Renault spent the previous two seasons as an assistant at LIU.
PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Providence College women's ice hockey coach Matt Kelly announced today (June 21) that Nicole Renault will be joining the Friars' staff as an Assistant Coach.
Renault spent the last two seasons as an assistant coach at Long Island University, including the program's inaugural season in 2019-20. Despite the Shark's first-year status, Renault helped to guide LIU to the NEWHA Championship. In 2020-21, the Sharks were repeat winners of the NEWHA Commissioner's Cup in an abbreviated series due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Renault assisted in all areas of the program, including team development, individual skill development, defensive management, video analysis, team operations and recruiting.
Before LIU, Renault spent two years as an assistant coach at NCAA Division III Nichols College. During her tenure at Nichols the team set the program record for wins in a season and helped guide the Bison to their first playoff win (2018).
A 2016 graduate of Syracuse University, Renault played in 145 games for the Orange. During her career she recorded 18 goals and 58 assists and served as assistant captain in her final two seasons. Renault opened her collegiate career as a unanimous selection to the CHA All-Rookie Team and claimed First Team All-CHA honors in each of her next three seasons with the Orange. Renault also was named CHA Defenseman of the Year as a senior in 2016.
Following graduation from Syracuse, Renault continued her playing career in the European Women's Hockey League (EWHL) on the EV Bozen 84 Eagles. During her time with the Eagles, she helped the team achieve a regular-season and playoff championship.
"We are very excited to add someone like Nicole to our program," Kelly said. "Not only did she have an incredible playing career, but she is a great up and coming coach. As I went through this process, people kept raving about Nicole's work ethic, passion for the game and incredible knowledge of the game. Nicole will be a great asset to our team as we enter the 2021-2022 season."
During the 2020-21 campaign, the Friars qualified for the NCAA Tournament for the second time in program history. Providence College posted a 12-8-1 overall record, including a 10-6-1 mark in Hockey East. The Friars defeated Boston University and Maine in the Hockey East Tournament, advancing to the association's Championship Game for the first time since 2012.
