Elmira names last year's assistant Kelsea Martalock as the new head coach. She spent one year one the bench as the assistant at Elmira prior to taking over for Dean Jackson who as we know left for Penn State. She also served as an assistant at St. Norbert prior to that.

Re: Elmira Names Assistant Kelsea Martalock as Head Coach
They also hired Jordin Pardoski as an assistant coach. Pardoski was a captain at Penn State and graduated this past spring. Elmira alum Lisa Marshall and former Elmira head coach Dean Jackson are now at Penn State, and Penn State's Jordin Pardoski is now at Elmira. Pardoski's first game behind the bench with Elmira is November 4th against Neumann, whose head coach is Gina (Kearns) McLaughlin, Pardoski's former assistant coach at Penn State - the small world of women's hockey.Last edited by ZedLeppelin; 10-31-2016, 10:19 AM.

So is Jordin Pardoski the acting Head Coach at Elmira? Hasn't seemed to affect the team too much yet.... Of course, it's been Neumann and Chatham so far...Steve

I think this road weekend against 4-1-1 Buffalo State followed by hosting Norwich on December 3rd will be a good indicator of where they are. This is a team that only lost to 4 teams all of last year, 3 of which played in the NCAA tournament last year (Adrian, UWRF and Plattsburgh) and the other was Utica. No one would cheer a bad Elmira season more than a Plattsburgh homer like me but I don't think they're done even with these setbacks. (Not that you're saying they're done, but I've seen others predict a bad season).

Nate Handrahan?! Maybe Scott McDonald should apply so he can get back to winning some games! Anyone else?!

I agree with Scott that Elmira will figure it out. There's way too much talent there. I, however, would not revel in them dropping. I love the competitive games!Steve

Interesting to note how there is no official announcement on Elmira's website about the coaching change. They probably don't want to draw attention to or even acknowledge what happened with the young female coach crossing the line with a player on the team, if that is what happened as an earlier post indicated. Gives the impression of a very controlled environment and the sense that the AD rules things there in a very controlling manner. Also interesting to note this is now the 3rd men's team assistant coach they've given the head women's coaching job to and none of them had any previous experience in women's hockey and none as a head coach either for that matter. Not that anyone will fail to win as the coach of this team but it's hard to believe a female AD treats the women's hockey program this way. It's very convenient and easy to hire this way I suppose. Does the men's coach even have a say in whether or not he wants to give up his assistant coach? Very doubtful.
