Andrew Shirdon Bio Continued...
“We are always excited to welcome one of our alums back to campus,” Good Counsel Athletic Director Steve Howes said upon Shirdon’s hiring. “Andrew’s passion for GC and hockey stood out during the search. His commitment to competitive excellence and the student-athlete experience will serve our ice hockey program well.”
The Falcons compete in the Mid-Atlantic Prep Hockey League (MAPHL) and the Washington Catholic Athletic Conference (WCAC).
Shirdon has built his program around the team motto “Tuck ’em in,” reflecting a culture of trust and consistency. He emphasizes having multiple coaches so players can seek support and guidance from more than one voice.
Before returning to Good Counsel, Shirdon coached at Bullis School (2021–22) and Gilmour Academy (2019–21), where he helped guide both varsity and JV teams. At Gilmour, he also served as head coach of the 14U Gladiators, leading the team to Cleveland Suburban Hockey League A3 playoff championships in 2019 and 2021. His coaching began with the 18U Wells Warriors in College Park and as a skating instructor at Herbert Wells Ice Rink, where he worked from 2011 to 18.
Shirdon brings a multi-sport mindset to coaching, also holding credentials as a PGA Class A professional in golf. He earned his degree in Professional Golf Management (PGM) from the University of Maryland Eastern Shore, graduating magna cum laude with a minor in hotel and restaurant management. While at UMES, he served as president and vice president of the PGM Student Association.
At Good Counsel, Shirdon was a four-year golf team member who earned All-WCAC honorable senior mention. Shirdon lives in Hyattsville, MD., and works as a real estate agent for Keller Williams Flagship of Maryland.
