He’s back. After a two-season absence, Bobby Jay has renewed his assistant coaching position with the Harvard men’s hockey team. Jay’s return not only brings a familiar face back to Bright, but his homecoming may also restore the Crimson to its glory days.

“We are very exited to have Bobby Jay back,” incoming captain Alex Biega wrote in an email. “He is an unbelievable teacher who has experience both in the collegiate and pro game...He knows what it takes to win and knows how to develop players to their full potential.”

Jay first assisted under head coach Ted Donato ’91 from 2004-2007. During this time, Jay worked closely with the Crimson’s special teams unit. Under his leadership, Harvard’s power play was among the nation’s best, with the 2005-06 and 2006-07 squads killing penalties at 85.2 percent and 80.8 percent, respectively.
