Hanna to Move On from Coaching

HUNTINGDON, Pa.- Tom Hanna '15 will be moving on in his career as assistant coach of the Juniata men's soccer team. A member of the Landmark Finalist 2013 team as a player, Coach Hanna had an instrumental impact on the trajectory of the Men's Soccer program during his tenure as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator. 

During the 2021 season, he supported the program in all facets leading to the most points in Landmark Conference play since 2014, tying the program shutout record, and conceding the third least amount goals in program history. He helped recruit the first-year class which featured the Landmark Rookie of the Year and first-team all-conference selection, Malvin Madzimbamuto. 

Head Coach Brendan Grady noted, "I'd like to thank Coach Hanna for his impactful contribution to the Juniata Men's Soccer Program. The one true test for how you do in a job is if you leave a place better than you found it. Coach Hanna clearly passed that test. His contributions on and off the field have been extraordinary. While we will certainly miss him, we are excited for Tom to take the next steps in his career and personal life. He will make any team or organization better." 

Hanna expressed, "This has been the best job I've had so far in my life. I have been extremely proud to have represented this program and the College over the last 2.5 years. I could not have done my job without the help of our awesome professors, campus staff members, athletic department colleagues, and most of all the student-athletes of our team. Coaching the men of JCMS has been fun, challenging, exciting and I can't wait to be their biggest fan next fall and beyond."

Tom Hanna will be honored by the Juniata Men's Soccer Program in a Testimonial Match on 4/2.
