points (2g, 4a) in five games.

The lone newcomer to the forward corps is cassandra Vilgrain (Cal-gary, Alberta). She led the Edge School for Athletes to a gold medal at the World Sport School Challenge, where she was named the tourna-ment’s top forward, and to the JWHL championship game.

deFensemenUNH’s defensive unit is small in number with four returners – two juniors and two sophomores – and one addition.

caroline broderick (Marblehead, Mass.) tallied two goals and three assists each of her first two years for a total of 10 points in 63 career games. Jess ryan (Cloquet, Minn.) has made small contributions to the offense from the blue line. She tal-lied her first career point last year and finished with three points, all on assists. alexis crossley (Cole Harbour, Nova Scotia) was a highly decorated

introductionThe University of New Hampshire women’s ice hockey team eturns 18 letterwinners from last year’s squad that finished fourth in the Hockey East standings with a 10-8-3 confer-ence record.

ForwardUNH lost its top two point producing forwards to graduation but returns a strong nucleus of 11 skaters led by seniors nicole gifford (Ennismore, Ontario), Jessica hitchcock (La-Salle, Ontario) and arielle o’neill (St. Catharines, Ontario).

Hitchcock is a second-year Wildcat who was also a two-year letter-winner at Niagara University. She scored a goal in her UNH debut and ended the season ranked third in goals (nine) and fifth in points (18). Hitchcock also ranked third in shots.

O’Neill, a three-time Hockey East All-Academic Team honoree, has skated in 100 of 101 games the past three seasons. She netted eight goals last year as a junior to rank fourth on the team, and she also tallied seven assists for a total of 15 points. O’Neill led UNH and was second in Hockey East in faceoff win percent-age (64.5%).

Gifford, captain of the ‘Cats, ranked fifth on the team in assists (10) and also scored three goals – all on the power play – for a total of 13 points. She has 47 points (18g, 29a) in 100 career games.

The junior class is comprised of hannah armstrong (Keswick, Ontario), Jenna lascelle (Cornwall, Ontario) and kayla mork (victoria, Minn.).

Armstrong, an assistant captain

and three-time Hockey East All-Academic Team honoree, rebounded from an injury-plagued 2011-12 season to skate in all 34 games a year ago. She ranked fourth overall – and is the leader among return-ing forwards – with 19 points on 11 goals and eight assists; she was second in goals.

Lascelle has skated in all 69 games the past two years; following a 21-point effort as a freshman in 2011-12, she totaled seven points (1g, 6a) a year ago. Mork is a two-time Hockey East All-Academic Team honoree who has played every game and totaled 12 points (5g, 7a).

heather kashman (Edmonton, Alberta) is a redshirt sophomore this year. Injury sidelined Kashman in 2012-13 after recording 10 points (7g, 3a) as a freshman.

Returning for a second season don-ning the UNH jersey are haley breedlove (Plano, Texas), sara carlson (Hutchinson, Minn.), Jon-na curtis (Elk River, Minn.) and brittney redlick (Biggar, Saskatch-ewan).

Carlson was one of three freshman – the only forward – to skate in all 34 games last year; she was equal finisher, equal playmaker with seven goals and seven assists for 14 points. Redlick scored six goals to account for all six of her points in 26 games played. In limited action last year, Breedlove recorded one point (1g) in 10 games.

Curtis had a strong start to her UNH career with three multiple-point efforts in the first five games, but then she was sidelined by injury the rest of the season and was awarded a redshirt season; Curtis tallied six

The Wildcats then begin a three-game homestand Oct. 4 against RIT, a team the ‘Cats have not faced off against since December 1994. Syracuse University, which finished second in the CHA standings – one spot ahead of RIT, comes to the Whittemore Center on Oct. 5; last year, the ‘Cats were 4-3 road victors

four goaltenders on the 2013-14 ros-ter with three returning netminders and one incoming freshman.

After missing the first 10 games of the 2012-13 season, Jenn gilligan (Maple Ridge, British Columbia) started 20 of the last 24 games and finished with a 10-5-3 record, 2.29 GAA, 909 save percentage and two shutouts. Her stats improved in league games with a 2.06 GAA and .915 save percentage.

With those numbers, Gilligan was a Hockey East Honorable Mention selection.

Gilligan went unbeaten (3-0-0) in November and was honored as Hockey East Goaltender of the Month in January by virtue of a 1.81 GAA and .924 save percentage.

Vilma Vaattovaara (veikkola, Fin-land) played in 12 games, including 10 starts, a year ago and compiled a 3-9-0 record with a 4.04 GAA and .868 save percentage.marie-eve Jean (Gatineau, Que-bec) went 1-1-1 with a 2.71 GAA

freshman in 2012-13 with Hockey East Second Team All-Star, All-Rookie Team, Rookie of the Month and All-Academic Team included among her accolades. Crossley led all ‘Cats in both assists (16) and power-play goals (five), and she ranked second in points (23). In the league, she was second in defense-man scoring, third in blocked shots (64) and fifth in both freshman scor-ing and power-play points (13).

megan armstrong (Edina, Minn.) also had a strong rookie season in 2012-13. She played in all 34 games and ranked second on the squad in defenseman scoring with 13 points (4g, 9a). Armstrong was also first among defensemen – fourth overall – in shots.

