A longtime St. Louis Park Hockey Association coach has been hired to serve as the new head coach of the SLP High School boys' varsity hockey team.
Terry Keseley, a Park resident who has coached with the SLPHA for 15 years, has been hired by St. Louis Park Public Schools to coach the Orioles next season. He'll replace former NHL star Shjon Podein, who submitted his resignation last month after two years in the position.
Keseley played hockey at the University of Minnesota Duluth back in the 1970s, according to SLP resident and Orioles play-by-play announcer John Froom.
