BRANDON NAURATO
TITLE Interim Head Coach
Brandon Naurato was named the Interim Head Coach of Michigan Hockey on August 7, 2022, after recently completing his first season on the U-M coaching staff.
In his first season, the Michigan alum helped the Wolverines to the Big Ten Tournament Title and a run to the 2022 NCAA Frozen Four. Michigan posted a record of 31-10-1 and set a new program record with 16 sellout crowds at Yost Ice Arena to see Michigan's high-octane offense. With a record seven first-round NHL Draft picks, and 13 selections overall, the Wolverines had the third-best scoring offense in the nation, averaging 3.98 goals per game. A potent power-play ranked third at 27 percent. Matty Beniers, Luke Hughes and Owen Power were named All-Americans while goaltender Erik Portillo was a finalist for the Mike Richter leading the nation in saves, while capturing Big Ten MVP and NCAA Midwest Region MVP.
A native of Livonia, Mich., Naurato spent three seasons with the Detroit Red Wings, serving as a Player Development Consultant. In his role, he worked with both the Red Wings and Grand Rapids Griffins coaching staff to implement individual skill development into the team identity. Year-long individualized plans for each player, team tactics, and the identification of current trends through analytics and video analysis were focus areas for Naurato during the season.
Along with running all prospect development for Detroit in the Summer months, Brandon owns and manages his own development business, Naurato Consulting. He has enrolled over 170 junior, college and professional players over the past two years in his development program with a focus on blending technical, tactical and transferable skills. He also spent seven years as the owner and director of Total Package Hockey in Detroit where he started the first online hockey academy in the United States.
Notable NHL players that have worked with Naurato include: Zach Werenski, Quinn Hughes, Dylan Larkin, Jacob Trouba, Jack Hughes, Kyle Connor, JT Compher and Andrew Copp.
Naurato played four years at Michigan, from 2006-09, making the NCAA Tournament all four years. In 130 career games he scored 32 goals and 32 assists. He helped the Wolverines to the CCHA Championship in 2008, leading to a Frozen Four appearance. Following his collegiate career, he played four years in the pros, making stops at Stockton (ECHL), Toledo (ECHL), Port Huron (IHL), Fort Wayne (CHL) and Dayton (CHL).
