Bowdoin has announced the hiring of Al Washco as an assistant coach for the men’s hockey team.
Washco returns to Bowdoin following the departure of Sean Walsh, who has accepted a position at Alaska.
A Polar Bear from 2018 to 2023, Washco appeared in 91 games, recording 26 goals and 35 assists. As a senior, he tallied seven goals and 13 assists, helping Bowdoin capture the 2023 NESCAC championship and earn a berth in the NCAA Division III tournament. He graduated that spring with a degree in Government and Legal Studies and a minor in Russian.
After college, Washco pursued a professional career in Europe, competing for the Zweibrücken Hornets (Germany) and Les Bisons de Neuilly-sur-Marne (France) before injuries cut his career short.
