HAMDEN, Conn.— Quinnipiac women's ice hockey program welcomes back Sadie Peart '24, as the new Director of Operations and Player Development as announced by head coach Cass Turner on Tuesday, August 12.
Peart returns to Hamden after a one-year stint as an Assistant Coach for Dartmouth Women's Ice Hockey. At Dartmouth, Peart oversaw the forwards while managing power play strategy and skills. She also led all recruiting outreach and relationship-building off the ice for the Big Green.
Prior to that, Peart finished her career as the second-highest scorer in Quinnipiac program history. She totaled 124 points on 60 goals and 64 assists, while playing in 169 games, the most in program history.
"We're thrilled to welcome Sadie back to QU as our Director of Operations and Player Development," said head coach Cass Turner. "With 124 points and two NCAA tournament appearances, Sadie brings a wealth of experience that will continue to elevate our culture of success. She's the kind of player and leader who makes everyone around her better, and she approaches her work with incredible professionalism, organization, and a true passion for helping players grow. Her presence on staff will make an immediate impact as we prepare for an exciting season ahead."
She was named team captain for the 2023-24 after serving as an assistant the season prior and holds a bachelor's degree in sports management and a master's degree in business administration. Peart was also Chair of Quinnipiac's Big Event for QCoor. In this role she organized a campus-wide volunteer event that involved 1,500+ students.
In her time as a Bobcat, Peart also organized youth skates and was named a Wayne Dean Sportsmanship Award finalist as a graduate student. The center was also dominant at the faceoff dot in her career as a Bobcat, finishing with a 52.4 win percentage while taking nearly 1,700 draws over her last two seasons in Hamden. She ranked fourth nationally in faceoffwins in 2023-24.
"Returning to Quinnipiac in this role truly feels like a dream come true," said Peart. "This program has always felt like home, surrounded by passionate leaders whose example continues to inspire and challenge me. I'm eager to get started with this exceptional group of women and staff, building on a tradition of excellence together."
As a team, QU had success during each year in Peart's time, making the ECAC Hockey playoffs each season, with three trips to the semifinals. The Bobcats also had two NCAA Tournament appearances in that period, with Peart scoring a goal and an assist in four games played.
Prior to Quinnipiac, Peart was a standout at Grand Rapids High School, scoring 234 points. This earned her a spot as a top-10 finalist for the Minnesota Miss Hockey Award.
Away from Quinnipiac and Dartmouth, Peart also served in 2022 and 2023 as a USA Hockey Team Leader at the U18 National Development Camp. She also was an on-ice coach at Caroline Hurricanes Hockey Camp in 2022.
