EASTON, Mass. (January 26, 2022) – The Stonehill College Offices of Alumni Engagement and Athletics are teaming up once again to welcome back their "Coffee with the Coaches" panel, a series of Zoom panels that give alumni, fans and parents an inside look at their programs.

After the departments hosted a series of seven "Coffee with the Coaches" panels in the fall of 2020, there will be three Zoom panels on Fridays at noon scheduled over the course of the spring semester, starting with women's ice hockey head coach and 2014 Olympic Gold Medalist Tara Watchorn on Friday, February 11 – at the midway point of the 2022 Beijing Olympic Games and three days after Team USA and Canada are scheduled to square off in a women's ice hockey prelim – at noon. She will be joined by assistant coach Megan Myers and the two will give some insight into the program's preparations for their inaugural season in 2022-23 as members of the New England Women's Hockey Alliance (NEWHA).
