NMH Hockey Coach is a Hall-of-Famer

MOUNT HERMON, MA—The hockey career of Northfield Mount Hermon School coach Nadine Muzerall was launched back in Mississauga, Ontario, when she was 5 years old. Bored with ballet, she opted for the excitement of hockey, so her mother would cart Nadine to lessons, five miles away, at 5:30 in the morning on the back of her bicycle. Nadine’s 9-year-old brother would ride along side them, carrying his sister’s equipment.

“My passion was hockey,” Muzerall says.

That passion stayed with her through high school at Kimball Union Academy in New Hampshire, and through college at the University of Minnesota, where Muzerall was inducted into the “Club M” Hall of Fame this September for four years of MVP awards, league and national championships, All-American titles, and setting records that still have not been toppled. She was honored at a ceremony during a football game against Ohio State September 29.

Muzerall, twice a finalist for a Patty Kazmaier Award, led the Golden Gophers to wins at both the Women’s College Hockey Association championships in 2000-01 and the AWCHA National Championships in 1999-00 (where she sunk the game-winning goal).

That season, Muzerall scored 49 goals, a record that still stands.

In the Minnesota career record book, Muzerall also is first in goals (139), goals-per-game (1.08), power-play goals(40), and shots (726).

This is Muzerall’s sixth season coaching hockey at NMH. She also coaches soccer and track.

An international leader among college preparatory boarding schools, Northfield Mount Hermon School offers a rigorous academic program, leadership opportunities, diversity of community, and the best of the traditional and innovative in education. NMH enrolls 605 boarding and day students in grades 9 to 12 and postgraduate.
