Howie Draper (born April 3, 1967) is a Canadian ice hockey coach for the University of Alberta. He is the winningest head coach in U Sports women's ice hockey history and was the inaugural head coach of PWHL New York.
Career
New York struggled immensely under Draper, finishing in last place with a 5-4-3-12 record and at one point going over two months without a regulation win.[1][2] On May 11, 2024, Draper and New York mutually agreed that he would not return as head coach in the fall. He remained on the team's staff as a special advisor within the scouting department.[3]
