Coaching the Angels gives me the opportunity to share the long-standing traditions of the program with central Denver’s youth.

Andy Luhmann

COACH

Ashburn, Virginia
Frostburg State University

Started playing lacrosse in 7 th grade, after I realized baseball just wasn’t it. Fell in love with the speed of the game immediately, and knew I wanted to play at the next level. I enrolled at FSU as a Freshman in the year 2011 with 40 other kids. It was the first year that Frostburg was going to have a program and we were all extremely excited to start our legacy. Played – all four years and loved every minute of it.
After graduating from FSU, I was lucky enough to coach my Alma Mater back in Ashburn, Brian Woods High School for a couple of years
Upon moving to Denver, I was lucky enough to be introduced to the Denver East group and have been here since last fall!
Coaching at East has always been about the players, and the connections that are made. Helping the next Generation out is something I feel extremely grateful for, and am ready to help these boys take the next step.

ALEX WINKLER

COACH

Fort Collins, CO
Nazareth College
I started playing lacrosse in the 3rd grade and continue to play today. I was on varsity for three years in high school and captain my senior year. In college I played Div. III at Nazareth College all four years in school.
From 2018 to 2020 I coached youth lacrosse with the Flyers lacrosse club in Rochester. In 2021 I was a varsity assistant coach for the PSD Stars. This will be my third year coaching at Denver East.
Coaching at Denver East means giving back to the game and community I love so much. Being able to work with such a great group of kids year after year has only furthered my love lacrosse and this program.
