AUSTIN, MN – The Austin Bruins, proud members of the North American Hockey League, are pleased to announce the addition of Alex Drulia to the Bruins Coaching staff in the role of Assistant Coach. Drulia has been serving as a Regional Scout for the Bruins the past season.
“I am very excited to be a part of such an amazing organization,” mentioned Drulia. “I look forward to getting to town and meeting everyone in the organization and I am excited to meet the great fan base and the local community.”
Drulia, 28, joins the Bruins Coaching Staff after spending the 2022-23 season as a Regional Scout for Head Coach Steve Howard and the Bruins. In addition to scouting, Alex served as the Head Coach for the Maine Moose 18U program.
