Hockey Coach Cara Morey and Rowing Coach Marty Crotty ’98 Step Down

Veteran coaches Cara Morey (women’s ice hockey) and Marty Crotty ’98 (men’s lightweight rowing) resigned in late May and early June, respectively.

Morey, who will become general manager of the Professional Women’s Hockey League’s expansion franchise in Vancouver, spent 14 years on the Princeton women’s hockey staff, serving as head coach for the last seven. Her 2019-20 team was the first in program history to win the ECAC Tournament, though its postseason was cut short when the NCAA Tournament was canceled due to COVID. The Tigers also received an NCAA berth in 2018-19.

Crotty has had a place in the Princeton boathouse for most of the past three decades, first as a heavyweight rower, then as an assistant coach, and, for the last 15 years, as head coach of the men’s lightweights. His crews won two IRA national championships, in 2010 and 2023. Crotty plans to pursue other professional opportunities, according to a news release.

The University announced national searches to fill both roles.
