Christie Serino Jr. (August 1, 1949 – October 15, 2012)[1] was an American ice hockey coach who worked for various college and high school programs over a 32-year span.
In 1988, he became the bench boss for Northfield Mount Hermon School and remained there for three years before he accepted an offer to become an assistant coach at New Hampshire under Dick Umile.
[3] When he took over the program the Warriors had not had a winning season since joining Hockey East in 1989 and during his entire 7-year tenure that trend continued.
Merrimack never finished above 7th place in the conference and lost every Hockey East tournament game they played.
[4] Serino remained the head coach for Malden until his death in 2012 as a result of throat cancer, a disease he had been diagnosed with in 2001.
