'''Jason Lammers''' (born September 11, 1975) is an American [ice hockey](/source/ice_hockey) [coach](/source/Coach_(ice_hockey)) and former player. He was named as the third coach for [Niagara](/source/Niagara_Purple_Eagles_men's_ice_hockey) in the spring of 2017.[{{cite news|title=Pittsburgh native Jason Lammers named head coach of Niagara men's hockey|url=http://www.post-gazette.com/sports/penguins/2017/05/01/Hockey-pittsburgh-Jason-Lammers-Niagara-NCAA-Division-I-USHL/stories/201705010007|publisher=Pittsburgh Post-Gazette|date=2017-05-01|accessdate=2017-06-11}}]
==Career==
The [Pittsburgh](/source/Pittsburgh) native played for the ice hockey team for four seasons while attending [SUNY-Geneseo](/source/State_University_of_New_York_at_Geneseo).[{{cite news|title=JASON LAMMERS NAMED NIAGARA HOCKEY HEAD COACH|url=http://www.purpleeagles.com/news/2017/4/24/mens-ice-hockey-jason-lammers-named-niagara-hockey-head-coach.aspx|publisher=Niagara Purple Eagles|date=2017-04-24|accessdate=2017-06-11}}] After graduating with a [BA](/source/Bachelor_of_Arts) in history he played two seasons as a professional in the now-defunct [WCHL](/source/West_Coast_Hockey_League)(West Coast Hockey League).
Lammers started his coaching career in 2000 as a volunteer assistant with [Clarkson](/source/Clarkson_Golden_Knights_men's_ice_hockey) before taking a full-time assistant position with [Hobart](/source/Hobart_Statesmen) the following year. The Golden Knights lured him back a year later as an assistant but after head coach [Mark Morris](/source/Mark_Morris_(ice_hockey)) was fired mid-season Lammers was on the move once again.[{{cite news|title=Clarkson President Demands Apology Over Bertagna Letter|url=http://www.uscho.com/2002/12/04/clarkson-president-demands-apology-over-bertagna-letter/|publisher=USCHO.com|date=2002-12-04|accessdate=2017-06-11}}] He spent one season at both [Alaska](/source/Alaska_Nanooks_men's_ice_hockey) and [Princeton](/source/Princeton_Tigers_men's_ice_hockey) before receiving his first head coaching job with his [alma mater](/source/alma_mater). Lammers led Geneseo to a 19–9–2 record, winning the [SUNYAC](/source/State_University_of_New_York_Athletic_Conference) tournament for the second year in a row.[{{cite news|title=Cassan Nets Winner, Geneseo Takes Second Straight SUNYAC Title|url=http://www.uscho.com/recaps/2006/03/05/cassan-nets-winner-geneseo-takes-second-straight-sunyac-title/|publisher=USCHO.com|date=2006-03-05|accessdate=2017-06-11}}]
He didn't stick around to build on the success, however, leaving to join the staff at [Ohio State](/source/Ohio_State_Buckeyes_men's_ice_hockey) in [2006](/source/2006%E2%80%9307_NCAA_Division_I_men's_ice_hockey_season). With the Buckeyes Lammers finally found a home for longer than a year, remaining with the program for three seasons before accepting a similar post with [Colorado College](/source/Colorado_College_Tigers_men's_ice_hockey) for two seasons. He had a four year stint with [Massachusetts–Lowell](/source/UMass%E2%80%93Lowell_River_Hawks_men's_ice_hockey) under [Norm Bazin](/source/Norm_Bazin), helping the team reach the [2013 Frozen Four](/source/2013_NCAA_Division_I_Men's_Ice_Hockey_Tournament), before he got his second head coaching gig, this time with the [Dubuque Fighting Saints](/source/Dubuque_Fighting_Saints).[{{cite news|title=Saints Name Jason Lammers Head Coach|url=http://www.dubuquefightingsaints.com/news_article/show/534775-saints-name-jason-lammers-head-coach|publisher=Dubuque Fighting Saints|date=2015-07-16|accessdate=2017-06-11|archive-date=June 18, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160618001426/http://www.dubuquefightingsaints.com/news_article/show/534775-saints-name-jason-lammers-head-coach|url-status=dead}}]
In his first season with the team Lammers got the junior squad to post a 39–19–1 record and make it all the way to the [Clark Cup](/source/List_of_USHL_Champions) Final. His second campaign was only slightly less successful as the Fighting Saints made the Eastern Conference Final. After the season Lammers was hired as the head coach for [Niagara](/source/Niagara_Purple_Eagles_men's_ice_hockey), replacing [Dave Burkholder](/source/Dave_Burkholder).[{{cite news|url=http://buffalonews.com/2017/04/30/lammers-sees-resiliency-talent-takes-niagara-hockey-program/|title=Lammers sees resiliency and talent as he takes over the Niagara hockey program|date=April 30, 2017|agency=''[The Buffalo News](/source/The_Buffalo_News)''|author=Moritz, Amy|accessdate=June 26, 2017|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20170627003954/http://buffalonews.com/2017/04/30/lammers-sees-resiliency-talent-takes-niagara-hockey-program/|archivedate=June 27, 2017|url-status=dead}}][{{cite news|url=http://buffalonews.com/2017/04/24/niagara-picks-experienced-jason-lammers-hockey-coach/|title=Niagara picks experienced Jason Lammers as hockey coach|date=April 24, 2017|agency=''[The Buffalo News](/source/The_Buffalo_News)''|author=Gaughan, Mark|accessdate=June 26, 2017|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20170627004016/http://buffalonews.com/2017/04/24/niagara-picks-experienced-jason-lammers-hockey-coach/|archivedate=June 27, 2017|url-status=dead}}]
