Frankie Hart Named 10U Head Coach for Southeast Beast Hockey

Knoxville, TN – Monday, July 7, 2025 — Southeast Beast is proud to announce Coach Frankie Hart as the head coach of its 10U travel team for the 2025–26 season. With an elite playing background and a passion for youth development, Coach Frankie is set to lead the next generation of Knoxville hockey talent.

A former standout in the Maritime Hockey League and NCAA Division III player at SUNY Fredonia, Coach Frankie went on to play professionally in North America and Europe before shifting his focus to full-time coaching. His resume includes experience with the renowned Turcotte Stickhandling School and RHP Training Centre in Sudbury, where he worked with athletes of all levels — including NHL talent. Known for his energy, approachability, and commitment to developing both skill and mindset, Coach Frankie brings a rare ability to connect with young players and lay the foundation for long-term success.

As 10U head coach, Frankie will focus on developing core skating, puck skills, and team concepts — while instilling values like effort, accountability, and leadership. The program’s long-term goal is clear: to grow this team into a legitimate AAA-level program within the next three years, building from the ground up with athletes who believe in the process and embrace the work.

“This age group is where it all begins,” said Coach Frankie. “If we can teach strong habits, love for the game, and confidence now, we’ll build players who can thrive at any level.”

Coach Frankie will also serve as part of the Hockey Operations staff for Southeast Beast, helping align the development model across all age groups and programs.
