August 2nd 2021: Today Jim Koltes has been hired as the new Girls Hockey Coach

Here is a little about his background

Jim Koltes grew up in Crystal, MN where he attended Robbinsdale Armstrong High School and was a member of the varsity hockey team.  He currently is a Physical Education teacher at Park Center. Jim has been a high school hockey coach for 25 years in the metro area. He has been a varsity coach for 23 of those years. Jim has also coached or been involved with hockey at a variety of different youth levels; USA Hockey High Performance 16/17’s, Summer STP, and Fall Warm Up for the past 23 years.

Jim also is the Head Varsity Softball Coach at Maple Grove High School.  In 2019 the program won its first AAAA MSHSL State Championship. The Crimson had made the State Championship three previous times under Koltes, I guess the fourth time’s the charm!

Jim currently lives in Champlin with his wife Becky, and their two kids, Ian and Cate.  They are an animal loving family, feel free to ask him about that sometime.

 Jim is excited to step in and support girls hockey from the youth levels through high school.  He will make a positive impact and continue the impressive tradition of Maple Grove Girls Hockey and our community.
