Title:
Assistant Coach

Scott Garrow is in his third year as an assistant coach of the Princeton men's hockey team, having joined the program in June 2011. In addition to his coaching duties, Garrow is the program's recruiting coordinator.

The Tigers went 9-16-7 in his first season as the team transitioned into a new chain of command. After the December break, Princeton lost just one of eight games before getting tripped up at the close of the season. Princeton lost to Yale in three-games in the first round of the ECAC Tournament.

In 2012-13, the Tigers earn home ice in the first round of the ECAC Tournament, finishing seventh in the league with an 8-10-4 record. The Tigers fell to Cornell, a team they beat twice during the regular season to end their season. Princeton was 10-16-5 overall and finished tied for second in the Ivy League, behind national champion Yale. Three players were named All-Ivy, one All-ECAC and five of the six seniors played professionally after the conclusion of the season, with two signing NHL contracts.

In his 18 years of college coaching, Garrow's coaching career has included two stops each at Western Michigan and Cornell.

He started as a volunteer assistant at his alma mater Western Michigan and then spent four years at Cornell before returning to Western in 1999. Garrow spent four seasons in his second stint at Western before returning to Cornell, where he has served as an assistant coach for the past eight years.

In his last eight seasons at Cornell, Garrow has helped lead the Big Red to four NCAA tournament appearances, two ECAC championships and two Ivy League titles. Garrow worked primarily with Cornell's forwards and the team's power play unit. He also worked extensively with the breakdown of video and recruiting.

In his 18 years of collegiate coaching experience he has helped his teams to five league championships and six NCAA tournament appearances. That doesn't include Cornell's two NCAA appearances in 2002 and 2003 (Frozen Four), which included several players that Garrow recruited in his first run at Cornell.

A graduate of Western Michigan, Garrow was a four-year letter winner for the Broncos. As a player at WMU, he set a school record by playing in 161 consecutive games. During that span, Garrow compiled 41 goals and 61 assists for 102 points. He scored a career-high 15 goals in 1991-92 and at season's end, received the team's Catherine Lawson Sportsmanship Award. The centerman twice received honorable mention for the All-CCHA Academic Team (1991, 1992), graduating with a bachelor of science degree in history in 1992. He received a master's degree in sports studies from WMU in 2000.

Garrow and his wife, Jennifer, have two sons, Cole and Chase.
