Alex Handy
A native of Carmel, Indiana, Coach Handy attended Park Tudor School, where he played AAA hockey before being drafted to the Indiana Ice of the United States Hockey League. He played under head coach Jeff Blashill, who is now the head coach of the Chicago Blackhawks. During his time with the Indiana Ice he was part of a team that won the Clark Cup championship, an experience that shaped his understanding of team culture, accountability, and what it takes to win.
Following his junior career, he continued playing at the collegiate level, competing in NCAA Division III hockey at the University of Wisconsin–Stevens Point and ACHA club at Indiana University where he graduated in 2013 with a bachelor of science in public affairs. His college experience developed his skills while gaining a broader perspective on leadership, preparation, and team dynamics. His playing career experiences now directly influence his approach to coaching and player development.
Coach Handy brings a strong combination of playing experience, coaching expertise, and commitment to mentorship. He is dedicated to developing the next generation of Brebeuf Jesuit Hockey student-athletes both on and off the ice.
