Tim Ohashi ’11

This analytics whiz kid who grew up idolizing the Capitals is now helping coach them

Dec. 28, 2016
takeaway: Talent over experience is the name of this hiring game Tim Ohashi’s amazing journey, writes Dan Steinberg of The Washington Post, took him from “obsessing over sports as a kid in Bethesda to studying psychology and mathematics at Bates to landing an internship and then a fulltime job” with his favorite hockey team, the Washington Capitals. Ohashi is the hockey operations analyst, a multitasking job comparable to “an NFL quality-control coach,” Steinberg writes. “I could have told you probably 20 years ago that this was exactly where I’d like to be,” Ohashi says. “I never in a million years would have guessed I’d be here.” He got his gig the old-fashioned way, blanketing the team with resumes after getting a master’s in sports industry management at Georgetown. And though he scored just one career hockey goal, in an 18-2 win, for the Bates club team, Ohashi has proven to be “a genius” in his work, says Jay Beagle, a Capitals center. “Statistically, he’s the best.”
