The coaches style is very old school, something needs to either change with her coaching style or her recruiting because the team is just not where it should be. This coach has massive player bias, and only gives chances to her favorite personalities and not their abilities. Fosters a team environment where her players put down other players when their hits are better than there’s and tells them they need to cut back. When I told them I was going to transfer they told me that they would tell every coach, of all the schools I was looking at not to let me on their team.

Chris Donovan has to go down as the worst coach in NCAA women’s hockey as shown by is losing record of about .15 winning percentage. Poor communicator, low effort, created terrible team culture. Has lied to every team he has coached by telling the players if they ever said he should not coach, he would voluntarily leave. The player writeups have been horrific about their experiences and his inability to coach a team. He was finally forced to leave after 24 years. Ironically the former AD Chris Kenny was also forced to leave for covering up player reviews on behalf of Donovan.

Very bad at communicating effectively, does not take constructive criticism well, allows inappropriate relationships between assistant coach and athletes, not very knowledgeable about the sport. Does emphasize academic success. Preaches mental health but does not act on her words. Holds onto intense biases when handling conflict (if willing to handle the conflict at all).

Coach Wendy met with my daughter and me after we attended a tour of the college. She made time to meet with us and connected well with my daughter. She talked about her coaching career, her vision for the team, and was honest about the strength of the team and the expectations for players to receive playing time. She seems like a great coach to play for.
