On Dartmouth Hockey: "Dartmouth College has a long and honored hockey tradition that dates back to the 1905-06 season. Over the years such names as Guibord, Rondeau, Riley, Peters, Jeremiah, Brownridge and Williams have been synonymous with the highest levels of collegiate hockey and the championship teams of Davis and Thompson arenas. As coaching a staff that brings a combination of multifaceted experiance, youthful energy and patient perserverance, we will strive to regain the winning ways of the great teams that have preceded us. For the talented and dedicated student-athlete, Dartmouth offers an ideal environment in which to grow and mature, bothe academically and athletically. Our rural setting allows young men and women to maintain their rigorous standards, focus on and attain their goals, and at the same time, appreciate the beauty of our northern New England location. Hanover and Dartmouth provide the ideal atmosphere for outstanding hockey, and it is my goal to reestablish the tradition of exciting and winning teams in the Upper Valley."
