NHL legend Matt Niskanen is headed back home.

The Virginia native is slated to take over the Rock Ridge boys hockey program, thanks to a 5-1 schoolboard vote Monday night.

“Nisky” played 13 seasons in the NHL and won the Stanley cup with the Washington capitals in 2018.

Graduating from Mountain Iron-Buhl high school, Nisky skated for the Virginia/MIB boys’ hockey team and helped the Blue Devils reach their first-ever state high school tournament appearance.

Niskanen takes over for Ben Johnson, who was recently hired as an assistant coach for the Minnesota Wilderness.
