Princeton Hockey alum Tommy Davis '17 has been promoted to the role of full-time assistant coach at his alma mater as announced by head coach Ron Fogarty.
Â
Davis, who most recently served as a volunteer assistant, has also spent time as Director of Hockey Operations with the Tigers.
Â
"I am thrilled to have Tommy join our coaching staff full-time," said Fogarty. "He is a bright hockey mind who knows first-hand what it takes to succeed and grow as a student-athlete at Princeton. His passion for Princeton and Princeton Hockey is strong, and he will be a tremendous resource for our team."
Â
Last season, Davis served as a volunteer assistant coach for a Princeton team which had advanced to the second round of the ECAC Playoffs following a sweep of Dartmouth via two overtime wins in Hanover. Prior to that, he spent the 2018-19 season as Director of Operations with the Tigers.
Â
"I am honored to join the coaching staff at Princeton," said Davis. "This program has been home for me for some time, and I am excited to enter a new chapter with Princeton Hockey. I am thankful to Ron Fogarty, Brad Dexter and everyone involved in the hiring process and cannot wait to get started with our team."
Â
Davis graduated from Princeton in 2017 with a degree in history following a playing career where he appeared in 97 games as a defenseman. He tallied 21 points on six goals and 15 assists during his career, and served as an assistant captain during the 2016-17 season.
Â
After graduating from Princeton, Davis played a graduate season at Providence in 2017-18. He had a goal and 10 assists over 40 games with the Friars, helping Providence to the NCAA East Regional Final. He earned his MBA from Providence in 2018.
Â
Since returning to Princeton after his one year in Rhode Island, Davis has taught history at Princeton Day School while serving as head coach of the Middle School hockey team and as an assistant with the Upper School varsity team. In addition, he is a partner and coach with Top Prospects Hockey, working with U16 and U20 prospects in his home state of New Jersey.
Â
A Ho-Ho-Kus, N.J. native, Davis graduated from the Delbarton School where he was part of four state championship teams. Before joining the Tigers, he spent one season with Youngstown of the USHL.
