In his first season as an assistant coach (2011-12), Fohr helped lead the U.S. National Under-17 Team to first place finishes in two international tournaments: the 2011 Four Nations Tournament in Balishikha, Russia and the 2012 Vlad Dzurilla Under-18 Tournament in Piestany, Slovakia. He also helped guide the U.S. to a second place finish at the 2012 World Under-17 Hockey Challenge in Windsor, Ont.

Domestically, Team USA earned a playoff spot in the United States Hockey League Clark Cup playoffs due in part to the play of the Under-17 Team.

He previously served in the same position from 2004-07 before working behind the bench as assistant coach for the Mavericks (2007-2010).
