Ken Eddy was excited about his new role: "I believe in being able to develop athletes individually so they can achieve their best and make a significant contribution to the success of the entire team, which benefits the entire Falcons program. The opportunity to be part of the Falcons program was a big reason why I wanted to take on this position. It will also be a great experience to immerse myself in a new community, culture and country. I am excited about all aspects this opportunity offers and would like to thank everyone involved with the Falcons team and those who recommended me for this position. It is a great day for my personal hockey adventure and I look forward to seeing you all at the rink soon."

Most recently, he worked as an assistant coach for the Slovakian first division club HK Dukla Trencin in the 2023/24 season. This extensive international experience should help him take the Falcons Brixen to the next level.
