New Girls Ice Hockey Coach Hired At Greenwich High School

GREENWICH, CT — Brooke Heron has been named as the head girls ice hockey coach at Greenwich High School, according to a news release from GHS Athletic Director Gus Lindine.

Heron is replacing Alex Lerchen, who resigned at the end of last season after many successful years as head coach of the Cardinals.

"Heron has always been connected to ice hockey as both a very talented player and as someone providing instruction for young people," Lundine said in a news release.

For the past season, Heron was a varsity assistant coach at Darien High School. Previously, she spent two years as a varsity assistant coach at Wilton High School. As a student-athlete at The Westminister School, Heron was captain of her ice hockey team and was a two-time New England Champion.

Heron continued playing hockey at Trinity College where she was named captain of her team. During her collegiate career, Trinity College won the NESCAC Championship in 2015, for the first time in school history.
