Jamie Lundmark, a former NHL player whose professional hockey career spanned the better part of two decades, joined the Princeton women's hockey staff as Director of Player Development and Assistant Coach on May 31, 2023.

"The women's college game is growing and evolving rapidly," Princeton head coach Cara Morey said upon Lundmark's hiring. "Jamie has played at the highest level of men's hockey and, through Method Hockey, has also coached and developed top female players who've gone on to compete at the highest levels in Division I hockey. We're so excited to have Jamie join our program at Princeton as we continue our quest for a national championship!"

After retiring from his professional hockey playing career in 2018, Lundmark founded Method Hockey, a training facility in West Chester, Pa., coaching and managing a staff of coaches and trainers to develop elite male and female players in the area.

"I was fortunate to have a long professional playing career, both in the NHL and overseas, and I've seen the evolution of the women's game over the last few years up close through my work with Method Hockey," Lundmark said upon his hiring. "I'm looking forward to contributing to the continued growth of the women's game with Cara's staff while bringing my unique experience to Princeton. I've seen Cara's work through her involvement with Hockey Canada and the Philadelphia Flyers, and she has done a great job with a program at Princeton that is among the best in the country. I am grateful for the opportunity to help her continue to reach those heights."

Originally from Edmonton, Alb., Lundmark was the ninth overall pick of the New York Rangers in the 1999 NHL Draft and made his debut with the Blueshirts at the start of the 2002-03 season. Lundmark played six seasons in the NHL with the Rangers, Coyotes, Flames, Kings and Maple Leafs before playing his final NHL game on April 7, 2010 for Toronto against his original team, the Rangers, at Madison Square Garden.

While Lundmark played in Italy during the 2004-05 NHL lockout and in Russia for part of the 2007-08 season, he took his career overseas post-NHL for the 2010-11 campaign, playing in Sweden before moving on to Latvia the following season and then Austria for the final six years of his pro career.
