UVM has named Lawrence University (NCAA DIII) Head Coach Kevin Dessart as their new Associate Head Coach. Prior to Lawrence, Dessart coached the University of Colorado club team. Dessart had an 11 year media relations career in the NHL (Islanders, Panthers and Devils).

I believe Lawrence had 7 wins during his 3 years as HC. A quick look at who those were against isn't to impressive. All good for moving up but it's hard to see how the work done at Lawrence warrants a promotion to D I. Just my opinion.
I couldn't agree more. This is easily the worst/weakest D1 hiring decision I've seen in a very long time, possibly ever. He played college club hockey. He coached women's college club hockey. Then he coached at Lawrence, so no D1 background whatsoever and not even a decent D3 coaching background. I have to wonder what in the world the Vermont coach saw in him honestly. He also brought his daughter to tag along for the coaching ride at Lawrence and made her his full-time assistant and she was a college club player with zero coaching experience, but Lawrence was ok with that?! And now she'll probably inherit the head coaching job, again with zero experience as a head coach. I guess that explains why Lawrence is where they're at in the college hockey world. I have to shake my head at some of these hiring decisions in our game. Would similar decisions with inexperienced coaches happen on the men's side???! It proves to me that most athletic directors have no clue about women's hockey or they just don't care. Either way our game suffers from it.
It will, but two of the three who entered previously have already graduated, thus becoming ineligible in the Ivies, and it's hard to see many players choosing to leave Princeton anyway.Doesn’t that open the portal for Princeton players?
