Cheeseman takes over Frozen Tide coach gig

June 24, 2008

Former Vernon Viper Jeff Cheesman has been selected as the new head coach of the University of Alabama Frozen Tide hockey team. Cheeseman, 33, succeeds Darren Awender, who left the Tuscaloosa school to attend pharmacy school at Union University in Jackson, Tenn. Cheeseman, a Minden, Ont. product, pocketed 50 goals and 118 points in helping the Vipers win the 1996 Royal Bank Cup over the host Melfort Mustangs in Saskatchewan. The Lake Superior State University grad, who played three years of minor pro before suffering a serious injury, will continue to serve in his role as Director of Hockey for the City of Pelham, Ont. He was an assistant coach with the Frozen Tide last year.
