Germantown Academy Director of Athletics Tim Ginter has named Frank Seravalli as the new head coach of Varsity Ice Hockey. 

"We are thrilled to welcome Frank Seravalli to Germantown Academy,” Ginter said. “Frank is a respected figure in the hockey world whose passion for the game is unmatched. His deep knowledge of the sport, vision for building a program, and lifelong connection to GA hockey make him the perfect leader to guide our program forward.”

Though a graduate of Holy Ghost Preparatory School, Seravalli’s ties to Germantown Academy Ice Hockey run deep. As a child, he was a devoted fan of the Patriots, regularly watching GA play at Face Off Circle in Warminster. He idolized GA’s players, memorized their names, and revered coach John Ioia, who was inducted into GA’s Athletic Hall of Fame in 1996. 

“That’s where my love for hockey began, and those memories remain a powerful source of inspiration," Seravalli said. "Germantown Academy hockey has been one of the crown jewels of the Philadelphia region and is still the only school to send three players to the NHL. There is a proud history and a passionate alumni base here, and I'm incredibly thankful for the trust demonstrated by GA leadership and the athletic department. I can't wait to dig in and put in the work"

Seravalli brings a wealth of experience to Fort Washington. He currently serves as head coach for the 11U Philadelphia Blazers, and professionally as an NHL insider and broadcaster. As President of Hockey Content at Daily Faceoff, he led a national network of digital hockey coverage and served as the site’s lead NHL Insider. A three-time selection to The Hockey News list of the “100 People of Power and Influence in the NHL,” Seravalli has spent nearly two decades breaking league-wide news and offering expert analysis across international platforms like TSN, Sportsnet, and Amazon Prime. 

Prior to Daily Faceoff, he was an NHL Insider at TSN, Canada’s sister network to ESPN, and spent six seasons as the Flyers beat writer and NHL columnist for the Philadelphia Daily News.

Off the ice, Seravalli served as President of the Professional Hockey Writers Association and previously sat on the Holy Ghost Prep Alumni Association Board. He holds a B.A. in English from Penn State and attended Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism.
