Courtney Kessel in final discussions to take over as Princeton women's hockey coach, AP sources say

  • Courtney Kessel, the Boston Fleet coach since its 2023 launch, is in final talks to become Princeton women's hockey head coach as of June 17, 2025.
  • Kessel's potential move follows Cara Gardner Morey's departure from Princeton to manage Vancouver's PWHL expansion team, creating the coaching vacancy.
  • Kessel played and coached at Princeton, led the Fleet to a 27-19-8 record, reached the Walter Cup finals in 2024, but Boston missed playoffs in 2025 amid player departures.
  • Boston lost captain Hilary Knight to Seattle's expansion team, and Kessel expressed pride in relationships formed while facing a difficult choice to leave the Fleet.
  • Kessel's move would mark a homecoming to Princeton, where the program won its first ECAC title in 2020 and had a school-record 26-win season under Gardner Morey.
