| Family Affair: Head Coaching Duties For Hockey Move To Another Wood! Boys hockey is keeping it in the family. The Athletic Department would like to congratulate Dan Wood, who has taken over the Stevenson Boys Hockey Program. He will serve as the varsity head coach, as well as a member of the hockey board in the capacity of hockey director. Wood, formerly an assistant coach with the program, takes over for his brother Tom Wood, who led the Patriots to a state championship last year. Tom Wood took over for father Jim Wood. With ample experience in coaching, primarily at the varsity level, Dan Wood has been instrumental in the growth of the strength and conditioning portions of the program. Additionally, his expertise also encompasses video analysis, scouting and budgeting. Wood was an integral part of the success of the program over the last decade, notably the 2018 AHAI State Runner-Up finish, the 2022 AHAI State Championship and the 2023 AHAI Final Four. |
