ALBANY, N.Y. -- Four years ago, Princeton athletic director Gary Walters took a chance. He was letting go a Princeton alum in Len Quesnelle, who had been on watch while the program's win totals deteriorated. Walters took almost two months to find a new coach, and in the process, spurned a number of highly-qualified Eastern candidates, some with Ivy League experience.

When he made the announcement, it was a bit of a shock to the sleuths who were trying to follow the process - he announced Guy Gadowsky, the then-coach of Alaska-Fairbanks. Gadowsky, Walters said, impressed him with his character and educational philosophy.

Four years later, Walters' choice has been validated, after Princeton returned to heights previously only attained under Don Cahoon, won its second ECAC title, and made the NCAAs.
