‘In the blink of an eye’ Dartmouth’s Gaudet reaches 1,000-game coaching milestone

by

Dartmouth forward Drew O’Connor brought Friday’s game against Princeton to a quick end with a goal 61 seconds into overtime. While it’s been a little longer journey for Big Green coach Bob Gaudet, at times it’s felt just as fast as O’Connor’s game-winning goal. Friday was the 1,000th career game for Gaudet, who is in his 23rd season at Dartmouth after spending nine seasons at Brown (photo: Shelley M. Szwast).
