Wentworth fired Bill Bowes<\/a>. He coached the Leopards to the ECAC Northeast tournament championship and a berth in the NCAA Tournament. Wentworth lost to Middlebury in the Division III quarterfinals.<\/p>\nDeptula, 26, becomes Wentworth’s fourth head coach since the team was elevated to varsity standing in 1992. He played hockey at Wentworth for four years, graduating in 2000 with a Bachelor’s degree in Management of Technology.<\/p>\n
Deptula then became an assistant coach under Bowes. The Leopards reached the ECAC Northeast finals in 2001 and won the conference championship in 2002 and 2003.<\/p>\n
“My love for Wentworth and its hockey program is abundant,” said Deptula. “I am hoping that the team and I can continue to achieve great things on and off the ice.”<\/p>\n
Deptula is a native of Anchorage, Alaska. During his 94-game career, he scored 23 goals and had 35 assists for 58 points, tied for 12th all-time. He was twice the recipient of the “Leopard Award,” which goes to the team’s unsung hero.<\/p>\n
In addition to his coaching duties, Deptula will serve as the department’s strength and conditioning coach, assisting all of Wentworth’s student-athletes with in- and out-of-season conditioning activities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
