The Green Bay Gamblers announced that Tim Conboy has been named the Skills and Development Coach.
Conboy, 44, is a native of Rosemount, Minn. and held the same position with the Des Moines Buccaneers in the United States Hockey League (USHL) for the 2025-26 season. Previously, he served as assistant coach at Lakeville North High School for three seasons from 2021-2024.
Prior to coaching, Conboy played 14 seasons of professional hockey at the highest levels, including in the NHL with the Carolina Hurricanes. He also saw significant time in the American Hockey League (AHL) with the Cleveland Barons, Albany River Rats, Portland Pirates and Binghamton Senators, playing more than 500 career games between the NHL and AHL. Additionally, Conboy spent six full seasons overseas in Germany’s top pro league, the DEL, with ERC Ingolstadt and Dusseldorfer EG before retiring and returning home with his family to his native Twin Cities.
Before his pro career, Conboy played Minnesota high school hockey for Rosemount and Brainerd High Schools. He was selected in the 2002 NHL Entry Draft by the San Jose Sharks in the seventh round (217th overall) after spending the season with the USHL’s Rochester Mustangs and Topeka Scarecrows. He played college hockey at St. Cloud State, turning pro in 2004 with Cleveland and eventually signing his first NHL contract in 2007 with Carolina.
“We are excited to have Tim in the Gamblers organization where he can have a direct and positive impact on our players and their development,” said Green Bay Head Coach and General Manager Patrick McCadden. “His knowledge of the game, experience and work ethic all combine to make him a tremendous mentor and resource for everyone around him.”
Conboy resides with his family in Lakeville, Minn.
