LEOMINSTER HIGH SCHOOL ANNOUNCES FRANK MOONEY AS THE NEW VARSITY BOYS’ HOCKEY COACH

The Leominster High School Athletic Department is proud to announce the hiring of Frank Mooney as the head varsity boys’ hockey coach.  Mooney has served as the Blue Devils’ junior varsity coach for the past three years and has been a mathematics teacher at Leominster High School since the fall of 2016.  Mooney is a graduate of Lincoln-Sudbury High School where he was a four-year member of the hockey team there.  Mooney graduated from Stonehill College in 2016.

“We are tremendously excited to have Frank as our new hockey coach here at Leominster High School,” Athletic Director Dave Palazzi said.  “Frank’s passion and knowledge for the game, as well as his strong communication skills and ability to connect with our student-athletes makes Frank an ideal person to lead our program moving forward.”

Mooney takes over for Barry Hudson, who coached the Blue Devils for the past two seasons.  

“I’m very excited to be the head coach,” Mooney said.  “Our team has shown a lot of growth over the last few years and I really like the group of kids that are playing this year.  Should be a fun season!”   

Ice hockey, like other winter sports across the state, is considered a “high-risk” sport and therefore the MIAA Ice Hockey Committee is currently developing sport-specific modifications which ultimately will have to be approved by the MIAA in order to allow for competition to take place.  If and when the hockey gets underway is still under evaluation at the time of this release and the Leominster High School Athletic Department will provide pertinent information and updates as they become available.
