Dartmouth will honor Gaudet on Saturday, January 28 when the Big Green take on Colgate
HANOVER, N.H. – The Big Green men's hockey team returns home to the friendly confines of Thompson Arena, taking on Cornell Friday night and Colgate the following evening. Saturday night fans will be treated to a special evening with Dartmouth Athletics and the men's hockey program celebrating long-time coach and Big Green alum Bob Gaudet '81.
Gaudet coached more than 1,000 games during a 32-year span as a head coach. He spent nine seasons at the helm at Brown before taking over at his alma mater prior to the 1997-98 season, leading the program for the next 23 seasons.
Gaudet finished his tenure at Dartmouth as the program's all-team leader in wins (331) and games coached (752). He became the winningest coach in the history of Dartmouth hockey with his 309th victory behind the bench against No. 16 Cornell on Nov. 30, 2018, passing the legendary Eddie Jeremiah '30, who had owned the record for more than a half century. The previous season, Gaudet won his 300th game at Dartmouth by defeating No. 7 Clarkson and joining Jeremiah as the only two coaches in program history to reach the milestone.
A member of the New Hampshire Legends of Hockey Hall of Fame Class of 2018, Gaudet became the 23rd Division I coach in history to win his 400th career game when Dartmouth beat No. 15 Quinnipiac on Nov. 3, 2018.
He coached in his 1,000th career game as Dartmouth defeated Princeton on January 3, 2020. In doing so, he became just the seventh coach in NCAA hockey history to reach 1,000 games within one conference and the first in the long and storied ranks of ECAC Hockey.
A former Dartmouth goaltender, Gaudet led his team to a pair of Frozen Four appearances in 1979 and 1980 in Detroit and Providence. Following his playing career at Dartmouth, he signed a pro contract with the Winnipeg Jets and played in their minor league system before returning to Hanover to start his coaching career as an assistant under former head coaches George Crowe and Brian Mason.
There will be numerous promotions throughout the game. To purchase tickets, please visit the Dartmouth Ticket Office website by clicking HERE.
