CLIFTON PARK, N.Y. — ECAC Hockey has announced that the 2022 Tim Taylor Coach of the Year is Quinnipiac University’s Rand Pecknold. This is the second straight season that Pecknold has claimed this honor, and the fourth time in his career.

Pecknold coached the Bobcats to their second consecutive Cleary Cup in 2021-22, and the top seed in the ECAC Hockey playoffs. Quinnipiac put together one of the best defensive seasons in the history of NCAA Hockey, breaking the NCAA team shutouts record. They finished the year 28-5-3 overall, and 17-4-1 in league play, while a number of players have been recognized as finalists for major awards. 

The Bobcats will have a chance to hoist the 2022 Whitelaw Cup this weekend in Lake Placid, N.Y.