The two basic goals of the Strength and Conditioning department are injury prevention and performance enhancement for the 20 varsity sports sponsored by the University of New Hampshire. The first goal, injury prevention, revolves around reducing the likelihood of the student-athlete getting injured during games or practice by training the student-athlete as a unit and pinpointing weaknesses in the player that need to be strengthened. The second goal, performance enhancement, centers on making the student-athlete a better student-athlete. This is done by educat-ing student-athletes on a wide range of training from Olympic-style weightlifting to teaching the student-athlete how to move more efficiently while running or during an agility drill. The Strength and Conditioning program plays a vital role in the success of UNH hockey. The student-athletes train year-round to perform at their highest level throughout the season. The UNH women’s ice hockey strength and conditioning program is a com-prehensive training program that involves Olympic-style weightlifting, traditional strength training, plyometrics, agility/quickness training and sport-specific conditioning.

Paul Chapman enters his 12th year as the director of strength and conditioning at the University of New Hampshire. During his tenure at UNH, Chapman helped coordinate the building and subsequent expansion of the state-of-the-art Jerry Azumah Perfor-mance Center, and his efforts have been key in guiding UNH student-athletes to NCAA appearances in both women’s and men’s ice hockey, football, gymnastics, women’s volleyball, women’s lacrosse, skiing and track and field. Chapman had been the director of strength and conditioning for the University of North Dakota from 1992-2001 and served there on an in-terim basis during the 1991-92 season. During his stint with the Fighting Sioux, he worked with head coaches to tailor sports specific strength and conditioning programs for 18 intercollegiate sports. He also oversaw and administered four weight training facilities and supervised a staff on 10 assistants. His efforts were an integral part of a winning tradition at UND, as the football team was the Division II national champions in 2001, the men’s ice hockey team won a Division I national title in 2000 and 1997 and the women’s basketball team was the Division II national champion in 1997, 1998 and 1999. Chapman is a member of the Collegiate Strength an Conditioning Coaches Association (strength and conditioning coach certified), USA Weightlifting (certified level 1 coach), the National Strength and Condi-tioning Association, and he was the state director of the National Strength and Conditioning Association in North Dakota from 1991-95. He has also authored four publications related to strength and conditioning and has trained and consulted several NFL, CFL and NHL athletes, and prospective athletes preparing for all-star games, bowl games and pre-draft testing. Chapman is a 1990 graduate of Dickinson State University in North Dakota with a B.S. degree in Biology. He then went on to earn at M.S. in Exercise Science from North Dakota in 1994. An outstanding college athlete, Chapman was inducted into the Dick-inson State Athletic Hall of Fame for his efforts on the football field. He was a two-time All-America First Team selection as well as an All-America Second Team honoree in his four-year playing career. Upon graduation, he was a fourth-round draft choice of the Saskatchewan Rough Riders in the Canadian Football League. Chapman and his wife Kimberly have two children, Tyler and Brittani.

John Ciani is entering his 12th year directing the strength and conditioning program for the UNH women’s ice hockey program. After four years as an assistant coach in the University’s strength and condi-tioning office, Ciani was promoted to the position of Associate Director of Strength and Conditioning in 2006. Ciani’s efforts have been key in guiding UNH student-athletes to NCAA appearances in both men’s and women’s ice hockey, football, gymnastics, women’s volleyball, women’s lacrosse, skiing and track and field. Coach Ciani is very passionate about his commitment to strength and conditioning. He has taken his wide range of experiences to come up with very distinct hockey-specific training philosophies. In conjunction with the coaching staff, Ciani develops individualized training programs depending on the athlete’s initial evaluation, experience level and cur-rent athletic ability. Under Ciani’s program, improvement is not based on how much weight is on the bar or how high an athlete can jump, but rather the health of the player and her performance on the ice. The women’s ice hockey strength and conditioning program cre-ated by Ciani utilizes all facets of training, from basic strength training and Olympic Weightlifting to simple conditioning and hockey-specific conditioning that enhances the athlete’s abilities during competition. No single training style dominates the program; Ciani uses a combination of all training techniques for the total development of the student-athlete. Ciani, a native of the San Diego, Calif. area, came to UNH after a stint as assistant strength coach at the University of North Dakota. During his tenure at UND, Ciani worked primarily with the 2001 Divi-sion II national championship football team, women’s volleyball and men’s basketball teams. In 2000, John began his career in strength and conditioning at Long Beach State as a graduate assistant working with the perennial national power women’s volleyball team, where he trained many All-American and national team level volleyball players, including Misty May. Ciani received a B.A. degree in Psychology from Long Beach State and worked on his Master’s Degree in Exercise Science at the University of North Dakota.

The Certified Athletic Trainer provides a myriad of services to the department and the student-athlete. These include, but are not limited to, initial injury assessment and management, emergency injury/illness management, referral to appropriate professionals, interface with associated physicians and others, rehabilitation, counseling, administrative duties, including insurance coordination, supervision of practices and games, development and implementation of emergency plans, as well as student athletic trainer supervision. The athletic training room is considered to be “a designated facility where comprehensive health care services are provided. Comprehensive health care services included practice and game preparation, injury/illness evaluation, first aid and emergency care, follow-up care, rehabilitation and related services.” (National Athletic Trainer’s Association Education Council) The Sports Medicine Department at the University of New Hampshire consists of eight full- and part-time certified and licensed athletic trainers. The department works out of two locations – the Field House and the Whittemore Center. Both athletic training rooms utilize currently available modalities, including muscle stimulators, ultrasound, heat, cryotherapy, and hydrotherapy. The athletic department renovated its Field House athletic training facility in early 2013. The modernized space features improvements in lighting and layout that have improved the room’s functionality while providing student-athletes with a safer, more pleasant environment for treat-ment and rehabilitation. Renovated staff offices were enclosed in glass, and the ‘wet area’ that consists of cold tubs, whirlpools and the ice machine was afforded its own encased area with improved ventilation.

