Peverley Reaping Rewards in Atlanta

The following article featuring former St. Lawrence standout Rich Peverley appeared October 27 on the National Hockey League Players' Association (NHLPA) Web site.

 

Determination and dedication made him a star at St. Lawrence University, but it didn’t end there for Rich Peverley.

If Joe Marsh, who completed his 24th season as head coach of men’s hockey at St. Lawrence in 2008-09, didn’t have time to talk, he’d certainly find some to speak about Peverley, who played four seasons for the Saints, from 2000-2004.

“A great kid,” offered Marsh, who has four ECAC Coach of the Year Awards to his name, is the first coach in ECAC history to win five tournament titles and was the recipient of the 1989 and 2000 Spencer-Penrose Award as Division I Coach of the Year. ”He has great skill, quick hands, very coachable and a good teammate. There is any number of things you could say about Rich.”
