In his first seven seasons, the Bobcats recorded 169 wins with Dumais on staff, none more important than a 3-2 overtime victory over Minnesota to capture the 2023 National Championship, the program's first in its history.
Regarded as one of the best recruiters and assistants in the country, Dumais has been a key part in the Bobcats' four Cleary Cups in the last five seasons. He has been a key part of the Quinnipiac staff, mentoring four, First Team All-Americans during his tenure and eight total All-American honorees.
He also has six Hobey Baker Award finalists in his tenure at Quinnipiac and nine major ECAC Award winners since joining the Bobcat coaching staff in 2016-17.
Before Quinnipiac, Dumais spent five years at Union College and was part of both Frozen Fours, including the 2014 National Championship team that also defeated Minnesota. He also made four NCAA Tournament appearances during his time with the then-Dutchmen and won three Whitelaw Cups as the ECAC Tournament Champions.
Overall, Dumais has 312 wins on his resume between stops at Quinnipiac, Union and UConn. He also holds two National Championships, three Frozen Fours, four Cleary Cups and three Whitelaw Cups. He has mentored 16 All-Americans, 41 All-League Selections, 11 All-Rookie Selections and Nine Hobey Top 10 Finalists.
Dumais currently resides with his wife Theresa and their four kids, Colin, Katelyn, Elizabeth and Andrew.
He will formally receive the award at the 2024 AHCA Convention, held from May 1-4 in Naples, Fla.