Jon Dana has been involved with University of New Hampshire athletic program since 1984. He began his career as an assistant athletic trainer and was promoted to men’s head athletic trainer in 1987 and head athletic trainer for the entire program in 1989. In 2001, he was named UNH’s Director of Sports Medicine. In addition to overseeing operations and supervising the Sports Medicine staff, Dana works specifically with the football and ski teams.

The mission of the student-athlete academic support services office at the University of New Hampshire is to provide the academic support and re-sources necessary for students to succeed in their academic endeavors. The Academic Support staff strives to assist student-athletes in meeting their academic goals in four ways: provide general academic information, moni-tor academic progress, arrange tutorial services and refer student-athletes to other support offices on campus. There are several ways in which the academic progress of student-athletes is monitored: communication with professors, academic advisors, and coaches on an ongoing basis; progress reports for all first year student-athletes; meetings with academic support staff throughout the year; group and individual meetings are held with student-athletes to monitor progress and offer additional academic strategies. All student-athletes are eligible for free tutorial assistance through the Athletic Department. The tutors are undergraduate and graduate students at the University who have been recommended by their professors to tutor in a specific subject area. Student-athletes arrange tutoring sessions – with the option of individual or small groups – to accommodate their own schedules The Student-Athlete Academic Center is located in the Field House and contains new computers, study carrels and study tables. It is a quiet place for student-athletes to complete academic work before and after practice. The UNH women’s ice hockey team had a league-high 16 representa-tives on the 2012-13 Women’s Hockey East All-Academic Team. UNH has had the highest number of student-athletes named to the America East Fall Honor Roll each of the last four fall seasons and six times the last nine Fall semesters. The Wildcats have also recorded the highest percentage of student-athletes named to the Winter/Spring Honor Roll each of the last two years. UNH placed second in the 2012-13 America East Aca-demic Cup with its highest GPA in the 18-year history of the award; the ‘Cats have been runner-up three of the last four years. Five Wildcat teams were honored by the NCAA with the Public Rec-ognition Award for multiyear Academic Progress Rates (APR) in the top 10 percent of all teams in their respective sports: men’s skiing, women’s cross country, women’s indoor track & field, women’s outdoor track & field and gymnastics. Serving as Student-Athlete Support Coordinator for an 19th year is As-sistant Athletic Director Joanne Maldari, a 1990 graduate of Holy Cross who went on to earn her master’s degree in Athletic Counseling at Spring-field College. She was recognized for her outstanding efforts at UNH by receiving the University’s 2001 Academic Advising Award.

The office of Student-Athlete Development, under the leadership of Cathy Coakley since the 2008-09 academic year, exists to assist UNH stu-dent-athletes in learning and perfecting skills necessary to be successful in the classroom, on the playing field, in the University and seacoast community and in life-long endeavors. We coordinate comprehensive, sequential educational programs that enhance personal welfare and growth. In so doing, we utilize the expertise and services of many departments and organizations on campus. The Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) is a leadership group, selected by coaches and teammates, that acts as liaison between the athletic administration and student-athletes. The purpose of SAAC is to: provide communication and feedback to the athletic administration regarding student-athletes’ concerns, policies and procedures; disseminate information from the administration, campus organizations and the conference to their coaches and teammates; promote UNH Athletics in a positive way across campus, in Dur-ham and throughout the seacoast area; build “community” within the Athletic Department by involving all teams in activities, events and educational pro-grams; be a voice in the America East conference and NCAA regarding leg-islation, policy and community outreach; increase student body, faculty and staff attendance at athletic events by increasing athlete visibility and involve-ment in campus activities; organize community service projects that involve all teams, collectively and individually. UNH Wildcats also participate in various activities and events, including Wildcat Mentors, Read Across America, Athletes Supporting Athletes, Holi-day Food and Toy Drives, Hoops for Hunger, Pease Greeters, Sno-Ball, Ca-reer Planning Night and Alternative Spring Break. Coakley has an extensive career in both athletics and higher education. Be-fore her return to UNH, she was an instructor of Sports Marketing in the Kinesiology Department at James Madison University and coordinated all practicum and internships required of Sport Management majors. In that posi-tion, Coakley taught personal and professional development as well as life skills to the students (including athletes) within the major. While at JMU, she served as assistant field hockey coach from 2005-07 and helped guide the Dukes to the CAA championship and NCAA tournament appearance in 2007. Prior to her tenure at JMU, Coakley worked in collegiate basketball. She started her collegiate coaching career at UNH as an assistant under Cecelia DeMarco from 1977-79. Coakley moved on to become head coach at Ford-ham University from 1979-84 and served as an assistant at Northeastern Uni-versity from 1996-2000. Coakley earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Earth Science and her Master’s Degree in Education Administration at UNH.

