Kuhl took over as NCDC's head coach midseason after starting the 2025-26 season as assistant coach, and guided New York to a 14-16 finish — a big turnaround from a 6-16 start. Six players committed to college programs under his leadership: Will McDonald (Beloit), Eric Treusdell and Jegor Sobolev (Misericordia), Louis Sweenor (SUNY Plattsburgh), Cade Miner (Franklin Pierce) and Paul Schilcher (SUNY Canton).

Kuhl has coached in New York's Capital Region since 1993, developing players at every level from youth to pro for more than 30 years. He founded Excel Hockey Inc. in 1997 and is an owner of the Hockey Hut Training Center in Clifton Park. He was hired by Boston University Athletic Director Drew Marrochello and delivered the 2001 National Championship to Hudson Valley Community College.

Ron was inducted into the New York State Hockey Hall of Fame on July 9, 2023. He is an avid golfer, has been married to his wife, Deb, for 31 years, and is a proud father to Cameron Kuhl and Anna Snyder, and grandfather to Shepherd James Snyder.

Pierre is in his second season as an assistant coach for NCDC. He met Head Coach and General Manager Ron Kuhl at the Hockey Hut and has been a constant presence with Dynamo ever since.

Before coaching, the Quebec native played 15 seasons of professional hockey. New Jersey selected him in the seventh round (216th overall) of the 2004 NHL Entry Draft, and he spent five NHL seasons with the Devils (2008-2011), Calgary Flames (2011-12), and Pittsburgh Penguins (2014). He also played for the Albany River Rats (2005-2006) and Albany Devils (2010-2011) in the AHL.

Pierre was inducted into the New York State Hockey Hall of Fame in July 2023. The left-shot forward resides in East Greenbush with his wife and two children.

Eric has been involved with the Dynamo organization since its inception in the 2007-2008 season, when he was an Assistant Coach with the 18U team. He was the Head Coach of the Albany Titans 16U team in 2016-2017, and in 2019-2020 he was an Assistant Coach with the 13U and 18U Dynamo teams.

As a player, Eric was a 4-year high school player competing locally for Niskayuna/Schenectady in the CDHSHL. After high school, he went on to play junior hockey in the Continental Hockey Association and the Atlantic Junior Hockey League for Head Coach Brad Shaver, winning a National Championship in 2005-2006 for the Albany Junior River Rats. Eric also trained under Coach Kuhl at the Hockey Hut Training Center as a youth player since its inception in 1997 and credits Coach Kuhl as being one of his mentors throughout the years. Eric is an on-ice instructor at the Hockey Hut and takes pride in helping players maximize their potential.

Eric is a native of Schenectady and is currently enrolled full-time at Union College finishing his degree in Economics.
