He’ll take over for the departing Joe Bertagna, who is stepping aside after 23 years. Metcalf comes to this position after working in Athletics Administration at UNH and after serving on the NCAA Division 1 Ice Hockey Committee since 2015.
“Simply put, Steve is a connector whose knowledge of hockey and our league is outstanding,” said Drew Marrochello, current chair of the Hockey East men’s executive committee and director of athletics at Boston University. “He has made strong impressions in several different circles during his time at UNH, and it was a true consensus decision to bring him on as our next commissioner.”
