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.
