In Wednesday’s column, I took a moment to celebrate Colgate head coach Don Vaughan’s landmark 300th win, which came on Friday at Brown. I also made sure to acknowledge the other active 300-win mentors of ECAC Hockey, in St. Lawrence’s Joe Marsh (469 wins), Cornell’s Mike Schafer (314); and Dartmouth’s Bob Gaudet, who won No. 300 two weekends ago and has since improved to 302. <\/p>\n

I clearly didn’t spend enough time combing the records, because I overlooked another completely active, assuredly successful coach with more career wins than Vaughan, Gaudet or even Schafer: second in the league in career wins among active coaches, Quinnipiac’s Rand Pecknold (324 victories) is also second among that group in career winning percentage (.588, trailing only Schafer’s .628). <\/p>\n

Pecknold, now 18 years into his tenure at the only program he’s ever led, has earned every inch of his status as the 10th-most-victorious active D-I coach, only four wins behind Notre Dame’s Jeff Jackson. The Bobcats haven’t suffered a sub-.500 season in 15 years and counting under Pecknold, a streak that has survived Quinnipiac’s jump to D-I in 1999, the program’s transition from the late MAAC to Atlantic Hockey in 2003, and its acceptance into the ECAC two years later. <\/p>\n

The absolutely outstanding players he has guided, the stellar student-athletes, and the truly good citizens of the world who spent four years under his tutelage are too numerous to count, but they – and any team he’s ever coached against – can attest to the fact that 18 years is a lot to overlook. Especially Rand Pecknold’s 18 years. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
