Head Coach:
Pete Fiorentino
Coach Pete's Bio:
The Wilkes Barre/Scranton Jr. Knights added Peter Fiorention to their Roster of Coaches for the 2010/2011 season. Fiorentino is the head coach for the AAA
1996 team and cites his love for teaching as a main reason for his interest in coaching hockey.
After spending four seasons in the OHL with the Sault-Ste. Marie Greyhounds, Fiorentino was drafted by the New York Rangers in the 1988 NHL Entry Draft and spent the next seven years in their organization. Following his time with the Rangers, he spent the next two seasons playing in their organization. Following his time with the Rangers, he spent the next two seasons playing in the IHL for the Las Vegas Thunder, Indianapolis Ice, and the Quebec Rafales. He returned to the Rangers in 1997 and played his final two seasons with the Binghamton Rangers and the Hartford Wolfpack of the AHL. Making his NHl debut with the New York Rangers in 1991-1992, Fiorentino was a stalwart on Binghamton's blue line and eventually retired from professional hockey in 1998 to pursue a teaching career. During his tenure, he established Binghamton Ranger records for games played (421) and penalty minutes (1,659). He was elected into the Binghamton Hockey Hall of Fame in 2003 and was elected into the Niagara Falls Wall of Fame in 2005.
Peter brings an additional eye to the defensive side of the game and is a strict disciplinarian when it comes to defensive zone coverage. Peter's personality and humor adds to the off-ice personal of any team he his coaching.
Currently, Peter reside in Vestal, New York with his wife Jeri and his three children, Brett, Andrew, and Taylor Rose. Off the ice, Peter is employed with the Union Endicott Central School District, where he teaches ninth and tenth grade Global History and Geography and United States History and Government.
