SIOUX FALLS, S.D. – Augustana men's hockey head coach
Garrett Raboin has announced the hiring of assistant coach Andy Boschetto. Boschetto joins the Vikings after spending the past two seasons at Colgate.
Â
"I am extremely excited to be adding Andy to our men's hockey staff," Raboin said. "He will be a tremendous teammate and is someone who I feel brings the same work ethic and commitment to building that we seek in our future players.
Â
"His reputation for building teams and developing players makes him a home-run hire. We are fortunate to have him, and I can't wait for Andy and his family to get to Augustana."
Â
While at Colgate (NCAA DI), Boschetto coached the ECAC Hockey Best Defensive Defensemen in 2020-21 and three players who earned ECAC Hockey All-League honors that season. In 2021-22, Colgate went unbeaten in 13 of its final 17 games including an upset of No. 18 Cornell in a best-of-three series in the ECAC Hockey quarterfinals.
Â
Prior to his time at Colgate, Boschetto spent three seasons at Niagara (NCAA DI) and seven seasons with Salve Regina (NCAA DIII). In addition, he has spent time at Curry College (NCAA DIII) and Proctor Academy (Prep).
Â
Boschetto played two seasons of collegiate hockey at Hobart College and played two more seasons at Suffolk University. The native of Chelmsford, Massachusetts, is a 2005 graduate of Suffolk with a bachelor's degree in operations at strategic management.
Â
He and his wife, Stacy, have two sons, Rome and Lucca, and one daughter, Adeline.
Â
"Andy is a great family man and hockey person," Raboin added. "As we look to build our program, you can't bring enough great people on-board for the ride."
