He will also serve as Westfield&#8217;s manger of athletic facilities. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is a great opportunity for me and I am going to make the most of it,&#8221; said Miele in an official school release.  &#8220;I&#8217;ve worked with these guys for nearly two years and I am honored to be their coach.  My main goal is to keep the program moving.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Miele, a 2002 graduate, played collegiate hockey at Amherst (NESCAC).  He was named ECAC East\/NESCAC Rookie of the Year in 1999 and led the Lord Jeffs in points as a sophomore.  He played 105 games in his career, tallying 50 goals and 55 assists. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Bob has an outstanding hockey pedigree and brings continuity, integrity, a strong worth ethic, and the desire to lead our program,&#8221; said Westfield&#8217;s athletic director Richard Lenfest.<\/p>\n<p>Westfield begins play in the newly-formed MASCAC this season after finishing with a 11-9-4 record as a member of the ECAC Northeast a year ago.
