The 2026 season marks the third year under Head Coach Joe Rodrigues ‘96, whose leadership continues to shape a program rooted in toughness, commitment, and an unwavering work ethic. In 2025, Westminster’s defensive unit—under Rodrigues’ direction—posted a 9.6 goals-against average, a testament to the team’s organized, cohesive, and resilient style of play.

Returning alongside Rodrigues is Assistant Coach Patrick White, also in his third year, whose dynamic approach and offensive vision earned him the 2024 New England West 1 Assistant Coach of the Year award. Former Quinnipiac University and PLL face-off specialist Demitri George ‘18 returns where he helped the face-off unit post a .577 win percentage in 2025. For the 2026 season, the staff welcomes Malcolm Kleban ’20, a standout goaltender from the University of Denver, who returns to his alma mater as a teacher and assistant coach.
