Head Men's Hockey Coach David McCauley Named Edward Jeremiah Award Finalist

PAXTON, MA. - Anna Maria College men's ice hockey head coach David McCauley was named one of 12 finalists for the 2023-24 Edward Jeremiah Award, given annually to the Division II-III Men's Ice Hockey Coach of the Year.

The award was named after the former Dartmouth head coach. The award will  be announced on Wednesday, March 20 in Hartford, Conn. as Trinity College will be hosting the NCAA Men's Division III Men's Ice Hockey Championships.

McCauley and his AMCATS finished the season with a record of 15-9-1 which was the best record in the programs history. The AMCATS had some notable wins this season, taking down Division I Stonehill 4-2, as well as a 4-1 win over MASCAC Champions, Plymouth State. 

This past season, McCauley coached the Division III Independent Rookie of the Year, Matthew Hennessey while also having four players named to the All-Independent team this season.

The nominees represent any coach who won or shared Coach of the Year honors in his conference this past season, along with coaches whose teams advanced to the NCAA Men's Division III Ice Hockey Championships to be hosted by Trinity College this weekend.
