Cassie Turner
Head Coach, Quinnipiac University Women's Hockey
Cassandra Turner enters her sixth season as the Quinnipiac women's ice hockey head coach and 12th with the program in the 2020-21 year.
In her first season as head coach, she enjoyed the best season in Quinnipiac women's ice hockey history, leading the Bobcats to the program's first ECAC Hockey Regular Season and Tournament Championships. Quinnipiac women's ice hockey also hosted the first NCAA Tournament Home Game in school history and won 30 games for the first time in program history.
With those 30 wins, Turner set the NCAA Record for wins by a first-year women's ice hockey head coach at any level.
Her leadership, championship playing experience, international coaching experience and innovative approach to development have played a vital role in the resurgence of the Quinnipiac program.
Turner has re-energized the program's team culture around an attitude that emphasizes team play, hard work, and a commitment to defensive hockey. In her nine years at Quinnipiac, she has been the leading voice on staff in creating a mindset that values attention to detail, developing great habits, and being "Hard to Play Against."
Since her arrival at Quinnipiac in 2008, Quinnipiac has won 182 games, with 19 or more in each of her last eight seasons as an assistant coach, associate head coach, and now head coach. The program's 119 wins and 45 losses, are the fifth most wins and fifth fewest losses in Division I women's college hockey over the last five years.
As the program's recruiting coordinator, Turner consistently demonstrated the ability to recruit elite level student-athletes and prepare them to succeed. Over the last nine years, Turner has helped identify and attract 17 All-ECAC Hockey selections, including five First Team honorees and six all-rookie selections. Most notable among them, the program's only All-American Kelly Babstock, finished her career as a four-time All-ECAC Hockey selection, ECAC Hockey Rookie and Player of the Year in 2010-11, and the program's all-time scoring leader with 95 goals and 108 assists for 203 points.
Off the ice, Coach Turner led efforts to mentor and push team members in the daily pursuit of excellence. She structured the academic guidance program, created regular goal setting sessions, and consistently worked to enhance mental skills opportunities for Bobcat student-athletes. As a reflection of those efforts, 132 women's ice hockey student-athletes have been named to the ECAC Hockey All-Academic Team during the past 9 years, highlighted by a program record 22 in 2016-17. Under Turner's direction, Quinnipiac goaltender Chelsea Laden was awarded ECAC Hockey's Mandi Schwartz Student-Athlete of the Year Award as well as ECAC Hockey and Hockey East's Sarah Devens Award Winner. Defenseman Kristen Tamberg earned the program's 2nd consecutive Mandi Schwartz Award in 2016.
In addition to her role with the Bobcats, Turner has been a longtime fixture within Hockey Canada's National Women's Programs as a player, assistant coach, and head coach. During her playing career, she represented Canada three times on the U-22 National Team from 2001-2003, highlighted by a Gold Medal finish at the 2003 Air Canada Cup. In 2014-15, she served as the Head Coach of Canada's National Women's Under-18 Team through selection, training, and the World Championship. She previously represented her home country as an assistant with the U-18 National Team at the 2011 and 2014 IIHF Women's U-18 World Championships and with the Women's Development Team in 2013.
As Team Canada's U18 Head Coach, Turner led the team to the silver medal at the 2015 IIHF Women's World Championship in Buffalo, New York with current assistant coach Amanda Mazzotta serving as the Goaltending Coach. Turner's crowning achievement comes on the heels of her gold medal run in the 2014 IIHF Women's World Championship in Budapest where she helped guide Canada's U-18 Team to the world title in April 2014.
Much of Turner's success in coaching reflects her ability to share many of the valuable lessons learned during a playing career where she excelled at the club, university, and international level. She served as an assistant captain for Team Ontario's gold medal winning 1999 Canada Games team.
Turner put together a decorated playing career at Brown University where she was a two-time captain. Brown was 83-33-12 during her four year career.
After Brown, she played two seasons in the NWHL for the Toronto Aeros Sr. Women's Hockey Team. She lives in Wallingford, Conn. with her husband Paul, their son, Blake and their daughter, Adilee.

Every ski enthusiast worth the price of his bindings would jump at the chance to ski every day throughout the season. Visitors to Boise have access to ski resorts as close as 16 miles from the city. A longer drive takes them to the world-class resorts where the sport began, developed and matured.
Living in Boise doesn't mean having to take a sick day or cut school to go skiing. Just 16 miles from Boise, Bogus Basin opens at 10 a.m. and closes at 10 p.m. The town operates the resort as a 501 (c) organization, which collects up to $600,000 in donations. These monetary gifts keep the price of lift tickets and season passes as low as possible. A ski bus travels from downtown Boise to the mountain. Bogus Basin offers alpine skiing and snowboarding, as well as Nordic skiing and snowshoeing.
Soldier Mountain sits 102 miles east of Boise. Its former owner, actor Bruce Willis, is the mountain's claim to fame. Despite the notoriety, the resort maintains a laid-back ambiance, with reasonably priced lift tickets and a dedicated backcountry area. Some of the peaks at Soldier's Mountain soar above 9,000 feet. The 1948 Winter Olympics in Sun Valley inspired the creation of the resort. The owners raised $10,000, built a base lodge and installed two rope tows, powered by a 1938 Chevrolet engine.
Located 118 miles from Boise, Brundage receives an average of 318 inches of snow, steep terrain, and access to cat and backcountry skiing. Befriend a local and ask him to take you to Mexico, a hidden powder stash that is not on the trail map. While the terrain at Brundage favors the expert skier, the nearby Tamarack Resort has similar snow conditions, but terrain for all levels. Tamarack is 90 miles from Boise.
Steeped in ski history, Sun Valley is worth every minute of the three-hour drive from Boise. Its story unfolds in 1935 when Union Pacific Railroad chairman Averell Harriman hired Count Felix Schaffgotsch to search for an ideal location for an elegant ski resort. When the count discovered a group of people skiing in the Ketchum valley, he informed his boss that his search had ended. His enthusiasm was contagious. Harriman purchased the 4,300 acres of land, which later became Sun Valley. He invited his friend, author Ernest Hemingway to spend time at the resort. Hemingway wrote "For Whom the Bell Tolls" while occupying suite 206 at the Sun Valley Lodge. In 1941, Sun Valley was the setting for the classic film, "Sun Valley Serenade." Decades later, Warren Miller made his first extreme skiing movie at the resort. Getting there from Boise is easy: Sun Valley Express transports skiers from Boise Idaho to the Sun Valley resort.
