BRUNSWICK

Former Bowdoin College men’s ice hockey head coach Terry Meagher has been named the 2018 recipient of the American Hockey Coaches Association John MacInnes Award.

According to the AHCA, the award was established in 1982 to honor former Michigan Tech coach John MacInnes to recognize those people who have shown a great concern for amateur hockey and youth programs. The recipients have had high winning percentages, as well as outstanding graduating percentages among their former players.

Meagher won 542 games in a 33-year career as head coach at Bowdoin and retired in 2016 having compiled a record of 542-253-58, ranking sixth in Division III history in total victories.

“Terry Meagher set a powerful example for members of our community with his unwavering support of the academic interests of our students and ability to prepare our teams to compete at the highest level within Division III athletics,” said Bowdoin director of athletics Tim Ryan, at the time of Meagher’s retirement, in a statement. “Terry’s coaching record speaks for itself, but he is known primarily for his positive impact on the development of Bowdoin students in several athletic programs, especially our men’s ice hockey program, and the relationships he nurtures across our campus community.”

Meagher will receive the award at the 2018 AHCA national convention in Naples, Fla.
