“I am honored and excited to be named the next head coach at Bentley University,” said Jones. “I believe there is tremendous opportunity here for the ice hockey program to grow into a formidable force in Atlantic Hockey and NCAA Division I. The energy and vision of Director of Athletics Vaughn Williams and President E. LaBrent Chrite, coupled with the support of the diverse and dynamic Bentley community and the state-of-the-art Bentley Arena, demonstrate a clear commitment to the success of Bentley ice hockey.” 

Amid a mix of sunshine, a light breeze and a sea of “Bentley blue” t-shirts, Bentley’s weeklong move-in festivities kicked off with high energy as the university welcomed the Class of 2027. The 1,138 students in the entering class — including 24% who are the first generation in their families to attend college — arrived on campus with an impressive list of accomplishments. Among them: a technophile who builds PCs from scratch, an “extra” actor on HBO, a licensed livestock agent, a mogul skier ranked in the top 10 in the world, an excavator of ancient tombs in Greece, a volunteer who teaches math to children in orphanages, an American Ninja Warrior and an inventor of a device to save lives during heart surgery.