The University of New Hampshire was originally founded as a land-grant col-lege whose mission was to shape and educate citizenry among the state’s farmers, business people and engineers. Today, the University is a land-, sea-, and space-grant university serving a growing undergraduate student body of about 11,942 and a graduate population of 2,257 in addition to 621 full-time faculty members, 86% of which have earned their doctorate degree. The University has grown into a top public research university occupying 2,600 acres of classic living and learning space, while still maintaining the look and feel of a New England liberal arts college with a faculty dedicated to teaching. UNH’s student to faculty ratio registers at 18:1 with 85% of its classes having 50 students or less.

History As one of the most prestigious institutions in the Northeast, the University of New Hampshire has always been recognized as a leader in education and research, spanning all fields of study and uniting them through interdisciplinary programs, labs, farms, theatres, research centers, and libraries. Founded in 1866 as the New Hampshire College of Agriculture and Mechanical Arts, UNH was among the early state institutions of higher education whose forma-tion was made possible by federal government land grants. The purpose for the grants was to establish colleges that would serve the sons and daughters of farming and laboring families. New Hampshire College was originally situated in Hanover, N.H. Here it was in connection with Dartmouth College before moving to Durham in 1893 after Benjamin Thompson bequeathed land and money to further the development of the college. The state legislature then granted its new charter as the University of New Hampshire in 1923. The University hosts 733 international students from more than 45 countries and boasts a population of students from all 50 states. Along with over 100 majors offered, UNH encompasses seven schools and colleges that undergraduates can choose from: the College of Liberal Arts, College of Engineering and Physical Sciences, School of Health and Human Services, College of Life Sciences and Agricultures, Paul College of Business and Economics, and the Thompson School of Applied Science. And at the very heart of the University’s undergraduate studies is the General Education Program. The GEP is a core program with a breadth of academic subjects that aims to acquaint the student with some of the major modes of thought necessary to understand oneself, others, society, and the world. The University prides itself as being a top 10 entrepreneurial campus (Forbes.com and The Princeton Review) and is among the top 30 universities nationally in science research funding from NASA. UNH is home to the NASA-recognized Space Science Center; the Institute for Study for Earth, Oceans and Space; and the Insti-tute of Marine Science and Engineering. The English program is staffed by an inspiring faculty of winners of the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Award, the MacArthur Fellowship, the Edgar Allen Poe Award and the Young Poets Award. In addition, the Whittemore School of Business and Economics, established in 1962, was recently selected second among all business schools in a nationwide pool of business school deans. UNH also graduates students who attend top-notch graduate schools, including Law School at Harvard and Cornell, Engineering at Stanford, and Medical School at Dartmouth, Johns Hopkins, and Harvard.

University of UNH Athletic Department Mission Statement and Diversity StatementMission statement The mission of the intercollegiate athletics program at the University of UNH is to provide student-athletes a collegiate experience that is enriched by their participa-tion in programs which are competitive at the NCAA Division I level both regionally and nationally. The intercollegiate athletics program also plays an important role by enhancing the quality of life for the University and statewide community by being a source of pride and identification with the University while always maintaining high standards of academic scholarship and integrity. To fulfill its mission, the intercollegiate program must:1. Provide student-athletes every opportunity to meet academic and athletic demands with the goal of graduating every student-athlete.2. Provide resources necessary to field competitive teams with league affiliations, and to gain regional and national recognition.3. Provide equitable opportunities for all intercollegiate athletics by the active recruitment of minority athletes, and provide equitable opportunities for all women student-athletes commensurate with that of their male counterparts.4. Provide excellent facilities for all athletes to train, practice and play.5. Conduct all operations within state and federal law, University policies, rules of the NCAA, and athletics conferences in which the University competes. Diversity statement The University seeks excellence through diversity among its administrators, faculty, staff, and students. The university prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, age, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, disability, veteran status, or marital status. The University of UNH is com-mitted to creating a more diverse community, knowing that “inclusion, diversity and equity are values inextricably linked to our mission of educational excellence.” This diversity strengthens our ability to reach our individual and collective potential and to provide better services and care for all faculty, staff, and students.

campusIn recent years, several of the athletic facilities have received major upgrades and im-provements. In September of 2001, the University completed a new $2.15 million track and field facility. The Jerry Azumah Performance Center, a strength and conditioning facility located in the UNH Field House, was dedicated on July 8, 2003. Renovations to the Center included the addition of 5,000 pounds of Olympic weights, 7,000 pounds of dumbbells, 14 Powerlift platform stations, 12 Hammer strength machines and an ad-ditional 15,000 pounds of weights. UNH athletics also added two $1.5 million outdoor artificial fields, Memorial Field and Bremner Field. Lundholm Gymnasium has received some major overhauls, including a new playing surface, new lights, new sound system, new bleacher system, new backboards and new scoreboards. The Paul Sweet Oval was also renovated to include new surfaces, lighting, painting, infrastructure upgrades and the replacement of windows that existed in the original architecture. In the 2012 offseason, Cowell Stadium was fitted with a brand new scoreboard while the football locker rooms were renovated as well. In the locker rooms, a new lighting system was installed while a 55-inch flat-screen TV and Fathead-designed murals featuring former players and UNH historical were added to the walls. A memorial of Todd Walker was also added in honor of the former Wildcat wide receiver. Walker suffered an untimely and heroic death March 18, 2011, in Boulder, Colo., when he stopped an attempted robbery and saved the life of a woman he was walking home. In November of 1995, construction of the $27 million Recreation and Sport Complex

