  • Bowes leaves Castleton for UNH

    Bill Bowes is leaving the Castleton head coaching position for an assistant job with UNH.

    Tough blow to the Spartan women's hockey program as Coach Bowes had done a nice job in his time there helping turn Castleton into a much more competitive program and maybe one year away from competing with Norwich for the ECAC East crown. Daniels, Jensen and Stephens are three awfully good players for an incoming coach to inherit.

    this is not a good time of year to start looking for a coach.

      Very true but I think Castleton will get plenty of capable candidates. They value athletics there and the new coach will be inheriting a pretty decent team that should only continue to rise in my opinion.

            it would seem that bill bowes knows enough people around to make some solid recommendations to ease his transition out.

              What about ex Norwich Assistant coach Keith Maurice taking over the reigns?? I think he would be a good catch for Castleton.....if it is something he would want to do and leave the D1 ranks as an Asst.? Just a thought......

                bill leaving is a setback he took a team from last place to the east finals in three years he will be missed. my understanding there are four candidates for the position. who ever it is will take ove a team that will compete for the championship in the east

                    I'm not sure why so many folks think the Castleton job is such a great gig? Middle of nowhere, school with little history in women's hockey except for last year, not a particularly strong academic institution, I'm guessing that they don't pay particularly well.... why would this be an attractive job, because they had one decent season? What am I missing?

                      and they don't have a rink on campus ...

                        Every I go in Vermont when I mention Castleton the response is great school academically, the sports programs a gaining in stature and the school rests in valley surrounded by mountains

                        I let my d go there because of this

                        as with all programs thay need to be nutured with the right coaches who can recruit the right girls

                        last year the team had nine freshmen on the team and they made it to the ECAC east finals for the first time in program history

                        with Norwich rebuilding (lost 10 seniors) Plattsburgh rebuilding (lost 9 seniors) and Middlebury they could make the NCAA DIII torunament

                          i hope they are not waiting to make a decision on a new coach.

                            Those hockey programs (Platty, Norwich, Middlebury, Elmira) don't rebuild, they reload. Outatanding coaches with a proven track record being National contenders every year.
