A native of Colorado Springs, Shaun Hathaway began his coaching career with CSAHA after graduating from Knox College in 1995.  Three years later, he left Colorado Springs to pursue a Master’s degree in Sport Studies from Miami University (OH).  While at Miami, for two seasons Hathaway served as the graduate assistant coach to the Dvision-1 hockey powerhouse Miami RedHawks.  Completing his degree in 2000, Hathaway returned to Colorado to help guide the Pikes Peak Miners to their first Tier-1 national tournament.  The following season he accepted a position with the Sioux Falls Stampede (USHL) as an assistant coach where he had the opportunity to coach stars like the Buffalo Sabres' Thomas Vanek, and CC’s Hobey Baker winner Marty Sertich. Three years later he was back in Colorado Springs serving as the head coach of the Pikes Peak Miners

In 2003-04, he led his team to a 50+ win season, and the Miners first top-ten national ranking.  NHL Stanley Cup winner Trevor Lewis, former CC Tiger captain Michael Testwuide, and AHL Calder Cup champion Jeff Dimmen (among others) were part of this historic season.  Following the Miners 03-04 season, Hathaway stepped aside from hockey to focus on other career aspirations.  After spending several years working in hockey part time as a scout and helping local high school programs, Hathaway returned to the Pikes Peak Miners in 2010 as head coach of the inaugural U15 AAA team.  This team has since become the Miners Selects U16 AA team, which Hathaway has helped build.  In 2009, Hathaway completed a second Master’s degree in teaching from Colorado College.  This spring, he was hired as the CSAHA U18 Director of Hockey, and will continue to serve as the Miners Selects U16 AA head coach.
