HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WHNT) — The Huntsville Havoc announced head coach Glenn Detulleo plans to retire from coaching at the end of the 2022-2023 season.

The hockey organization announced Detulleo will transition to a front-office role as the team’s Executive General Manager after the end of the upcoming season.
