NEW YORK, NY – The National Women’s Hockey League today announced the resignation of Connecticut Whale head coach Jake Mastel. Heather Linstad, former head coach of the Northeastern and University of Connecticut women’s hockey teams, will take over alongside assistant coach Lisa Giovanelli.
“I’m very excited for this opportunity to work with such a talented group of athletes,” said Heather Linstad. “They have clearly established a winning tradition early on in Connecticut, and I hope to build on that leading into playoffs.”
The Whale will resume league play following the All-Star Game break this Sunday at home against the Boston Pride.
