David Berard was interim head coach at Connecticut for most of the 2012-13 season (photo: Melissa Wade).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Berard was the coordinator of men’s hockey operations at Providence<\/a> last season after serving as the interim coach at UConn<\/a> for most of the 2012-13 season following Bruce Marshall’s leave of absence and subsequent resignation.<\/p>\n

He was an assistant at Providence from 1994 to 1996 and from 1998 to 2011. In between those two stints, he was an assistant at Lake Superior State for two seasons.<\/p>\n

“I am honored to have the opportunity to be the next head hockey coach at Holy Cross,” said Berard in a statement. “I want to thank [Holy Cross director of athletics] Nate Pine for his confidence in me to lead the program into a new era. I am excited to build a championship-level program that attracts talented, hard-working student-athletes who relentlessly pursue academic and athletic excellence. Holy Cross is a special place. I am excited to be a part of such a prestigious academic institution that fosters the personal growth and development of each of our student-athletes. I look forward to building upon the rich tradition of the program and using it as a foundation to win championships. I share in Nate’s vision for the future and I am thrilled to be a Crusader.”<\/p>\n

“I am excited to welcome David Berard to Holy Cross and to have him join our outstanding team of coaches,” added Pine. “His wealth of experience as a head coach, assistant and player along with his proven track record of success makes him the perfect person to lead Holy Cross men’s ice hockey. I am certain that our program and our student-athletes will prosper under his guidance.”<\/p>\n

After leading UConn to a 16-8-3 record as interim head coach, he was considered for the full-time position<\/a> that ended up going to Mike Cavanaugh.<\/p>\n

A goaltender in his playing days at Providence, Berard was a member of one of the most successful classes to wear a Friar uniform, amassing a total of 87 wins over their four-year career. Berard was a member of three teams that reached the Hockey East tournament semifinals and two teams that qualified for the NCAA tournament.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
