Bentley University's Ryan Soderquist stepped down earlier this week as men's hockey head coach at his alma mater, after 21 seasons at the Falcons helm.
Soderquist, 46, had served as Bentley's head coach since the 2002-03 campaign, and led them to a 277-377-85 mark (.432) in that time. His best season came in 2013-14, when he guided the Falcons to a 19-14-4 overall record. Bentley also advanced to the 2006 Atlantic Hockey championship game under his watch, where it fell to Holy Cross, while the on-campus Bentley Arena opened in Waltham, Mass. in 2017-18, also during his tenure.
The Falcons finished 11-21-2 overall and 8-16-2 in Atlantic Hockey in 2002-23. The season ended with a 5-4 overtime win against Army on Feb. 25, in what turned out to be Soderquist's final game behind the bench.
A native of Stoneham, Mass., Soderquist played four seasons at forward for the Falcons from 1996 to 2000, the first three at the NCAA Division II/III level. He tallied 65 goals and 60 assists for 125 points in 71 games his first three years, before adding 19-29—48 points in 28 contests as a senior as Bentley moved up to NCAA Division I. He finished with 84-89—173 points in 99 career collegiate outings.
