Coach Frantz is currently employed at Brookfield East High School, making him the first coach of the Stars from within the school district.

Coach Frantz had this to say about his new position, “I am very excited to be a part of the Brookfield Stars as their head coach. I look forward to guiding the boys in the right direction both on and off the ice. I know that the athletes and parents involved in the program have a passion for the game and I am looking forward to the upcoming season and being a part of the long term future of the program.”

Brookfield Central AD Todd Sobrilsky said about Frantz, “Chris really impressed the interview committee with his passion and enthusiasm for the game of hockey and the Brookfield hockey community. We are extremely excited about the exceptional skills he brings to the position.”
