Christian Grunnah
14U Head Coach
A native of Chicago, Christian culminated his
amateur hockey career at the highly acclaimed college preparatory academy, Shattuck-St. Mary’s School in Faribault, Minnesota. Using what he has learned from in-game experience and over a decade of coaching both on the bench and as the head of his internationally recognized skills development program, Christian has applied his training techniques—as well as techniques from speed skating, biomechanics, and downhill ice cross—to all of his coaching and instructing. Earning a Master of Fine Arts degree in acting from the Moscow Art Theatre in Russia, with a focus on ensemble development and acrobatic and movement
training analogous to those used by the famous Red Army hockey program, Christian has a unique perspective on athletic performance. Since 2012, he has had the privilege of working with all levels of players, from beginners to pros, both on and off the ice. He has coached internationally in Slovakia, Germany, Austria, Canada, and England. Christian is a Level 5 USA Hockey certified coach.
