Preston Howes returns to the Trojans for his fifth season behind the bench, third as the Head Coach.
Howes, a 2007 graduate of Troy High School, is an alumnus of the Troy Varsity Hockey Program and former Trojans defenseman. He played competitively at the college level for the University of Toledo, while also playing AA/AAA youth hockey for the Dayton Gems and Dayton Blue Hawks organizations.
Coach Howes emphasizes player development, fostering a positive environment, and teaching life skills alongside hockey. He is dedicated to helping players reach their full potential and develop into well-rounded athletes.
He strives to continue building a winning culture in the program as the Troy Trojans won their first ever Southwest Ohio Hockey League (SWOHSHL) Championship in 2024 and have won back-to-back (2024 and 2025). Coach Howes is honored for the opportunity to give back to his high school alma mater as the first ever alumni to be named the Head Coach.
