Dartmouth coach Bob Gaudet graduated from the school in 1981 after nearly calling it quits as a freshman goalie some 40 years ago (photo: Shelley M. Szwast).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Whether as a player or a coach, Dartmouth hockey has been a big part of Bob Gaudet\u2019s life for the better part of the last 40 years.<\/p>\n

But his time in Hanover got off to an inauspicious start during his freshman year.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I was a JV goalie, I called my dad disgruntled from the payphone in the dorm,\u201d said Gaudet. \u201cWhat he said took me aback \u2013 \u2018play better and show them.\u2019 There was none of this calling the coach — he wasn\u2019t one of those helicopter parents. He wasn\u2019t going to fight my battles but he was going to support me. It was such good advice.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gaudet, who is entering his 22nd season as the head coach of the Big Green, recalled that moment Sunday during his induction into the New Hampshire Legends of Hockey Hall of Fame, taking particular time to thank his parents for their encouragement throughout his career.<\/p>\n

His father, Dan, and mother, Mary, along with his oldest sister Kathy, who Gaudet called \u201cmy hero,\u201d all made the trip for the event and were among the many family and former teammates in attendance.<\/p>\n

His father\u2019s advice worked, as Gaudet finished his playing career with a school-record 2,129 saves and helped Dartmouth to an NCAA Frozen Four appearance. After a short professional career, Gaudet spent 1983-88 as an assistant coach for the Big Green, before taking the head coaching job at Brown for nine years.<\/p>\n

He returned to Dartmouth as head coach prior to the start of the 1997-98 season.<\/p>\n

Gaudet enters this season with 305 wins with the Big Green, three behind the school record held by Eddie Jeremiah.<\/p>\n

\u201cWay back when I was coming out of Saugus High School, I was fortunate enough to have the chance to go to Dartmouth. It\u2019s just incredible to think the doors that it opened for me in my life,\u201d said Gaudet, who met his wife at the school and saw his three children, Joe, Jim, and Kelly, attend Dartmouth. Joe and Jim both played for their father, while Kelly was a goalie in high school and graduated from Dartmouth in 2017.<\/p>\n

The connections didn\u2019t end there, though.<\/p>\n

Former Dartmouth teammate Rich Ryserson was among those inducted into the hall on Sunday, along with former University of New Hampshire goalie Brian Foster, who Gaudet coached on the New England team for USA Hockey. Foster also played junior hockey with Joe Gaudet on the New Hampshire Jr. Monarchs.<\/p>\n

Getting a chance to coach both his sons has been one of the highlights for Gaudet. But he also touched on the connections he has built with his players over the years.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou work with a group of guys and invariably they become friends,\u201d Gaudet said of his former players. \u201cYou go to weddings, see kids, and have guys come back to help our current team. Being in the midst of [coaching], you lose sight of that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Former University of New Hampshire coach Dick Umile, a member of the hall of fame himself, was the keynote speaker at Gaudet\u2019s induction.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was wonderful in his own way,\u201d Gaudet said of Umile, who spent 28 years as head coach at UNH and is also a member of the state\u2019s hockey hall of fame. \u201dHe has such a personality and people just really love him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gaudet said having his family and so many people with connections to his hockey career come together helped him pause and reflect back on his career, something he admits is hard to do when getting caught up in the day-to-day routine of coaching.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve still got a lot of jump left,\u201d Gaudet said, as Dartmouth prepares to open its season Saturday against Harvard. \u201cHopefully, I can influence and help these kids.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
