All in the Family
Gaudet heading home to Dartmouth

Hooksett, NH - Jimmy Gaudet will head to the campus of Dartmouth College and join both his father (Bob, Head Coach) and brother (Joey, forward) in the fall of 2008. A senior at Hanover High School, Jimmy is in his rookie season with the New Hampshire Jr. Monarchs and is quickly gaining a reputation as a highly skilled, offensive defenseman. The 6'1 / 180 left shot defensemen is a 1/10/89 and will spend one more season with the Monarchs before joining the Big Green.

"I chose Dartmouth because I know a lot about the school and the hockey program," stated Gaudet. "I feel I will be able to fit right in with both the hockey program and the school academically."

"I am very pleased to see Jimmy make the decision to attend Dartmouth and I know he will have an immediate impact when he arrives in the fall of 2008," stated GM/Head Coach Sean Tremblay. "Jimmy has very good feet, a great stick, and can really make things happen offensively from the blueline. He is a phenomenal person with a desire to be a great hockey player, which is evident by his commitment to playing for us in his senior year. Each day after school he drives an hour to play for us and heads right back to do his schoolwork at night, which is certainly a long, dedicated day."

Jimmy Gaudet will spend one more season with the Monarchs as a post-grad to give him the time to mature physically and work on rounding out his overall game. With two full EJHL season under his belt, he will be ready to step in and contribute right away on the Big Green's blue line. "I thank the Dartmouth staff along with Coach Tremblay and Coach Corkum for everything they've done in getting me committed to the school I want to go to," Gaudet mentioned. "I look forward to playing for my dad and with my brother at such a high level of the game."

Jimmy is the son of Bob and Lynne Gaudet of Etna, NH.
