Aaron Fox
Aaron Fox (born May 19, 1976 in Hastings, Minnesota) is an American ice hockey executive and former professional ice hockey player.
Playing career[]
Fox attended Minnesota State University, Mankato from 1996 to 2000, serving as a team captain in his senior year.[1]
Except for short stints with the Milwaukee Admirals of the International Hockey League, and the Peoria Rivermen and Richmond Renegades of the East Coast Hockey League, he spent his professional career abroad, playing in Slovakia, Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Slovenia and Croatia.
While playing for the Vienna Capitals, he led the Austrian Hockey League in scoring in 2007–08.[2] He also displayed his scoring ability at Austrian second-division side EC Dornbirn in 2010–11, when he tallied a league-leading 83 points (30 goals, 53 assists) in 42 games.[3]
Managing career[]
In 2013, Fox decided to end to his playing career and signed a three-year deal as sports director of Medveščak Zagreb of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL).[4] The Zagreb team left the KHL at the conclusion of the 2016–17 season to join the Austrian EBEL.[5] On 30 July 2018, Medveščak announced that Fox would henceforth serve as both sports director and coach.[6] Less than nine months later, on 16 April 2019, the Sheffield Steelers of the British Elite Ice Hockey League announced Fox as the team's new coach and general manager, having signed him to a three-year contract.[7]
