Brian Becker enters his second season as head coach of the Hilbert College women’s ice hockey program in 2026–27. Becker was officially introduced as the program’s head coach on February 26, 2025, after serving as an assistant coach during the 2024–25 season.
With more than a decade of coaching experience, Becker has developed a reputation within the Western New York hockey community for helping turn around and build programs.
Prior to Hilbert, Becker spent three seasons as the head coach of the St. Francis High School Prep Hockey program from 2021–2024. Competing in the Midwest Prep Hockey League (MPHL), Becker guided the Red Raiders to an above-.500 record, marking the program’s best MPHL finish in 16 years.
Before his time at St. Francis, Becker served as a varsity assistant coach and head junior varsity coach at Frontier High School. During the 2019–20 season, his Frontier team produced a 12-game improvement in its record and finished the season as league champions.
Becker’s coaching background also includes head coaching positions with the Lockport Express of the NA3HL and Hamburg Hawks 18U AAA, as well as coaching with the Buffalo Stars in the Empire Junior Hockey League shortly after graduating from Fredonia State in 2012.
A Hamburg native, Becker began his collegiate playing career at Fredonia State, competing in the SUNYAC as a true freshman. He later transitioned to the ACHA program, helping the Blue Devils earn consecutive appearances in the ACHA National Tournament.
Becker graduated from Fredonia State in 2012 with a double major in Business Management and American Politics. Outside of hockey, he owns and operates two businesses in Hamburg, Thryve and F45 Training Hamburg.
Becker resides in Hamburg with his wife, Lindsey, their son, and their dog, Nala.
