Harvard Hockey 2025-'26: Crimson Ascending

Ted Donato has stepped down.....was this rumored? Anyone see this coming?

Because I sure didn't!
As I said in my post, I'm not shocked by this news but it is surprising nonetheless. Probably caught the team by surprise. It will be hard on the assistant coaches as they will not be retained in all likelihood. The next coach will want to build the program his way with his people.
 
Ted Donato has one of the greatest local hockey legacies in Massachusetts history. I'm open to any debate on this.

Any intelligent list of greatest high school hockey players in Mass history includes his name. He started the Catholic Memorial hockey dynasty in the 80s. He was a dominating high school player when the Catholic Conference ruled Mass hockey.
And here's a partial list of players who developed under him who went on to the NHL: Alex Killorn, Jimmy Vesey, Alexander Kerfoot, Sean Malone, Ryan Donato, Colin Blackwell, Adam Fox, John Marino, Ian Moore, Mitchell Gibson, Jack Drury, and probably more that I'm forgetting.
