Zimmering Joins Big Red Staff
ITHACA, N.Y. -- Edith Zimmering, a 2005 graduate of Elmira
College who has spent the last two seasons as an assistant coach at
Brown University, has been named an assistant coach with the
Cornell women's hockey team, announced on Monday by head coach Doug
Derraugh.
"We're really excited to have Zimmering on the coaching staff,"
Derraugh said. "She's someone who has won two national
championships and who knows what it takes to win. She was an
outstanding goaltender and has coached one of the best in the
league while at Brown. It's also very helpful that she has
experience at the Ivy League and Division I level. She's a very
good recruiter and is fluent in French."
Zimmering coached the past two seasons at Brown University, first
as a volunteer assistant during the 2007-08 season and then as a
full-time assistant coach last year. Under her guidance, Brown
goaltender Nicole Stock posted a .922 save percentage last year,
good for 16th in the nation and sixth in ECAC Hockey. Her coaching
career also includes six summers as the head goaltending instructor
at the Elite Hockey Camp in Hanover, N.H.
As a player, Zimmering played four seasons with the Elmira College
women's hockey team, guiding her squad to a pair of national titles
and a national runner-up finish. She was twice named All-American
by the American Collegiate Hockey Association.
