Clay Van Diest

Head Men’s Hockey Coach at Marian University (NCAA Divison III) / ND Hound ‘12 / SNC Green Knight ‘19 / Dickinson State M.A. ‘23

[Clay Van Diest @CoachDiest]

For 19 years before every game I’ve either hugged my dad or called him and told him I love him and to go “Coach Em Up.” Tonight for the 1st time in my life my dad told me to “Coach Em Up” tomorrow in my 1st game as a head coach. Chills. One of the coolest moments of my life.

What Head Coach Rand Pecknold has done at Quinnipiac is astounding. I can't think of a comp in another major college sport. #CawlidgeHawkey

“I believe in you, but you gotta want this moment.”

True coaching isn't always quiet. It’s about meeting an athlete’s intensity with your own, demanding excellence because you care about their growth more than their comfort in the moment.

That’s the work.

[Scott Van Pelt @notthefakeSVP]

Been at ESPN a long time - this one was an all timer. Before social media, it was as viral as a story can be. I watched it on a tape in the news room. I couldn’t stop watching his teammates.

[Chaz Mootz @ChazMootzCCX]

This was such a cool moment.

Incredible amount of perspective and humility from Mooney.

No better feeling than making your parents proud.

Congrats, @sonshaug, @Hardo27, and @WarroadHShockey

USA women's hockey gold medalist @HilaryKnight describes her team's relationship with the USA men's team as one with a "genuine level of support and respect" that's being overshadowed by a "quick lapse."

"Our achievements shouldn't be overshadowed by anything else other than how great they are."

[Clay Van Diest @CoachDiest]

Couldn’t be prouder of Noah and all he has done for this program. My 1st ever recruit to Marian, thank you for all you’ve built for this program going forward! Going to miss seeing you at the rink every day #RollBlue