reached completion. The Whittemore Center includes a state-of-the-art 6,500 to 7,500 seat arena for hockey, concerts and convoca-tions, as well as a new three-level recreational sports facility within the structure that had housed the old Snively Arena. In addition to the incredible improvements of its athletic facilities, the University has upgraded and renovated a large part of its aca-demic campus. Most recently, UNH unveiled the Paul College of Business and Economics, a 115,000 square foot academic building located on Garrison Avenue, in January 2013. The $50 million building is LEED “Gold” certified, a standard of environmentally friendly design and construction. The project was largely funded through private gifts, including a record-setting $25 million gift from alumnus and philanthropist Peter T. Paul, for whom the building is named. The building has 900 classroom seats with thousands of business and non-business students coming in-and-out every day. Breakout rooms equipped with video screens and recording equipment provide advanced technology to enhance the way students interact with each other, faculty and members of the business community. Its Great Hall features comfortable seating areas for studying and an on-site cafe supplies students with a convenient dining option. Thompson Hall, one of the standing historical landmarks of the University, has also been beautifully refurbished and restored. The University completed a $52 million renovation of Kingsbury Hall in October of 2007, adding 6,000 square feet of student project space for students in the College of Engineering and Physical Sciences, as well as a $4.5 million revamp of Hewitt Hall to expand the School of Health and Human Services. In addition, the 120,000 square foot Biological Sciences Building, Rudman Hall and the Spaulding Life Sciences Renovation project now provide state-of-the-art teaching and researching laboratories. The University also spent $15 million to complete Morse Hall, a new science and engineering building as well as $8.2 million to modernize the Memorial Union Building. The revision to the existing student union building consisted of several upgrades including top kitchen and dining facilities, two theaters, student mailboxes, lounges and meeting rooms, as well as additional retail spaces such as the University Bookstore. Additionally, the University completed construction of the new dining facility on Main Street, Holloway Commons, as well as the renovation of the Dimond Library. Combining the atmosphere of a small New England liberal arts college with the resources and opportunities of a major research university, the University of New Hampshire is a place where all students can find or create their own niche and succeed. While the University offers an extremely broad academic base with an inspiring faculty, it also provides students with thousands of opportunities to get involved, either through athletics, campus recreation, student life, or research. The University is a dynamic community that not only challenges its members academically but also expands their understanding and appreciation of cultural diversity and leads to incredible growth as students, faculty, staff, and as a community.

dr. MarK HuddleSton PreSident Mark W. Huddleston was elected the 19th president of the University of New Hampshire in July 2007, bring-ing three decades of experience in public and private education as a faculty member, dean and senior administra-tor. At UNH, President Huddleston oversees the implementation of a strategic plan that is transforming the Uni-versity’s mission as the state’s flagship public research university and one the nation’s few land-, sea- and space-grant universities. Created through a collaboration of faculty, students, staff, alumni and the University’s wider communities, this effort challenges the University to be innovative, entrepreneurial and responsive so that it can remain vital and financially sustainable. The plan continues to guide the University’s diverse work, from its response to a historic cut in state support in 2011 to the creation of groundbreaking new initiatives. Among these are: • the integration of UNH and the UNH School of Law (formerly Franklin Pierce Law Center),

• an expansion of the UNH Manchester campus and the creation of the Emerging Technology Center, • the construction of the Peter T. Paul College of Business and Economics, • UNH’s participation in an agreement to double the number of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) graduates by 2025, • and the development of a comprehensive fundraising campaign. President Huddleston has also advocated for a dramatic increase in international engagement. In 2010, UNH launched the state’s only Confucius Institute with a partnership with Chengdu University, entered a partnership with Navitas, an Australian firm that recruits and sup-ports international students, and celebrated the 25th anniversary of the International Affairs Dual Major. In May 2013, President Huddleston’s leadership as a strategic thinker, fiscal steward and collaborative problem-solver was recognized with his appointment to the newly formed Governor’s Commission on State Government Innovation, Efficiency and Transparency. President Huddleston was raised in Syracuse, N.Y., and was the first member of his family to attend college. He earned his bachelor’s degree in political science from the State University of New York-Buffalo, and both a master’s degree and Ph.D. in political science from the University of Wisconsin–Madison. He began his academic career at SUNY-Buffalo in 1977 as an assistant professor of political science. In 1980, he joined the faculty of the University of Delaware, where he served 24 years. There, he chaired the Department of Political Science and International Relations and was associate provost for international programs. In 2001, he was named dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, overseeing 45 academic departments and centers, and serving in that capacity until he was named president of ohio Wesleyan University in 2004. An author of numerous books and articles, he has been a consultant for both the U.S. government and international organizations. He also served as an adviser in Bosnia on rebuilding financial and administrative infrastructures after the Dayton accords. President Huddleston is an incorporator of the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation and serves on the board of directors of the New Hampshire Business Com-mittee for the Arts. He and his wife, Emma Bricker, have three children, Andy, Kate and Giles.

