Scott Borek is an American ice hockey player and coach who has been involved with college hockey for over 35 years.
Career
Borek started his college career at Dartmouth in 1981 and had nearly tripled his point production in his sophomore season when a neck injury forced him to end his playing days prematurely.[1] He remained a member of the Big Green by becoming a student assistant the following year and after graduating with a degree in English He became a full-time coach with Providence becoming his next stop. After seven years in Rhode Island (3 with the Friars and 4 more with Brown) got his first head coaching gig with Division III Colby. Borek was back at the Division I level three years later as an associate coach for Lake Superior State and then head coach a year later.
Borek was taking over from Jeff Jackson after a brief but historic career that saw the Lakers win two national titles in three years. Predictably the results weren't as great as they had been under his old boss but after five years the team appeared to be mired in mediocrity and was fired following the 2001 season.[2] After a year behind the bench at New England College Borek became an assistant at New Hampshire for Dick Umile. He remained with the Wildcats until 2015 when he returned to his old stomping grounds as an associate coach for Providence.[3][4]
Personal Life
Scott's son Gordon was killed in a single-car accident on May 28, 2016.[5]
