Dave Fryer is serving his second term as CHE Executive Assistant. Fryer was first
formally involved with the league during the 2004-05 season when he assisted with the CHE
playoffs and annual all-star game. In 2005, he became more involved with the league when
he joined the team at the California University of PA-I as an assistant coach. In his
two seasons at CUP-I, he played a key role in the Vulcan’s’ rise to national prominence
and won both the CHE Kaleina Cup (Regular Season) and CHE Championships in the 2006-07
season. Fryer has since accepted the position of Head Coach at Duquesne University,
where he is striving to establish their team as one of the perennial contenders for the
ACHA Division-I National Championship. He is highly regarded as one of the top coaches
in Western Pennsylvania, having a stellar track record of success at both the high school
and college levels.

Fryer was a driving force behind the addition of the Skills Competition to the CHE

and has been a yearly favorite among the players and the fans ever since. Fryer was also
a key component in the creation of the CHE-MET Showdown, annually coordinates the CHE
College Expo to expose college hockey opportunities to local high school players, and
brings a wealth of hockey knowledge to CHE rules and procedures as a coach,
administrator, referee, and former player.

Fryer played his high school hockey at West Allegheny, where he founded the team and went
on to become a team captain and league all-star. He then played his collegiate hockey at
the University of Pittsburgh, during which time he was a 3-year captain, a team MVP, and
twice led the team in scoring. During his playing time at Pitt, Fryer helped form the
University Hockey League, which was the first local, high-level collegiate hockey league
comprised entirely of ACHA teams.

Fryer graduated from the University of Pittsburgh in 2000 with a degree in psychology and
has an extensive background working in Information Technology. He was born and raised in
the Pittsburgh area and resides in Oakdale, PA. Fryer is also an avid NASCAR fan, a
Penguins season-ticket holder, and a member of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes.
