Biography
[edit]Luongo was born in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Fraser, Michigan.[1] As a youth, he played in the 1980 Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament with the Detroit Compuware minor ice hockey team.[2]
Luongo was a stay-at-home defenseman who played in 218 games in his NHL career, scoring 8 goals and 23 assists for 31 points and collecting 176 penalty minutes. Drafted by his hometown Red Wings in 1985, he then accepted a scholarship to Michigan State where he enjoyed a four-year career with the Spartans, earning the team's "Dr. John Downs Outstanding Defensive Player Award" in 1988 and 1989. He spent 1989 to 1992 in the Red Wings organization before signing with the Ottawa Senators as a free agent. After one season in Ottawa, he was traded to the New York Islanders, where he finished his NHL career in 1996.[citation needed]
Luongo was also a member of the U.S. squad at the 1996, 1997, and 2000 World Championships, winning the bronze medal in 1996.[citation needed]
From 1997 to 2004, Luongo played in Germany's Deutsche Eishockey Liga, playing for EV Landshut, Munich Barons, Nuremberg Ice Tigers and the Krefeld Pinguine.[citation needed]
Luongo currently resides in Novi, Michigan, and has two sons, Anthony and Christopher. He also has a dog named Tyson.
Coaching
[edit]Luongo spent two seasons as an assistant coach with the Wayne State Warriors. In September 2008 he joined the UAH Chargers as an assistant coach under head coach Danton Cole, who was a teammate of Luongo's at Michigan State. In 2010, he was named head coach of the Chargers,[3] and coached the team for two seasons.[citation needed] After leaving UAH in 2012, he took a break from coaching until joining the National Team Development Program from 2015 to 2017 as assistant coach. From 2017 to 2022, Luongo served as the assistant coach for the Michigan State men's hockey team under Cole.
