Brown women’s coach Bourbeau resigns after four seasons

Brown women’s coach Amy Bourbeau stepped down on Thursday.

“I want to thank Coach Bourbeau for her contributions to the Brown women’s hockey program and its student-athletes,” said Brown director of athletics Jack Hayes in a statement. “I wish her the best of luck in her future endeavors.”

Bourbeau coached the Bears from 2011 to 2015, compiling a 23-79-14 overall record. She helped lead Brown to its first appearance in the ECAC playoffs in five years during the 2011-12 season and her teams won the Mayor’s Cup against crosstown rival Providence three out of four years during her tenure.

A national search for a new head coach will begin immediately.