Marty SCarano direCtor of atHletiCS The 2013-14 academic year will mark the 14th year Marty Scarano will serve as the Director of Athletics at the University of New Hampshire. During his tenure, Scarano has heightened national exposure for UNH athletics with academics, facility renovations and programmatic advancement being top priorities. His many accomplishments have played a key role in UNH being named one of the Top 20 Athletic Departments in the Country in U.S. News and World Report college athletics rankings. The Graduation Success Rate (GSR) of UNH athletes during the 2012-13 academic year was 87 percent amongst 20 var-sity sports. Additionally, the NCAA honored five Wildcat teams – men’s skiing, women’s cross country, women’s indoor track & field, women’s outdoor track & field and gymnastics – that scored a perfect Academic Progress Rate (APR) of 1,000. Men’s soccer and women’s lacrosse were ranked at the top in America East with scores of 985 and 991, respectively. The football and men’s ice hockey teams were runners up in their respective conferences with scores of 991 and 978. Women’s swimming & diving posted the second highest score amongst all New Hampshire sports with a 994 mark. In the America East Academic Cup, UNH finished second for the third time in the last four years, achieving a 3.18 cumu-lative GPA. It is UNH’s highest GPA in the 18-year history of the award. New Hampshire led all institutions with 108 student-athletes on the 2012 America East Fall Academic Honor Roll while earning the highest percentage of student-athletes named to the 2012-13 America East Winter/Spring Academic Honor Roll. New Hampshire had 155 honorees, which represented 72

percent of the student-athletes who competed in those seasons. Scarano has helped elevate UNH athletics into the collegiate national arena. To accomplish that goal, the University has taken on the task of hosting major NCAA championships. The Wildcat athletic department has played host to highly successful NCAA Men’s Ice Hockey Northeast Regionals at the Verizon Wireless Arena (Manchester, N.H.) in 2004, 2007, 2009, 2011 and 2013. UNH was host of the NCAA Women’s Ice Hockey Frozen Four at the Whittemore Center in 2002 and 2005. In addition, UNH successfully hosted the 2007 NCAA Skiing Championships in Washington Valley as well as the 2005 NCAA Women’s Gymnastics Northeast Regional at the Whittemore Center Arena. The women’s hockey team also played in the first outdoor game in the history of NCAA women’s hockey in 2010 at the Sun Life Frozen Fenway game and defeated Northeastern while the men’s squad played in the 2012 Sun Life Frozen Fenway game against Maine. Football also competed in Colonial Clash games at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass. in 2010 and 2011 against UMass. During Scarano’s tenure, UNH teams have made 44 NCAA postseason appearances and captured 14 conference titles. Gymnastics has participated in 12 NCAA tournaments, leading all programs over that span. Men’s hockey holds a pair of Hockey East titles and has made 11 trips to the NCAA tournament, including Frozen Four appearances in 2002 and 2003. The football program has qualified for the NCAA FCS postseason for a nation leading nine consecutive seasons and advanced to the quarterfinals six times during the streak. Women’s ice hockey has seen NCAA action five times with two Frozen Four appear-ances. The squad also captured consecutive Hockey East championships from 2006-09. The field hockey team captured its second ever America East crown in 2011 en route to its second national tournament appearance under Scarano’s tutelage. Volleyball has made a pair of NCAA appearances after capturing back-to-back conference titles in 2002 and 2003. Women’s lacrosse has too earned a pair of NCAA berths (2004, 2008), one coming after an America East championship victory in 2004. Additionally, 24 head or assistant coaches have won 65 “Coach of the Year” awards during Scarano’s tenure, ranging from conference to regional to national – head football coach Sean McDonnell garnered the Eddie Robinson National Coach of the Year by The Sports Network in 2005 after a stellar 11-2 campaign. There has been over $10 million in capital improvements since Scarano’s hiring in the summer of 2000. Recently, the athletic training room was com-pletely renovated during the winter break of the 2012-13 academic year. With a redesigned layout, energy efficient lighting and state-of-the art equipment, the athletic training room is larger, more comfortable, enjoyable and efficient for student-athletes and staff. Last year, a new scoreboard was put in at Cowell Stadium while the football locker room received a facelift as part the most recent renovation phase. Changes to the locker room included a new lighting system while a 55-inch flat-screen TV and Fathead-designed murals featuring former players and UNH historical images were added to the walls. A memorial of Todd Walker was also added in honor of the former Wildcat wide receiver who suffered an untimely and heroic death in March of 2011. In the summer of 2007, the Cowell Stadium grass field was replaced with a $1 million Field Turf synthetic surface. As part of a $650,000 renovation project in the summer of 2011, the field turf at Bremner Field was replaced with a new state-of-the-art surface used by many varsity teams and for student recreational activities. In the fall of 2008, the Paul Sweet oval renovation was completed to include new surfaces, lighting, painting, infrastructure upgrades and the replacement of windows that existed in the original architecture. The total cost of the project exceeded $500,000. Ad-ditionally in 2007, a complete renovation of Lundholm Gymnasium was undertaken. The $600,000 overhaul included a new state-of-the-art bleacher system, new scoreboards, competition baskets and other aesthetic enhancements.

and fitness; activities; ex-isting space deficiencies; the inadequacy of Snively Arena as a hockey facility and the need for a quality campus events center. The three-floor recre-ation facility eliminated the space deficiency and gave the entire student population ample health and fitness opportunities.

