Worcester, MA – Worcester Sharks (@WorcesterSharks) General Manager Joe Will announced that Charlie Townsend has been named the Worcester Sharks video coaching assistant for the 2013-14 season.

 

Townsend joins the Sharks organization after spending the last three seasons as a professional hockey player in the Central Hockey League and the French Elite League.  He served as an assistant coach and video coordinator for the Bloomington Blaze (CHL) after an injury shortened season last year.
