Playing career

Maura Crowell grew up in Mansfield, Massachusetts, and played ice hockey and field hockey at St. Mark's School in Southborough, Mass. [1] She was captain of the ice hockey team in her junior and senior years, and led the team in points scored twice in her four years. [2]

She attended college at Colgate University, where she studied German, and played left wing for the Colgate Raiders women's ice hockey team.

After graduating from college, Crowell returned to St. Mark's as the assistant coach for the girls hockey team and as head coach for the junior varsity girls lacrosse team. [3] Crowell then went to Connecticut College, where she earned a Masters of Art in teaching. [4] She served as assistant coach for the Connecticut College Camels women's ice hockey team from 2003 to 2005. During her time with the Camels, the team made its first ever playoff appearance. While in Connecticut, Crowell also volunteered as a speed skating coach with the Special Olympics. [3]

UMass Boston Beacons

Crowell was selected as the head coach for the University of Massachusetts Boston women's ice hockey team in 2005. Her team set program records for wins in the 2009-20 season, finishing 17-9-0 overall, and 13-6-0 in conference play. Crowell was awarded the ECAC East Women's Ice Hockey Coach of the Year award that season, becoming the second women's ice hockey coach for UMass Boston to win the honor. Laura Shuler won the award in 2003-04. [5] Crowell never had a losing season at UMass Boston, and became the winningest coach in the Beacon's program history in 2010. [6]

In 2010, she was hired to be an Assistant coach for the 2010 USA Hockey women's national festival, held August 13–21 in Lake Placid, NY. [6]

Harvard Crimson

In 2010, Crowell was hired as an assistant coach for the Harvard Crimson women's ice hockey team, and held that position for two seasons. In 2013-2014, when Crimson head coach Katey Stone took the head coaching position with Team USA's national women's ice hockey team for the Olympics, Crowell stepped in as interim head coach for the Crimson. [1] With Crowell behind the bench, the team finished second in the ECAC and made it to the semi-finals of the ECAC tournament. They went on to the quarterfinals of the NCAA playoffs. [7]

[20] [21] [22] Prior to taking on head coaching responsibilities, Crowell was an assistant coach with the US U-18 team in 2015-16 and 2017-28. [16]

In 2020, University of Minnesota Duluth men's ice hockey coach Scott Sandelin was the head coach for the US Men’s Juniors Team, playing in the World Championships in the Czech Republic.
