BOYS ICE HOCKEY COACH DAN DRISCOLL’S LAST GAME

Longtime boys varsity hockey coach Dan Driscoll retired this spring following a 27-year prep school coaching career, including the past 17 years at Berkshire. Coach Driscoll, who will stay on as director of athletics, won 435 games over that span and earned New England Prep School Coach of the Year four times—he won twice at Winchendon (1997, 1999) and twice at Berkshire (2007, 2013)—and his teams won three New England Preparatory School Athletic Council titles. In a career filled with success, Coach Driscoll’s biggest impact is felt in the relationships he developed with his players, some of whom shared their appreciation with the “Berkshire Bulletin.”

“That was my favorite year of hockey I’ve ever had, and a true testament to your coaching ability that that team got ranked No. 1 in New England.” —Tim Ernst ’13

“Thanks for everything you did for me, in my development not only as a player but as a person. You taught me how to treat people and how to carry that through life.”

—Charlie Corcoran ’14

“From Winchendon, to Pomfret, to Berkshire, you’ve mentored hundreds of hockey players. It’s been an amazing run. You’ve done so much for the Berkshire hockey community and the Berkshire community at large.”

—Justin

“I owe an incredible amount of who I am today, where I am today, to your generosity, your mentorship, and your kindness.”

—Quin Pompi ’13

“I remember my first few days and months at Berkshire being tough. I was the new guy at school, and it was tough to fit in right away. But once hockey season started, I never felt more welcome at a place in my life. I would not be where I am today, for sure, without you.”

—Kevin Rooney ’12

“I’m most thankful and appreciative for the lessons you taught us off the ice. We’ve become better people having played for you.”

—Keith Veronesi ’10
