Bertagna to run Hockey East
 
By Bob Monahan, 02/25/97
 
Joe Bertagna, a graduate of Arlington High School
(1969) and Harvard University (1973), and a highly
regarded goalie coach, will be named Hockey East
commissioner this afternoon at a press conference at
Boston University.
 
He replaces Merrimack College athletic director Bob
DeGregorio, who stepped down after the 1995-96
season.
 
Bertagna, now a resident of Gloucester, has been
affiliated with the ECAC in numerous roles since 1984,
including two years as commissioner.
 
A goalie under legendary coaches Eddie Burns at
Arlington High and Cooney Weiland at Harvard,
Bertagna brings a good deal of experience to the Hockey
East table. He is knowledgeable about communications,
marketing, and the college hockey world in general.
 
A former goalie coach for the Boston Bruins and
assistant coach of the 1994 US Olympic team, Bertagna
also is executive director of the American Hockey
Coaches Association.
