Colby has championship connection behind bench
Assistant coach Mike Latendresse was a freshman when UMaine won the Division I hockey title in 1993.
...There are similarities between the two championship runs, Maine’s in 1993 and Colby’s this month. And if anyone would recognize a resemblance, it would be Mules assistant coach Mike Latendresse.
“I was just talking to (head coach Blaise MacDonald) about it the other day,” said Latendresse, now 47, who was a freshman on the Black Bears’ first national championship team in 1993. “We had a great head coach in Shawn Walsh, and I think we have a great head coach now in Blaise. The players, too. We had the ability to score a crazy amount of goals back in the day, we could do a lot of damage. In a similar way, I think we have that with the Mules, too. And there’s the similarity in goaltenders. Mike Dunham and Garth Snow both went on the play in the NHL, and Sean Lawrence is playing so well right now. We had a defensive corps that was solid, and that’s what we have now.
“This run here has really brought back a lot of memories for me.”
