Samantha Tarnasky is entering her second year at Millbrook and her first season as head coach. She recently graduated from Williams College with a B.A. in English and Psychology, completing her degree on the dean's List. In her junior season with the varsity women’s hockey team, she led the team both in points and penalty minutes. In her senior season, she was named captain.

 

Her hockey philosophy centers on learning to “think the game” and improving by working hard and smart. She places a strong emphasis on learning from teammates and winning as a team. Her main focus on the ice is to teach accountability, the value of hard work and discipline and to create an atmosphere that fosters each player’s love for the game.
