Choquette has has served as the College's Intramural Director and Director of Summer Sports Camps since being named Saint Michael's women's soccer coach prior to the 1999 season.

Entering his eighth season at the helm of the Purple Knights in 2006, Marcel Choquette has put the Saint Michael's College women's soccer program on the local and regional map. The program, which originated in 1981, has experience historic success under Choquette's leadership, as he has guided the squad to the only three 10-win seasons in team history.

In just six years, Choquette became the winningest coach in school history, matching the record of 52 set by Azzie Azagoh Kouadio from 1988-96. Despite competing in the heavily talented Northeast-10 Conference, Choquette has guided his teams to five straight .500-or-better seasons from 2000-04, and three consecutive winning campaigns from 2000-02. In addition, his teams' list of achievements include: most wins in a season, most goals in a season, most assists in a season, most total points in a season, three consecutive conference tournament appearances, and the program's first ever bid to the ECAC Division II Tournament. He had the highest winning percentage of any women's soccer coach in program history prior to the 2005 season (.505, 52-51-7).

Choquette came to Saint Michael's from nearby Missisquoi Valley Union High School where he taught Physical Education and served as the Director of Athletics and Head Coach for the girl's soccer program. In addition to 12 years of experience in public education, he also had coaching stints at Norwich University and Lyndon State College. In addition to his work experience, he holds a Master's degree in Athletic Administration, and an Advance National Coaching Diploma from the NSCAA. He is a staff coach for the Nordic Spirit Premier Soccer club and is the head coach for the Under-11 and Under-12 girls' premiere teams, and is a New England ODP Regional staff coach.

Choquette's playing experience includes a four-year college career at Lyndon Sate College where he was a three-time All-Conference selection, and an All-New England and All American candidate. He is still among the school record holders for career points, career goals, and career assists. He has also played professionally, most recently with the Vermont Wanderers (Voltage).

He presently resides in Milton.
