    Episode 127: St. Lawrence University Women’s Ice Hockey Head Coach Chris Wells

    In this podcast episode, St. Lawrence University head coach Chris Wells discusses his deep-rooted connection to the Saints women's hockey program and the unique community of Canton, New York. As a local native and alumnus, Wells highlights the "small-town USA" charm of the university, where a $20 million renovation of the historic Appleton Arena has provided top-tier facilities while maintaining a close-knit, supportive environment. He attributes the program's success—including recent NCAA tournament runs and victories over Big 10 teams—to the remarkable stability of his coaching staff, many of whom have worked together for nearly two decades. Facing a developmental season with nine freshmen, Wells emphasizes a coaching philosophy built on transparency, data-driven practice feedback, and a "family first" culture that transforms the isolated North Country setting into a competitive advantage for player growth and recruitment.
