Coach Walker on Van Mullem:
“Pete
may be the real reason a lot of stuff gets done in our program. He has
great organizational skills, and is able to utilize that in so many
areas of our program. He too has some great experience to draw from, as
he has worked for some very good coaches in the past. Pete will focus
on recruiting, film exchange, and practice and game coaching. We are
lucky to have Pete in our program.”
