Tim Whitehead is an American ice hockey coach at Kimball Union Academy, a boarding school in Meriden, New Hampshire. He was formerly the head coach at Maine for 12 years and Massachusetts-Lowell for 5.^[1]

Career

Whitehead Spent 4 years at Hamilton College, graduating from the Division II school in 1985 before embarking on his coaching career. He returned to the D-II ranks as an assistant at Middlebury for two years before joining the powerhouse program at Maine for the 1990–91 season. Whitehead's next stop was at Massachusetts-Lowell where he would remain as an assistant to Bruce Crowder for five years before replacing him in 1996. Whitehead would remain head coach of the River Hawks for a further five seasons before returning to Maine to replace his former boss Shawn Walsh who succumbed to cancer prior to the 2001–02 season.^[2]

While only an interim head coach in his first season with the Black Bears, Whitehead could take the team all the way to the NCAA title game, losing to Minnesota 4-3 in overtime. Whitehead received the Spencer Penrose Award for his efforts as well as having the interim tag removed from his job title. Two years later he would take Maine back to the championship match, this time losing 1-0 to Denver. Whitehead's success in Orono would continue through the 2006–07 season including two more trips to the Frozen Four but the Black Bears started going through a slump towards the end of the decade. Maine would miss the NCAA tournament four consecutive years until returning for a one-game appearance in 2012. After an 11-win, injury-plagued season in 2012–13 Whitehead was fired by an athletic department trying to find a way to regain a revenue stream that had been declining for 5 years.^[3]

Shortly after his removal Whitehead was named as the head coach for Kimball Union Academy^[4] promptly leading the prep school to its second title in his first year behind the bench.^[5]

Personal Life

Tim lives with his wife, Dena, and his two children, Natalie (12) and Zachary (10).
