HARTFORD, Conn. – Trinity College Director of Athletics Michael Renwick announced recently the appointment of former St. Lawrence standout Carson Duggan as interim head coach of the women’s hockey program. Duggan takes the reins of the program following the resignation of head coach Andrew McPhee, who left Trinity to take an assistant coach position at Brown.
"We are extremely proud of the work Andy McPhee has done to mentor our women's ice hockey student-athletes and to build an extremely strong program. We are disappointed to see him leave, but very supportive of his decision and wish him well in his new position," said Renwick. "At the same time I am extremely excited to announce Carson Duggan as our interim head coach for the 2011-2012 academic year. I am very confident in Carson's ability to lead our program and know she will do a great job continuing to move our program in the right direction."
Duggan, an Alberta, Canada native who graduated cum laude from St. Lawrence in 2009 with a bachelor's degree in economics, begins her second season with the Trinity women's ice hockey program. The first St. Lawrence player to score over 100 career goals, Duggan was ECAC Hockey's Co-Rookie of the Year in 2006, and a three-time ECAC Hockey All-Academic team member and was named as the Saints' 2009 Co-Bernie A. McKinnon Most Valuable Player and its 2009 Co-Martha Finch Female Athlete of the Year.
"Coach McPhee built this program from the ground up, and I am thrilled to continue that process. I am thankful to Mike Renwick and the Trinity community for having the confidence to give me this wonderful opportunity," says Duggan.
