our coaching philosophy

Playing hockey at Princeton is about having coaches that encourage your development. Our role as coaches is to guide you during your most transformative years. We believe in the impact of positive mentorship – our goal is to have our student-athletes graduate in four years and get them ready for their next chapter in life.

We care about the whole student-athlete, inside out. Academic meetings, study hall, and providing our athletes with the tools and resources to manage their mental health. It’s the top priority of our staff.
