He was also the recipient of a gold medal after working with Team Canada at the 2013 IIHF Ice Hockey U18 Women’s World Championship in Finland.

Prior to working with Hockey Canada, Young worked as video coach with the American Hockey League’s version of the Bulldogs from 2006 to 2010 where he helped Hamilton win the Calder Cup in 2007 before working alongside Boucher with the club during the 2009-10 season.

The Senators also announced today that Tim Pattyson has been assigned to another position within the team’s hockey operations department which will see him oversee analytical and statistical research and development in addition to the evaluation of potential trades or free agent signings.
