Girls Varsity Ice Hockey

Coach Yeaton has joined the STA-WHS Girls Hockey team this year! He is a Winnacunnet alum where he was a 3-year varsity athlete on the Boys Ice Hockey team, as well as his senior year in Football.

In 2008 he was the Girls Varsity goalie coach for the Reading, MA high school hockey team. For the two years following, he was co-coach for the Winnacunnet High School JV team, while also serving as volunteer goalie coach for the varsity. After the demise of the JV program, he continued as Assistant Coach/Goalie Coach for the varsity through the 2016-2017 season.

In addition to coaching, he is an English teacher at Winnacunnet High School and also works as an AEMT for Rye (NH) Fire & Rescue. At school, he is an advisor for the Writers Club and the Juggling Club, and runs the Haunted Hotel in conjunction with Lamie’s Inn in Hampton every October. 

After graduating high school, he continued his athletic career at Marietta College where he participated in football, soccer, and rowing. He succeeded in all sports but was especially talented in rowing, where he was 3rd in the nation for JV Lightweight at Dad Vail Regatta his junior year, and 10th in the nation for Varsity Lightweights, Dad Vails his senior year. After graduating from Marietta College, he attended the University of New Hampshire for graduate school where he continued his participation in athletics, including the Ultimate Frisbee Team.

Post-college, he has continued to stay active in all things physical! He played adult league hockey from 1982-2013, thru-hiked the entire Appalachian Trail (he has also maintained a remote section of the Appalachian Trail since 1985 ), co-led a cross-country bicycle trip for 6 high school students, completed the RAGBRAI in 2015 (The Register's Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa), and has hiked all of the New England 4000 ft peaks, just to name a few! He has also been an EMT since 1983 and has worked on several ambulances as well as search & rescue teams. 

Since he has so much free-time, he teaches medical courses in the summer for people who need to work in remote environments (trip leaders, park serve personnel, guides, various specific branches of the military, etc). Some students include Antarctic guides, Everest veterans, and people who cannot talk about what they do outside of class (sshhh)!
