MILTON, Mass. – Curry College has named Peter Roundy as head coach of the men's ice hockey program.
Roundy will make his collegiate head coaching debut with the Colonels. He spent six seasons at The College of the Holy Cross, including the last two as associate head men's hockey coach.
"It is with great pleasure and excitement that I announce Peter Roundy as the next head men's ice-hockey coach at Curry College," said Athletic Director Vinnie Eruzione. "Peter's experience as the associate head coach at both NCAA Division I Holy Cross and Division III Trinity College, which won the national championship in 2015, make him a perfect fit for our men's hockey program. He is a tireless recruiter and extremely knowledgeable in skill development and numerous systems. The care he has for student-athletes as a whole on the ice, in the classroom and in the community are evident by what Peter has accomplished in the past. He will bring quality student-athletes to our campus that have great character and commitment to the College and the men's ice hockey program. Peter is ready to lead his own team and I could not be happier that he is going to be doing it at Curry."
Prior to his time at Holy Cross, Roundy spent four seasons at Trinity College. He served as the associate head coach and recruiting coordinator for the Bantams who won the 2015 NCAA Division III national championship. The team went 25-3-1 to win its first national title in program history. The Bantams also won the NESCAC regular season championship for the second straight year. He coached three players that earned 2015 All-American accolades. Roundy directed the penalty kill to first place in the NESCAC, while the defense also led the league with 1.56 goals allowed per game. During his first three years as an assistant coach at Trinity, he served as both recruiting and video coordinator, coached the defensemen, and directed the penalty killing units. The Bantams qualified for the post-season in each of Roundy's three seasons and won the 2013-2014 NESCAC regular season championship.
Roundy takes over a program that went 17-6-3 in 2019-20, including a 12-4-2 mark in the Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC). The Colonels earned the third seed in the CCC Championship Tournament but were upended in the quarterfinals.
"I am honored and grateful to have the opportunity to be the next head men's ice hockey coach at Curry College," said Roundy. "I am excited to work with our motivated and talented student-athletes, to help them realize their goals on and off the ice. The program has a great foundation for success, and I look forward to building upon that. I would like to thank President Quigley, Vinnie Eruzione, and the entire search committee for their confidence in me to lead the program into a new era."
Roundy started his coaching career at Becker College where he served as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator for the Hawks in 2010-2011. He helped guide the Hawks to a 7-4-3 mark against conference opponents and played a pivotal role in helping Becker complete one of the most successful seasons in the school's history, as the team reached the conference semifinals for only the second time.
A native of Simsbury, Conn., Roundy earned a bachelor's degree from in Health Care Administration with a minor in Business Administration from Stonehill College in 2010.
