The coach of the two-time defending Division III women’s national championship team has resigned.<\/p>\n
Jamie Wood will move back to Canada to join the staff of the Warner Hockey School in Alberta, where he’ll develop a program for high-school-age girls.<\/p>\n
Wood had been at Elmira for three years, coming on a year before the team began varsity play, then guided the Eagles to a 50-5-3 record and national championships in 2002 and 2003.<\/p>\n
Wood told the Elmira Star-Gazette<\/em> that he had turned down offers from Division I schools.<\/p>\n “I did have some offers from Division I, and I have no doubt that I can coach at that level,” Wood told the Star-Gazette<\/em>. “But [Warner]gave me everything I wanted. This job is the equivalent of a Division I job with the deal I got.”<\/p>\n Players found out Monday afternon. All-America forward Laura Hurd told the Star-Gazette<\/em> she was in “complete shock. Nobody expected a coach to leave after winning two national championships,” she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Jamie Wood shocks Elmira, leaving the program he started and won two national championships with.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":140328,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"coauthors":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
