Journal Tribune and New York newspaper feature stories on new women's hockey coach Erin Hamlen

The Post Star (Glens Falls, N.Y.) and the Journal Tribune (Biddeford) ran features on Erin Hamlen, who was recently appointed head coach for UNE's new women's hockey team. Hamlen will be on hand for the team's debut season in 2012-13, playing in the new Alfond Forum, the $20 million 105,000-square-foot athletics and student life complex scheduled to open on UNE’s Biddeford Campus in September. 

Hamlen, who grew up in New York, told the newspaper: “It’s my first stint as a head coach, and it’s nice to have a program that will literally be all mine. They’ll all be my recruits. There’s something nice about that. I’m looking forward to it ... I’m looking forward to doing something special for these kids.”
