COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- University of North Dakota assistant hockey coach Karl Goehring has been named as an assistant coach of the U.S. Under-18 Men's Select Team that will compete in the upcoming 2023 Hlinka Gretzky Cup, announced today by USA Hockey.

The tournament is set for August 1-6 in Břeclav, Czechia, and Piešťany, Slovakia. Goehring will serve under current Minnesota State Head Coach Luke Strand and alongside Nick Oliver (Wisconsin) and Jimmy Mullin (USNTDP).

Goehring, who is set to begin his fifth season at UND this fall, is making his international coaching debut as an assistant coach of the 2023 Under-18 Men's Select Team.

In his four seasons behind the bench, Goehring has helped guide the Fighting Hawks to two NCAA Tournament appearances (2021, 2022), three Penrose Cups as NCHC regular season champions (2019-20, 2020-21, 2021-22) and one Frozen Faceoff title (2021) as NCHC playoff champions. Prior to his time in Grand Forks, he spent two seasons (2017-19) with the AHL's Syracuse Crunch as the goaltending and video coach after seven campaigns (2010-2017) as a volunteer goaltending coach for North Dakota.

A UND alum, Goehring had an impressive playing career that led him to the NHL's Nashville Predators and included stops in the AHL and ECHL. Additionally, the Apple Valley, Minnesota, native was in net for the U.S. Men's National Team at the 2000 IIHF Men's World Championship.
