Coach: Marcel Choquette NSCAA licensed
Marcel Choquette, will be coaching the Nordic 14 Premier Girls for the 2nd consecutive year after guiding them to their first State Cup victory in 2008. Choquette is also the winningest coach in St Michael's Womens Soccer program history, entering his 10th season at the helm of the program in 2008.
In just six years, Choquette became the winningest coach in school history, matching the previous record of 52. Despite competing in the heavily talented Northeast-10 Conference, Choquette has guided his teams to six 500-or-better seasons (including an 8-7-3 record in 2007), including five straight from 2000-04, and three consecutive winning campaigns from 2000-02. In addition, his teams' list of achievements include: most wins in a season, most goals in a season, most assists in a season, most total points in a season, three consecutive conference tournament appearances, and the program's first ever bid to the ECAC Division II Tournament. He has the second-highest winning percentage of any women's soccer coach in program history (.479, 72-79-12).
Choquette came to Saint Michael's from nearby Missisquoi Valley Union High School where he taught Physical Education and served as the Director of Athletics and Head Coach for the girl's soccer program. In addition to 12 years of experience in public education, he also had coaching stints at Norwich University and Lyndon State College. In addition to his work experience, he holds a Master's degree in Athletic Administration, and an Advance National Coaching Diploma from the NSCAA and is a New England ODP Regional staff coach.
Choquette's playing experience includes a four-year college career at Lyndon Sate College where he was a three-time All-Conference selection, and an All-New England and All American candidate. He is still among the school record holders for career points, career goals, and career assists. He has also played professionally, most recently with the Vermont Wanderers (Voltage). Along with his coaching duties, Choquette has administrative duties in the Athletic Department, including Intramural Director and Director of Summer Sports Camps. He presently resides in Milton. |
