 Charlie Holt Retirement Celebration Bowler, 1986 Anonymous gift |
 Mike Rossetti's hat-trick , which capped a Wildcat victory, brought raining down almost 1,000 hats, which had been given out at the door to mark Holt's last home game. March 1, 1986 (Photo credit: Hank Ellsmore) |
In his 18 years at the helm of the Wildcats (1968-1986), Holt compiled a 347-232-18 overall record and guided the team to the 1978-79 ECAC championship and three NCAA Tournament appearances. He won the Spencer T. Penrose Award, as the nation's outstanding college hockey coach, three times. In 1997, he was also inducted into the United States Hockey Hall of Fame. Charlie never won that elusive championship, but he won the hearts of everyone who came in contact with him. He touched many lives and left a legacy of stories and anecdotes.
