When NCAA alumni and U.S. citizens were white elks in professional hockey, fiction offered the most famous example.<\/p>\n

As the Charlestown Chiefs yearbook said circa 1977, Federal League leading scorer and pacifist Ned Braden attended Princeton. While he excelled on the ice, people wondered why someone of his background was in that line of work.<\/p>\n

Whether or not “Slap Shot” screenwriter Nancy Dowd meant to underscore a perceived conflict between the Ivy League and ice legionaries, the next generation witnessed an exemplary development in revealing the whole person of student-athlete and university employee to one another.<\/p>\n

For roughly a quarter-century, the Princeton athletic fellows program has encouraged faculty and staff to involve themselves with the sports teams as far as the NCAA allows. In return, they help student-athletes to balance a demanding double life and make meaningful time for other enriching aspects of college.<\/p>\n

It has been 12 and a half years since Kevin Westgarth, who was more like Dave \u201cKiller\u201d Carlson in his eight-year pro career, last drew the program\u2019s immediate benefits. But the NHL\u2019s current vice president of business development is still feeling its effect.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe faculty fellows were a great resource during my time at Princeton,\u201d said the psychology major. \u201cNot only were they available for classroom support, but we were able to socialize with them off the ice and away from the rink.\u201d<\/p>\n

Women\u2019s head coach Cara Morey calls the result of the fellows program \u201creal Kumbaya-tic.\u201d And as a Brown graduate and ninth-year Princeton staffer, she has an informed gauge on the most time-honored higher-education institutions and their all-round makeup.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery Ivy is very different in how they structure everything and how they value athletics and academics,\u201d she said. \u201cAt Princeton, they have just gone a great job of setting the bar and making academics and athletics accessible.\u201d<\/p>\n

To that point, Princeton is No. 1 in U.S. News & World Report\u2019s 2020 national university rankings, and the criteria go beyond what comes first. The magazine elaborates with six paragraphs on general academics, history, environment, and tuition, followed by athletics, then student life.<\/p>\n

Athletic fellows volunteer to facilitate fulfillment on the latter two fronts, and do so in larger units than normal. Of the 67 Division I schools fielding men\u2019s or women\u2019s hockey, only eight mention a faculty or staff advisor\/affiliate\/fellow\/liaison on their online roster. Generally, one or two ambassadors are assigned to work with one team. Others cover the entire athletic department.<\/p>\n

At Princeton, 11 fellows are on the men\u2019s hockey support staff, and seven are on the women\u2019s. Besides that credit, they all get a hyperlink to their own profile page on the Tigers website.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s a really nice gesture,\u201d said Alec Dun, Princeton\u2019s assistant dean who oversees the fellows program. \u201cAnd a gesture only means something if it\u2019s to something true and real, and that\u2019s what this is.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are affiliated with the team and supporters of the team; more than just fans.\u201d<\/p>\n

Princeton\u2019s precedent follows that of the late sociology professor Marvin Bressler, who began his three-decade tenure in 1963. Although he predates the formal fellows program, he is remembered as the \u201coriginal fellow.\u201d Beyond the lecture halls and boardrooms, he made his mark as an outspoken basketball booster, starting midway through the Bill Bradley era.<\/p>\n

Another student from Bressler\u2019s early days, Gary Walters, became Princeton\u2019s athletic director in 1994. He created the fellows program in hopes of fostering more Bressler-esque relationships between faculty and staff, coaches, and their shared learners. Today, with former soccer and hockey star Mollie Marcoux as athletic director, more than 200 employees participate across the 34-team department.<\/p>\n

The hockey teams combine for 16 fellows, including two overlaps in economics professor Henry Farber and Whitman College director of studies Jaclyn Schwalm. The men tie swimming and diving for the second-most of any team, surpassed only by football\u2019s 19.<\/p>\n

Despite a dearth of banners or flashy alumni, it is hard to ignore the sport\u2019s ties to Princeton\u2019s general tradition. With Hobey Baker and Patty Kazmaier, the Tigers produced the namesakes of the NCAA men\u2019s and women\u2019s player of the year awards. Another alum, Laura Halldorson, was the first coach of the Minnesota Golden Gopher women\u2019s program, an instant and never-waning powerhouse.<\/p>\n

In the pros, two Tigers catalyzed the players\u2019 side to help end the last NHL lockout. George Parros, who majored in economics and is now the league\u2019s chief of player safety, and Westgarth promoted peace and salvaged a reduced 2012-13 season.<\/p>\n

