimo Clippers (BCHL).
After retiring from playing, Garman began a coaching and consulting business, GoaliebyGarman, LLC that worked with pro goalies and pro organizations using analytics to identify, train, and develop elite level goaltenders.
