Title: Bob Prier out at Princeton
Post by: pfibiger on May 12, 2014, 10:03:50 PM
Leaving after 3 years.

Wonder what this means for Scott Garrow? Will he get a shot at the HC position? I imagine a new head coach will bring in his own assistants.

Unlike Cornell's athletic department, Princeton apparently makes coaching changes when a team is performing poorly.

Looks like some sort of hazing ritual.

Fire him.

Still surprises me a little that Bob Prier is old enough to have had and lost a head coaching job.  I remember him as a player at St. Lawrence, he was really good.

Cornell had a graduating senior in Dick Bertrand who replaced Ned Harkness the next fall. He was a 29-year-old at the time with a stint as a Toronto policeman before Cornell.

That must be the first time I've ever heard those facts about Dick Bertrand on this forum.

Did you know that he was the goalie on the 1970 team, not Ken Dryden!
Title: Re: Bob Prier out at Princeton, Ron Fogarty in

http://www.collegehockeynews.com/news/2014/06/17_princeton_hires_ron_fogarty.php  Ron Fogarty, Colgate '95, replaces Prior. Fogarty started the program at Adrian in southeast Michigan and went 167-23-10 in seven years. Looks as if former Cornell assistant Scott Garrow is no longer at Princeton; Fogarty has hired two assistants and Garrow doesn't show on the 2014-15 coaching roster: http://www.goprincetontigers.com/SportSelect.dbml?SPID=4264&SPSID=51565&DB_OEM_ID=10600

CHN quotes Fogarty, "You can win anywhere and everywhere, you just have to treat people the right way and get the most out of them." First, you have to get most of them in to Princeton. Adrian has a 64% acceptance rate, 10X Princeton's. Still, an 86% winning percentage in any league is pretty amazing.
