I have been very fortunate to work with extremely talented and hardworking players, both past and present, and a staff that has made the job extremely competitive, entertaining and fun to come to work every day. Each year has brought a different challenge and has helped me grown personally and professionally.  <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This year I learned from our team the true power of belief. That no matter what adversity we faced, the belief in a goal was far more powerful. It was an unbelievable experience and one that I will always remember.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Desrosiers was first a Clarkson assistant coach from 2003 to 2008 and then co-head coach with Matt for the past six seasons.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;For now, it is time for me to focus more time and energy on our growing family,&#8221; Desrosiers added. &#8220;I will miss coaching tremendously, but I also look forward to the new challenges that lie ahead and thank Clarkson University for supporting me in doing so.  I also personally want to thank president Tony Collins and Steve Yianoukos and Scott Smalling in the athletics department for allowing me the opportunity to help build the women&#8217;s hockey program at Clarkson. I love working at a prestigious institution like Clarkson University and appreciate the support given to both the program and me throughout my career here.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A national search is underway to find a new Clarkson assistant coach.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After winning the 2014 national championship, one half of the Clarkson husband-wife coaching duo, Shannon Desrosiers, is stepping down to spend more time with her family.
