“We are thrilled to have Dana Borges join the Colgate men’s hockey staff,” said Colgate head coach Don Vaughan in a statement. “He is a rising star in the college hockey world and one of the brightest young minds in the game. His innovative approach to the sport and his exceptional communication skills are just a couple of the qualities that stood out during the interview process.”<\/p>\n
Borges served as the Raiders volunteer assistant coach for the 2016-17 season.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe is also someone who knows our student athletes well since he served as our volunteer assistant coach for the 2016-17 season,\u201d added Vaughan. \u201cHe gained first-hand experience and an inside look at the Colgate hockey culture, and perhaps most importantly, he learned from his time here just what it takes to be a successful Colgate student-athlete. This will serve him well on the recruiting trail and we expect that he will hit the ground running.”<\/p>\n
Most recently, Borges joined the Alaska Anchorage program as an assistant coach from June 2018 through August 2018.<\/p>\n
Prior to Anchorage, Borges spent the 2017-18 season at Williams as an assistant coach.<\/p>\n
\u201cColgate fosters a mindset of excellence on and off the ice,\u201d Borges said. \u201cI am grateful to be working with the student-athletes, staff, faculty, and Colgate hockey community that embody this mindset. Thank you Coach Vaughan for affording me this opportunity. It\u2019s great to be back.\u201d<\/p>\n
