New Assistant Coach

Nova U-15 Major Hockey Team President Shane MacIsaac announced today that Ben MacLellan

is joining the team’s coaching staff for the 2024-2025 hockey season. The 22-year-old native

of Antigonish, played his minor hockey in Antigonish before playing the 2016-2017 season

with the Novas, two seasons with The Cape Breton West Islanders, and then the past five seasons

with The Antigonish Junior ‘B’ Bulldogs, serving as a team captain. Ben recently graduated from

Saint Francis Xavier University with his Bachelor of Science Degree in Human Kinetics.

“We are very excited to add Ben to our program,” Nova head coach Jamie Mattie said in a statement.

“He has been very successful throughout his playing career and brings a ton of energy and

enthusiasm to our staff. Our young hockey players will be in great hands, and we feel that Ben

can help our players to continue to develop both on and off the ice.”
