Andrew Boschetto begins his third season as head coach of the Salve Regina men's ice hockey program in 2012-13.

The Seahawks' record has improved during each of their first two seasons under Boschetto, including last year when they tripled their win total from the previous campaign. Coach Boschetto's first recruiting class made an immediate impact during the 2011-12 season, producing the team's top two scorers in freshmen John Scorcia and Chad Goodwin.

During his first full year at Salve Regina, Boschetto was instrumental in fundraising nearly $30,000 for the men’s ice hockey program. He oversaw the complete renovation of the Seahawks locker room at Portsmouth Abbey Arena as well as the design and purchase of new blue jerseys. Following the season, Boschetto helped spearhead the efforts to renovate the playing surface at Portsmouth Abbey, including new pipes, boards and glass.

Boschetto comes to Salve Regina after serving as an assistant coach at Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Northeast rival Curry College. While at Curry, Boschetto was responsible for scouting and recruiting high school and junior league players while assisting in both practice and game preparation. He also helped evaluate game film and develop off-ice workouts for the Colonels, who captured the 2009-10 ECAC Northeast Championship and qualified for the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Tournament.

Prior to his arrival at Curry, Boschetto served as the head coach of Northern New England in the Fall Prep Elite League, where he guided his team to a 10-3-1 record, a first-place finish in the regular season, and a second-place finish in the playoffs. He was also the head coach and general manager of the Metro Team in the Bay State Games in 2009, this after spending the 2008-09 season as an assistant varsity coach at Proctor Academy in New Hampshire. Boschetto previously worked with N.H. USA Hockey.

Boschetto began his collegiate playing career at Hobart (2001-02), where he established a new single-game points record (five) before transferring to Suffolk University following the 2002-03 academic year. He notched 55 points in 77 career games and earned his bachelor of science in operations and strategic management from Suffolk in 2005.

A native of Watertown, Mass., Boschetto resides in Newport.
