Tony Gasparini is serving as the director of player personnel for the U.S. Under-18 Men’s Select Team for the first time.

Gasparini's extremely impressive career in hockey has most recently lead him to the Sioux Falls Stampede of the USHL, where he was recently named the vice president of hockey operations and the general manager. The new title brought him back to the Stampede, as he had previously served as Sioux Falls' head coach for two seasons (2001-03) and assistant coach for another two (1999-2001).

Between his time in the USHL, he was an assistant coach at Union College for two years (2003-05) before spending 19 years as an amateur scout for the Los Angeles Kings (2005-22).

As a player, Gasparini played for the University of Minnesota Duluth (NCHC) from 1994-99, having previously spent two seasons in the USHL with the Omaha Lancers (1993-94) and the Rochester Mustangs (1992-93).
