Bob is a certified hockey lifer. In 1959 he entered St. John's Prep in Danvers as a freshman netminder. After playing for two years at St. John's, he finished his high school career at St. Mary's in Lynn as a league All-Star. He then attended Providence College and played for the Friars. In the early 1990s, he joined up with the Boston Junior Terriers of the old Metropolitan Boston Hockey League. That led to gigs with the Eastern Junior Hockey League, the New England College Development League, and the Tyngsboro/Nashua Huskies. Rotondo started the Northeast Women's Hockey League (NEWHL). That was the beginning of women's hockey in the Boston area. This was the only place that women came to play. It had players from junior high and high school coming to play. Rotondo and a few partners started to cobble together NEWHL All-Star teams and began playing in a number of regional tournaments. While Rotondo immersed himself in the business of running leagues, club teams and hockey rinks, he also was making a name for himself as a goalie instructor. Rotondo established Puckstoppers Goaltending and opened his own synthetic ice training facility. Rotondo was also one of the founders of the East Coast Wizards. He eventually went out on his own and became the driving force behind the Boston Shamrocks. The Boston Shamrocks are clearly the apple of Rotondo's eye. The elite all-female Shamrocks remain his pride and joy. The list of Shamrock alumnae who have gone on to play at over 50 Division 1 and Division 3 colleges is impressive, playing at programs such as Amherst, Boston University, Clarkson, Harvard, Maine, New Hampshire, Notre Dame, Providence, St. Anselm, and Yale, to just name a few. Asked what he'd like his legacy to be, once he finally walks away from the game, Rotondo thinks for a moment, and then says, “Just that I helped a bunch of kids go to school, and become great women.” |

At the age of thirteen, Coach Corl began training under Robert Rotondo. After six years of top on-ice instruction and player development, Molly received the opportunity to play for an elite junior women's hockey team outside Toronto, then known as the Toronto Rattlers. After an extremely successful one-year stint with the Rattlers, Molly returned to New England to pursue her career at Saint Anselm College. Rotondo started the Boston Shamrocks in 2008, using Molly's experience playing junior hockey in Toronto as a basis for the program's design and implementation. Corl had a very successful four-year career at St. Anselm College. While playing for the Hawks she was twice named the ECAC East Second All-Star for her outstanding defense. In her junior year she ranked second in the conference and seventh in the country in scoring for defenseman, with 7 goals and 18 assists for 25 points. In her senior season, Corl once again made the ECAC East Second-Team and was named to the ECAC All-Tournament Team for the ECAC Tournament. Prior to joining the Shamrocks coaching staff, Corl lived and played in Prague, Czech Republic. While there, she played for HC Slavia Praha under the Czech National team coach and alongside many of the Czech National Team players. During the 2012-13 season, Corl had the opportunity to play throughout the Czech Republic as well as in Vienna, Austria and Oulu, Finland. She was also named the top defenseman of the Champions League Tournament held in Vienna, Austria. Corl joined the Shamrocks coaching staff in 2013, the inaugural season of the u16 team, and has enjoyed her role ever since. She has seen many players go on to college as well as move up to the u19 team and stay in the organization. Corl's favorite part of the job is seeing the development of the players and team throughout the season and watching players reach their potentials. |
