Mike Field is entering his first season as assistant coach of the Everett Silvertips. Field, 39, comes to Everett by way of the Arizona State University Sun Devils hockey program (NCAA D1), where he served as associate head coach for eight seasons. While there, Field managed the team’s defensemen as well as helming the team’s penalty kill. Under his tutelage, the Sun Devils ranked third-best in Division I last season at 86.7% success, and finished in the country’s top 10 three times in the last five seasons.

Field helped the Sun Devils receive an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament in 2018-19- their third season since joining the NCAA D1 ranks, becoming the fastest new program to reach the tournament in NCAA history. Seven players have signed NHL or AHL contracts out of ASU in his time.

Prior to Arizona State, Field worked as an assistant coach and Director of Scouting for the USHL’s Dubuque Fighting Saints from 2012 through 2015. The Fighting Saints earned the Clark Cup in the 2012-13 season, and produced nine NHL Draft picks during his tenure. In his three years at Dubuque, the Fighting Saints never finished lower than third place in the Western Conference.

He also spent four years as an assistant coach at American International College.

Field, a Marquette, MI native, attended prep school at Shattuck St. Mary’s in Minnesota before playing two seasons in the North American Hockey League. He played collegiate hockey at AIC from 2004-08, earning All-Academic Team honors all four seasons and Atlantic Hockey Scholar Athlete of the Year in 2008.
