Girls' Varsity Hockey

Molly Gintoli's “team first” approach with her student-athletes helps breed a winning culture in the rink, in the classroom, and beyond the hilltop. The highly competitive schedule allows these student-athletes to be sought after by DI & DIII NCAA institutions. Molly previously won a New England Prep Championship with The Westminster School in 2011 and competed for four years with NCAA DIII Salve Regina University in Rhode Island. While there, Molly was honored with the Sportsmanship Award, presented to student-athletes who have earned the respect of fellow athletes, coaches, and administration for superior athletics and for continually demonstrating those qualities associated with good sportsmanship. 

 

Following her collegiate career, Molly has coached five seasons: two as an assistant at The Hun School of Princeton, New Jersey, with the back-to-back league champion boys team, and three at Canterbury, where she brings a wealth of experience as both a player and coach. Molly is USA Hockey certified and was accepted into the USA Hockey intern program in Minnesota in 2019. There, she had the opportunity to work with the Girls Select National camp players as well as coaches at the National, Division I, Division III, and Prep School levels. 

 

 

Before joining Canterbury in 2021, Casey Lyons spent two years coaching Division I Women’s Lacrosse as a graduate assistant at Canisius College in Buffalo, NY. Prior to that, she was the Head Coach of the U19 Halton Hills Lady Bulldogs (2018–2019 Georgetown, Ontario) and coached the youth Halton Hills Lady Bulldogs from 2013–2018. Casey completed her collegiate playing career in 2016 after three seasons at the University of Delaware, DE. An impact player for the Blue Hens, Casey was a three-time IWLCA All-Mid Atlantic selection and All-CAA First Team honoree. She finished her career 13th in program history with 168 points, 19th with 103 goals and ninth with 65 assists. Casey recorded 16 career hat tricks.
 
Casey was a three-year letter winner in hockey and lacrosse at Berkshire School, MA. There, she was named first Team All-American for lacrosse in 2011 and 2012, and led Berkshire Varsity Lacrosse to the 2012 Western New England Class B Title. She captained the team and was a two-time MVP, three-time All-Star team selection, and set—and broke—lacrosse scoring records for all three years of attendance at Berkshire School. Additionally, Casey was a member of the 2011 Canada U19 National Team and won a bronze medal in the World Cup. She was the team’s second leading scorer and was named MVP in the World Cup game vs. England.
