Doug Wright








Second season

Doug Wright, a four-year student athlete at NCAA Division I Providence College, returns to the Saint Michael's College staff for his second season as men's ice hockey assistant coach in 2009-10. In his first season in 2008-09, Wright helped lead Saint Michael's to the Northeast-10 Conference Tournament Championship.

"I am very excited to be joining such a respected school in Saint Michael's College, and I feel fortunate in joining Coach Davidson's elite hockey program," said Wright upon his hiring in the fall of 2008.

Wright brings an impressive resume to the Saint Michael's men's ice hockey program. He played four years for the Hockey East NCAA Division I main stay Providence Friars from 1999-2003. Wright played three professional seasons after college, including two years with the Las Vegas Wranglers and one with the Augusta (Ga.) Lynx, both of the East Coast Hockey League. Wright also has experience at the American Hockey League level, playing two stints with the Chicago Wolves and the Portland (Maine) Pirates. In his rookie professional season, Wright was the first 20-goal scorer in Las Vegas Wrangler history, and also led the team in game-winning goals.

Prior to attending Providence, Wright played one season for the Lebret Eagles of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League (SJHL). In his first season, Wright led his team in goals and was named Rookie of the Year in the SJHL.
