Chris Wells

Chris Wells took over the reigns of the St. Lawrence University women's hockey team for the 2008-09 season. In his opening campaign, Wells continued the program's tradition of winning, as he guided the team to the 2009 NCAA Tournament and a 24-11-3 record. He enters his fourth season at the helm with a career mark of 56-43-12.

Wells returned to his alma mater as assistant hockey coach for the men's team in the 1999-2000 season after a stint behind the bench at Western Michigan University in the CCHA. He was named Associate Head Coach of the men's hockey team in January of 2003.

A 1992 graduate of St. Lawrence and one of the heroes of that ECAC championship team, he earned the Brian P. Doyle Memorial Trophy as a senior. He scored the overtime game winner in a come-from-behind semifinal win over RPI in the 1992 ECAC tourney.

Wells began his collegiate coaching career as an assistant at Colgate University following a European professional career. He has also served the University as director of St. Lawrence summer sport programs and a co-director of the Saint Summer Hockey School.

Chris and his wife, Kate, are the parents of two daughters, Laura and Sarah and a son, Bobby.
