Worcester State Women's Hockey Coach Eliza Kelley On Personal Growth, Perspective Shifts While Coaching, and Working Towards Big Goals

Eliza Kelley played at Utica College for three seasons before moving into coaching! She spent four years as a full-time assistant at Utica before starting the women's hockey program at Becker College, coaching there for six years and building a competitive program before the school closed. After that Coach Kelley moved to Worcester State, again starting the program from scratch. In the first 3 years, the Worcester State women's team has won their conference (ECHA) and this year will move into the larger MASCAC league. I feel really fortunate to be a part of her team and even after only playing for her one year I have grown as a player and person. She has so much knowledge about hockey and everything, and I learn something new whenever I am around her. The way she builds trust and strong relationships with the players she works with is exceptional and I have the utmost respect for her. Just from this ten-minute chat, you can tell how great she is.
