Aerin Frankel Hired As Assistant Coach With NCAA's Stonehill College

She's one of the best goaltenders in the PWHL, and now Boston Fleet netminder Aerin Frankel will step into a coaching role as well as she was announced as a new assistant coach for the 2024-2025 season with the NCAA's Stonehill College.

"We could not be more thrilled to have Aerin join our staff," said Stonehill women's hockey head coach Lee-J Mirasolo. "Her extensive resume, including being a standout for the PWHL Boston, Northeastern University, and USA Hockey, in addition to earning the Patty Kazmaier Award, is a true testament to her athletic ability and knowledge of the game. The fact that she is still competing allows her to connect with the players on a unique level. The only thing more impressive than Aerin's bio is her character. We are so fortunate to have such a humble, thoughtful, and supportive person as part of our program."

Frankel is entering her second season in the PWHL with the Boston Fleet posting a 2.00 GAA and .929 save percentage in 18 games for Boston. In the postseason, Frankel was spectacular leading Boston to the Walter Cup final. In eight games she recorded a 1.45 GAA and .953 save percentage.

Stepping behind the bench with the reigning NEWHA champions, this will be Frankel's coaching debut.

Frankel also has a gold and three silver medals as a member of Team USA at the World Championships.

Frankel and the Stonehill Skyhawks will open their 2024-2025 NCAA season September 28 when they host Boston College. Stonehill College is located in Easton, Massachusetts roughly 26 miles south of Boston.
