David Cataruzolo, a 1998 graduate of Bowdoin College, enters his third season as Trinity men's ice hockey head coach, followed a NESCAC Championship season with a second straight NESCAC Semifinal appearance after a 16-9 season.  In his rookie year at the helm, the Bantams earned their second NCAA Championship win in the team's history, and a spot in the NCAA Division III Quarterfinals. Now in his 12th year at the College, including six as associate head coach, Cataruzolo has helped guide Trinity to unprecedented heights, including nine consecutive NESCAC Tournaments, two league titles, three trips to the NCAA Division III Championship Tournament, and an NCAA Final Four appearance in 2005. Three Trinity players have been named to the American Hockey Coaches Association (AHCA) Division III All-American Team in the last five years under Cataruzolo's tutelage.

Cataruzolo coached the Bantam forwards and served as the program's recruiting coordinator from 1998 to 2007, after a fine playing career as an ice hockey and baseball star at league rival Bowdoin. Captain of both teams as a senior, Cataruzolo earned All-NESCAC honors in each and is a member of both Bowdoin's 100-point club on the ice (126) and 100-hit club (128) on the diamond. Also 13-3 as a pitcher for the Polar Bears, Cataruzolo served as an assistant baseball coach at Trinity in 1999, 2000, and 2005, helping that team to the NCAA Tournament in all three seasons and to the NCAA Division III World Series in 2005.

Cataruzolo, who earned a master's degree from Trinity in public policy in 2001, is a member of the American Hockey Coaches Association. He is heavily involved in USA Hockey, coaching the New England District Selects at the 14-year old and 16-year old levels. Originally from Watertown, Mass., Cataruzolo currently resides in Granby, Conn., with his wife, Courtney.
