ESPN’s John Buccigross is reporting that UMass will hire St Lawrence head coach Greg Carvel as its next head coach. Carvel holds a graduate degree from UMass and was once an assistant coach at Amherst College.
Prior to being named coach at SLU, where he served as captain as a player, Carvel was an assistant coach in the NHL with the Senstors and Ducks. He won the ECAC Coach of the Year in 2015.
More coverage coming later on FTT.

Strong recruiter, coach, teacher. It will be exciting to watch this team rise from the ashes.