The 6,501-seat hockey arena known as Towse Rink was designed for easy conversion to a 7,500-seat facility for revenue-producing concerts, exhibitions and other events. With its seating capacity of 6,501, the Whittemore Center nearly doubled the size of Snively Arena. The hockey rink became the sixth in the nation to feature an olympic-sized ice surface (200’x100’) instead of the standard 200’x85’ (Snively’s dimensions).

While the Univer-sity of New Hampshire Wildcat hockey teams endured a long season on the road in 1994-95, the sacrifice was worth it. The future of Wildcat hockey is the brightest it has ever been. In Septem-ber 1994, the University System of New Hamp-shire trustees voted in favor of construction of a $26.5 million arena and recreation complex, and in just over one year, the project reached frui-tion. The Whittemore Center opened November 10, 1995 with the Wildcat men’s team upsetting defending national cham-pion Boston University, 6-5 in overtime. The arena brings the University’s athletic facilities to a state-of-the-art level and positions UNH as a leader among the region’s colleges and universities. In addition to the athletic arena created by the project, Snively Arena, the former hockey rink, was converted into a recreational sports facility. Coupled with the Memorial Union building and Dimond Library renovations, the project has transformed the quality of student life on the UNH campus. A variety of reasons created the demand for such a facili-ty on the Durham campus: the growing value placed on health

Towse Rink• 6,501-seat capacity for hockey and up to 7,200 for concerts and similar events. A total of 4,300 of the seats feature backs with arm rests on each side. The remaining seats have molded bottoms.• A bowl configuration. Fans enter at a concourse level and move down to their seats.• An olympic-size ice surface (200’x100’) for hockey.• Four concession areas (each 250 sq. feet) and six rest room facilities (two 1,125 sq. feet; four 850 sq. feet).• A main lobby (3,800 sq. feet) and a public skating lobby (850 sq. feet).• A pro shop (200 sq. feet) and ticket office (200 sq. feet).• Men’s and women’s hockey coaches’ offices (175 sq. feet).• Men’s and women’s hockey locker rooms (1,200 sq. feet).• Training room (450 sq. feet), weight room (600 sq. feet) and meeting room (800 sq. feet).• Center-hung scoreboard and end-rink messageboard.

histoRY As women’s ice hockey steadily expanded from its original status as an emerging sport to its cur-rent status as an established NCAA championship sport, it became apparent that Hockey East should seriously consider sponsoring a separate league to accommodate its five member schools that initially had varsity programs for women: Boston College, Maine, New Hampshire, Northeastern and Provi-dence. The uncertainty remained until a split in the Eastern College Athletic Conference grouped the five aforementioned programs into a separate league, the ECAC Women’s Eastern League, along with three other unaffiliated programs. Seeking league solidarity, administrators from the five Hockey East institutions acted. In September of 2001, the long-incubated idea became a reality when the athletic directors voted to found the new women’s league under the existing Hockey East banner, with play scheduled to begin no later than the 2004-05 season. The five schools with varsity programs entered as charter members with the stipulation that any other Hockey East school that added a varsity women’s program in the future would be freely admitted to the league. Expediting the process in the interests of the participating teams, the league and the sport itself, Commissioner Joe Bertagna worked with a selected task force to successfully prepare the Hockey East women’s league for launch in the 2002-03 season, two years ahead of schedule. An important part of that process was the acceptance of an invitation extended to the University of Connecticut to join the newly formed league as its sixth active mem-ber. The triumphant effort immediately afforded the participating administrators a stronger voice in the advancement of their women’s ice hockey programs and alleviated the ECAC of continuing the maintenance of the Women’s Eastern League. Players, fans, coaches and administrators alike were all anticipating the intensified competition created by the new circle of teams that were already familiar rivals. In 2005, the Women’s Hockey East Association welcomed the addition of two more teams – Boston University and the University of Vermont – to its growing family. For BU, it marked the inaugural season for women’s hockey as a varsity sport. The league athletic directors voted in June 2012 to expand the playoff format and now all eight teams qualify for the playoffs, as opposed to six and four in previous seasons. Although the Women’s Hockey East Association is still relatively young, its member programs have storied histories that include several champion-ships and individual awards at the highest levels of play. The first 13 ECAC championships were shared among New Hampshire, Northeastern and Providence. Northeastern forward Brooke Whitney was named the recipient of the 2002 Patty Kazmaier Award as the nation’s top female collegiate player, an honor first won by New Hampshire’s Brandy Fisher in 1998. Had the award been in existence beforehand, it surely would have been won at some point by Cammi Granato, a three-time ECAC