But neither of those enforcers cut their campus lives short.<\/p>\n

Nate Ewell, deputy executive director of College Hockey Inc., attended Princeton early in the Walters era. CHI touts hockey\u2019s regal position on the NCAA\u2019s graduation leaderboard among men\u2019s sports at 92.1 percent (per an October 2014 report).<\/p>\n

The organization\u2019s website touches further on \u201cclassmates, dorm life and school spirit\u201d that come alongside the puck package. For good measure, it throws in the potential for players to meet \u201cfuture spouses,\u201d which Westgarth did with women\u2019s hoopster Meagan Cowher.<\/p>\n

Through the athletic fellows, Ewell\u2019s alma mater wages one of the more vigorous and visible campaigns for a player\u2019s meaningful immersion and full-length stay. \u201cOne of the great benefits of the college hockey experience is the chance to build meaningful relationships with people from all corners of campus,\u201d he said. \u201cPrinceton\u2019s faculty fellows program is an exceptional example of how that occurs.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yes, the first priority is alleviating schoolwork-sport entanglements incidental to student-athlete life. Athletic fellows are the middle point of the triangle when players must plan ahead or react quickly to keep their commitments compatible.<\/p>\n

With hockey, that is especially tricky when crafting a loaded five-course semester to ensure 17 credits in four years. Whereas most sports\u2019 offseasons envelop a full term, pucksters play the majority of their games in the fall term (which ends in January), then the more pressured-filled homestretch and playoffs to start spring. Fellows and other advisors will find them a fix, sometimes in the form of a summer class.<\/p>\n

But another part of that relationship means spending almost as much time in the team\u2019s domain as the students spend in theirs. Many fellows capitalize on priority access to rinkside seats at home and periodic invitations to road games, team service outings, and other functions.<\/p>\n

Some even join the hockey staffers in pick-up games, and bring ample experience. Trisha Thorme, who works with the women\u2019s program and directs the university\u2019s community-based learning initiative, has played recreationally since the mid-1990s.<\/p>\n

Other testaments to the fellows\u2019 puck passion include Schwalm\u2019s lifelong Philadelphia Flyers fanaticism and Farber and social science department chair Christopher Achen hosting former journeyman Blair MacKasey and NBC analyst Pierre McGuire in an on-campus panel concerning \u201cThe Future of Professional Ice Hockey.\u201d<\/p>\n

In everyone\u2019s book, that built-in familiarity is not a prerequisite to becoming an athletic fellow. Dun values those who \u201creally enjoy the team culture, have a good relationship with the coach.\u201d<\/p>\n

Still, he allows, an authentic fervor for the beneficiary\u2019s pastime is \u201csometimes useful as an entry point.\u201d<\/p>\n

Morey concurs, citing casual conversations about the Tigers penalty kill or an individual player\u2019s recent performance as common starters. From there, the topics between fellow and coach or fellow and player can take a scenic drive to other common interests.<\/p>\n

Now based in Brooklyn, Westgarth is an hour and a half away from his alma mater, and living proof of the more-than-academics, more-than-athletics shelf life the fellows program lends it.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was important to be able to have the casual conversations that helped give weight to our entire school experience, and to not take it for granted,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s a pleasure to still see many at Princeton reunions, hockey games, or alumni get-togethers, catching up, and hopefully allowing them to appreciate the work they do matters.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cathy Phillips clowns with Princeton junior forward Luke Keenan at Reunions 2019. He was a part of the student crew for the 10th Reunion and their theme was \u201809tendo, a Super Mario theme. Keenan was in character as Yoshi and drove a Mario Kart in the P-rade at the event (photo submitted: Cathy Phillips).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As it happens, one men\u2019s team fellow, Cathy Phillips, handles class affairs and reunions. Her family accepts every Skate with the Tigers invitation, and she proclaims her son Owen is \u201carguably the team\u2019s biggest little fan.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI am astounded by the players\u2019 work ethic and dedication,\u201d she said. \u201cNot only are they always striving to be the best during games, but they are having to juggle rigorous academic, practice, and travel schedules. It is an honor getting to know the team and having the opportunity to support them throughout their time at Princeton and beyond.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the offseason \u2014 both athletic and academic \u2014 Phillips has borrowed Ron Fogarty\u2019s pupils to aid in her day job. This past spring, forward Luke Keenan joined the student crew on reunion weekend, which brought an estimated 25,000 guests.<\/p>\n

On the other side of the summer break, Morey and her capstone class enjoy another diversion from both halves of the student-athlete label. Their fellows assemble them for a preseason barbecue, challenging them to a Chopped-style competition. The students create the courses, and the staffers determine the winner by presentation, taste, and originality.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s always really special,\u201d Morey said, \u201cbecause it has nothing to do with anything but human beings interacting.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
