It was announced on Wednesday that women's hockey head coach Bob Deraney will be an assistant coach for USA Hockey's first-ever Women's Under-18 Select Team.
The first event for the U-18 squad will be the Women's National Festival from August 14-20 in Lake Placid, New York. Next, the U-18 National Team will play a three game series against Canada from August 22-26 in Ottawa. Then, in early January, the U-18 squad will play for the world championship. Sites and dates for the world championship will be released at a future date.
Deraney, who first coached for the USA Hockey program at the 1998 Women's Festival, will serve as an assistant coach for Katey Stone, who is the current head coach of the Harvard University women's ice hockey team. Erin Whitten Hamlen, associate head coach of the women's ice hockey team at the University of New Hampshire, will be the other assistant coach for the U-18 squad.
Deraney took over the Friar program in 1999. He has led the the Friars to the post season in each of his eight seasons, and has captured four league tournament championships, including the 2003, 2004, and 2005 HOCKEY EAST Championships. In 2005, his Friars became the first team in the history of the program to compete in the NCAA Tournament.
