“Coming to the Muskegon Lumberjacks is a great opportunity for me,” Sullivan said. “I will do my best to help complement the things that are already in place, as well as help provide insight to give Muskegon an even better product on and off the ice.”
Fore more than 20 years, Sullivan has been a scout. Among his stops were Sherbrooke of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League and then the Lincoln Stars and Omaha Lancers of the USHL.
