LOWELL, Mass. – UMass Lowell Associate Athletic Director for Facilities and Events Alan Zebrak has announced the hiring of Sean Patno as the team services manager.

"I am excited for the opportunity to transition from UMass Lowell Hockey to working with all of our Division I teams on campus," said Patno. "I look forward to working with the great coaches and staff we have here to provide our student-athletes with high quality services throughout the year."    

The UMass Lowell 07 alum has been with the hockey team for seven years. He spent three seasons as the head equipment manager, and had been the team services manager for the previous four seasons.

"We are delighted to have Sean come over from the hockey operations staff where he has been a valuable member of their team to oversee our team services division," remarked Zebrak. "It was a natural fit, as Sean brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to help improve our area. Just as important, Sean brings a passion for UMass Lowell being a former student-athlete and continuing in his professional career that we are looking for."