The Women’s Hockey East Association cel-ebrates its 12th season of play after officially commencing league action in the fall of 2002. In 11 years, the conference has emerged as one of the top women’s ice hockey conferences in the nation, having sent eight teams to the Frozen Four and 15 teams to the NCAA Tournament. That includes one of the most successful seasons in 2012-2013, when Boston University and Bos-ton College advanced to the Frozen Four with the Terriers making the league’s third appearance in the NCAA national championship game. In 2013, the Boston University Terriers captured their third Hockey East tournament title in the last four years against Northeastern University. BU was presented with the newly named Bertagna Trophy – in honor of the con-ference’s founding Commissioner Joe Bertagna – as the Hockey East tournament champions at the Hyannis Youth and Community Center. The Terriers also earned their second regular-season championship in school history with a 18-2-1 record in league games. BC swept the three major awards at the post-season awards banquet, with Alex Carpenter winning Player of the Year, Haley Skarupa earning Rookie of the Year honors and Katie King Crowley taking home the Coach of the Year trophy for the first time in her coaching career. Ninety-two student-athletes were named to the league’s 2012-13 All-Academic Team. Each student-athlete achieved a grade point average of 3.0 or better in each of the academic periods during which she actively competed. Vermont junior Megan Dalbec and Maine sophomore Kate Massey shared the distinction as Hockey East Top-Scholar Athlete for the second straight season, as the duo earned perfect 4.0 GPA’s for the season. The league also feted a league record 10 student-athletes with “Distinguished Scholar” status. Those honorees achieved a 3.0 or better every semester over four varsity seasons. North-eastern led the way with three selections, while BU and Providence College placed two amongst the select group. New Hampshire’s Katie Brock was also bestowed the prestigious honor. In February 2007, the league debuted its inaugural “Skating Strides Against Breast Cancer.” The one-day event was hosted by Hockey East schools as a way to establish a greater fan base, raise needed funds, and work with the specific charities to raise awareness for both the league and the specific cause. In the initial year, close to $20,000 was donated to local breast cancer charities (Friends of Mel’s Foundation and the American Cancer Society), vastly exceeding expectations. Last year the league raised $30,000 to bring the seven-year total to nearly $230,000. “Skating Strides” has won two national awards at NACMA in the “Single Day Attendance Promotion” category in 2007 and 2009. The eighth annual “Skating Strides Against Breast Cancer” will have an event on every WHEA campus this season, as well as participation by all of the Hockey East men’s teams over the course of two weekends.

Player of the Year who led Providence to back-to-back championships in 1992 and 1993. Five years later, in 1998, alongside nine other alums of what are now Hockey East programs, Granato captained Team USA to the olympic gold medal during the first olympic tournament that featured women’s ice hockey as a medal sport. Granato was inducted into the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame in october of 2010 for her contributions to the sport. Beginning in 2009, the WHEA athletic directors voted to honor the league Player of the Year with the Cammi Granato Award. Perhaps the proudest legacy that the Women’s Hockey East Association has established is the Hockey Humanitarian Award. The most pres-tigious off-ice honor, and arguably the highest overall honor in the sport, the Hockey Humani-tarian Award recognizes college hockey’s finest citizen each year and encompasses both male and female athletes in all divisions. Its winners have demonstrated outstanding contributions to society through leadership in charity work and volunteerism. Northeastern senior forward Missy Elumba was the 2009 recipient, as the fifth Hockey East student-athlete to receive the prestigious honor. Elumba was the 14th all-time recipient and joined former Husky goaltender Chanda Gunn, who received the award in 2004, as the second athlete in Northeastern women’s hockey history. BC’s Sarah Carlson received it in 2005, making Women’s Hockey East the first league to boast back-to-back winners.

The Patty Kazmaier Memorial Award, an honor established by USA Hockey, is bestowed annually to the most outstanding collegiate women’s ice hockey player. The Award was created in conjunction with the American Women’s College Hockey Alliance national champi-onship, which originated in 1998. Each year, a committee nominates 10 candidates and a separate committee selects three finalists from that pool of candidates. That committee then decides which finalist will receive the honor as most outstanding collegiate player in the nation. UNH was the only women’s ice hockey program to have a candidate in each of the first five years the award was presented. The 2003 season marked the first time that a Wildcat was not in consideration as a candidate. In the initial three years (1998-2000), a University of New Hampshire player was selected among the finalists. In 1998, Brandy Fisher led the nation in scoring, the ‘Cats to a national championship and was honored as the inaugural recipient of the Patty Kazmaier Memorial Award. In 1999, both Nicki Luongo and Carisa Zaban were named candidates and Luongo was named a finalist. In 2000, Zaban was once again selected as a candidate and was voted as a finalist. Michelle Thornton was named one of the 10 candidates in 2001; Kira Misikowetz (‘02), Nicole Hekle (‘06), Martine Garland (‘07 & ‘08), Sam Faber (‘08) and Jenn Wakefield (‘09) have received that same distinction.

Brandy Fisher1998 Recipient Fisher broke the UNH single-season records for both goals and points as she led the nation in goals (42), assists (39), points (81) and power-play goals (11) in

the 1998 season. Fisher recorded a point in 30 of 38 games, including 25 multiple-point games. Season high-lights included her 100th career goal, 100th career assist and 200th career point. In her final collegiate game, Fisher led UNH to the inaugural national championship with a 4-1 victory against Brown at the FleetCenter (Boston, Mass.). Other honors bestowed Fisher in the 1998 season included AWCHA All-America, AWCHA All-Tournament Team, New England College Hockey Player of the Year and ECAC Player of the Year.

Kira Misikowetz2002 Nominee Misikowetz, a senior forward, led UNH in both points (39) and assists (25)

and was third in goals with 14. Season highlights included her 100th career point and a five-assist performance against Quinnipiac University. In two seasons at UNH, Misikowetz compiled 28 goals and 39 assists for 67 points in 70 games. Other honors for Misikowetz in 2002 included ECAC Eastern League All-Conference Second Team and ECAC Eastern League All-Academic Squad.

Nicki Luongo1999 Finalist Luongo finished her senior year of 1999 sixth on the team in scoring – first among defensemen – with 45 points and ranked second with 29 assists, as
