The Pittsburgh Penguins have named St. Michael’s Buzzers goalie coach Kain Tisi as a goaltending development coach.

Tisi will work with young goaltending prospects throughout the Penguins organization in Europe, the minor leagues, juniors and college hockey, as well as scout draft-eligible goalies and college free agent goaltenders. He will both report to director of player development Scott Young.

Tisi, 36, joins the Penguins organization after spending the last seven seasons with the Kitchener Rangers of the Ontario Hockey League as the team's goaltending coach. While with Kitchener, Tisi mentored three goaltenders that were drafted by NHL teams.

In addition to his work with Kitchener, he owns the Kain Tisi Goalie School. There, he trains goalies at all levels from Professional Leagues to novice AAA girls and boys teams. He has also trained and mentored under current New York Islanders Goalie Coach, Piero Greco.

Tisi first played in the Ontario Junior Hockey League with the Mississauga Chargers, then the Milton Icehawks.

He then helped the Buzzers win back-to-back OJHL championships, in 2005 and ’06.

Tisi then played four seasons of NCAA Division I hockey with St. Lawrence University from 2006-10, where he suited up for 46 career games. Following his collegiate career, Tisi appeared in one career ECHL game with the Reading Royals in 2010.
