Coach Carey Shugrue comes to Pingree with over 10 years of coaching experience, including founding and directing the local Masconomet youth hockey program for girls ages 8-18. She has been a Head Coach at all levels for both Co-ed and Girls and has also been an active MYH board member.  Carey earned her BA from Bowdoin College, where she was captain for both the women's ice hockey and women's rugby teams. She also earned her MEd from Lesley University and worked as a teacher in Topsfield . 

Carey grew up in New Hampshire and was a varsity athlete at Kearsarge Regional HS all 4 years in Soccer, Hockey and Lacrosse. Her dedication to the sport led to opportunities to play internationally throughout the years and she still loves playing regularly.  Her father started one of the first select girl’s programs in order to provide she and her teammates an opportunity to excel in the sport. Carey seeks to do the same for girls today: use hockey as a platform for opportunity both in and out of the rink.
