The Quinnipiac University Athletics department has officially announced Rick Seeley’s resignation as head coach of the women’s ice hockey team.
The statement confirmed the report from Q30 Sports that Seeley would no longer be the head coach. The report said he was under investigation after allegedly grabbing one of his players during the first round of the NCAA Tournament against Harvard.
“I would like to thank Rick Seeley for his service to Quinnipiac University and everything that he has done to elevate our women’s ice hockey program,” Director of Athletics & Recreation Jack McDonald said. “We wish Rick and his family the best of luck.”
Seeley was the Quinnipiac women’s hockey head coach for seven years. He led the team to a program best record of 26-9-3 with its first NCAA Tournament berth during the 2014-15 season.
Associate Head Coach Cassandra Turner has been named the interim head coach.
