Mike Addesa (born January 8, 1945) is a former American ice hockey coach and football player. Addesa was the head coach of the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute men's ice hockey team from 1979 to 1989.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.rpiathletics.com/sports/2010/7/8/MHOCK_0708101259.aspx?id=2833 )〕 Addesa played collegiate football at Holy Cross.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.goholycross.com/sports/m-footbl/archive_files/letters.pdf )〕 == Coaching career == In 1974, Addesa became an assistant ice hockey coach at Holy Cross. He was elevated to head coach in 1976 and stayed in that position until the end of the 1978-1979 season, when he was hired by Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=61915 )〕 Addesa was hired by RPI to replace Jim Salfi who had coached the team from 1972 to 1979. In his 10 years with RPI, Mike Addesa won one NCAA Division I Men's Ice Hockey Championship in 1985 and two ECAC Division I Men's Ice Hockey Championships in 1984 and 1985.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nytimes.com/1986/02/01/sports/rpi-hockey-mixes-class-and-classes.html )〕 He was fired from RPI in 1989 for making racist comments towards two black players on his team, one of whom was future NHL player Graeme Townshend: "If you don’t stop acting like a nigger, I’ll start treating you like one.” He has apologized for the comments. However, Townshend criticized the apology as insincere and stated that he had been forced into accepting it by RPI: “Addesa tried to pass our relationship off as a father/son thing. I hated the guy.”〔http://onecanuck.com/2015/08/07/mike-addesa-state-racism-nhl/〕 Addesa would later go on to say that he had not meant the comments "racially" 〔http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P2-8121460.html〕 and to describe his firing from RPI as a "scam" which had made it impossible for him to continue coaching.〔https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1957&dat=19910526&id=lHQhAAAAIBAJ&sjid=5ogFAAAAIBAJ&pg=1206,6470358&hl=en〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mike Addesa」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
