HAMILTON  — Head women's hockey coach Stefan Decosse rounded out his staff for the 2024-25 season on Thursday, hiring Trevor Coykendall to fill an assistant coaching role and also serve as the director of hockey operations. A national champion as a student-athlete at Adrian College, Coykendall spent the past two years as an assistant with Adrian's women's program. 

"We are thrilled to welcome Trevor to our coaching staff," Decosse said. "He is a person of integrity, has an unrelenting work ethic, and is deeply committed to teaching and developing  players. His passion, attention to detail, and National Championship pedigree will be invaluable as we continue to strive for excellence at Colgate."

Coykendall played four seasons with the Bulldogs from 2018-2022, culminating in a 2022 national championship where he was named to the all-tournament team. He logged 28 goals, 26 assists and 54 points in 91 games played for his career.

Upon graduation with a bachelor's of science in kinesiology, Coykendall stayed with Adrian as an assistant and strength and conditioning coach with the women's hockey team. He helped the Bulldogs win back-to-back regular season and playoff conference championships the past two years, also leading Adrian to a Frozen Four this past season.

The newest Raider also spent this past summer working at the USA Hockey U15 girls development camp in Oxford, Ohio.
 
"I'm deeply honored and thrilled to join the Colgate family," Coykendall said. "Stefan, Breanne, and Alex are exceptional leaders, and I'm excited to work alongside them and the talented athletes in our locker room. I'm eager to contribute to this incredible program and community, and I look forward to helping build on the success that has made Colgate the gold standard."
