POTSDAM -- A recent tour of the Quinnipiac campus was what finally swayed former Clarkson University women's hockey coach Rick Seeley to leave Potsdam to take over the Bobcats' women's program.

"It's just the feeling I got when I interviewed and toured the campus that attracted me and my wife, Chapel," Seeley said. "I believe Quinnipiac is one of the best-kept secrets in the Northeast. Hopefully it won't be one of the best-kept secrets for so long."

Seeley was introduced by Quinnipiac in a telephone conference call Tuesday afternoon and will look to raise the Bobcats to the standards he brought to Clarkson, where he built a program from scratch and turned it into one that just missed making the NCAA tournament in its fifth season.
