Northeastern is expected to name alumnus Jim Madigan its new coach at a Tuesday news conference, according to numerous reports.
Madigan played at Northeastern from 1981-85, recording 38 goals and 78 points in 119 games. He then became an assistant coach at Northeastern for six seasons, and then one year at Vermont.
Madigan went on to spend 13 years in the New York Islanders scouting department, before moving to the Pittsburgh Penguins in 2006. He has continued to be the Penguins' amateur scout for New England while also holding a position in Northeastern's development office.
