Chris Serino '71
Serino was a three sport athlete for AIC from

hockey as a wing, Serino earned his highest acclaim on the diamond.
As a senior in 1971, he posted a batting average of .472, tops in
the College Division that season and still the school record for

batter in school history to reach the vaunted .400 mark. He earned
Topps All-America honors and was named the recipient of the
President's Cup in 1971, awarded to the outstanding senior
athletically at AIC.
After graduation Serino was named the head hockey coach at Saugus
(Mass.) High School, a post he held for 12 seasons.. From there he
went on to Northfield Mount Hermon School for six years, earning
New England Prep Coach of the Year accolades. Serino then served a
nine-year stint (1989-98) as associate head hockey coach and head
baseball coach at the University of New Hampshire, helping guide
the Wildcats to six NCAA tournaments and a Frozen Four in hockey
and a school record 26 wins in baseball in 1997. He then went on to
become head hockey coach at Merrimack College from 1999-2005, also
serving as that school's athletic director for three years. He is
now the Director of Athletics at Malden Catholic HS.
