Baldwin Joins Coaching Staff at St. Kate's

University of Minnesota alumna Sydney Baldwin will serve as an assistant coach for the Wildcats while pursuing her graduate degree.
MINNEAPOLIS -- University of Minnesota alumna and two-time national champion Sydney Baldwin has been named an assistant coach for the St. Catherine University women's hockey team, head coach Brad Marshall announced this week.
The Minnetonka, Minn., native played for the Gophers for four years from 2014-15 to 2017-18, winning back-to-back national titles as a freshman and sophomore before serving as a team captain and being honored as both a CCM/AHCA First Team All-American and Patty Kazmaier Memorial Award top-10 finalist as a senior. Baldwin recorded 81 career points (24 goals, 57 assists) in 158 games played for the Maroon & Gold. She is still tied for 10th in career scoring among all-time Gopher defense.
"We're very fortunate to have Sydney join our university and staff," Marshall said. "Her on-ice resume and academic accomplishments are very extensive and unparalleled, but she is such well spoken, smart role model for our student-athletes. Our team will benefit immensely from her experiences both on and off the ice. I'm really looking forward to her working with her. Sydney will primarily focus on working with the defense and special teams, but she will also spend time recruiting this fall/winter."
Baldwin will serve on Wildcats' coaching staff while pursuing her Master of Science in Nursing at the St. Catherine University Graduate College - Henrietta Schmoll School of Health. Most recently, she spent the 2018-19 season playing professional hockey in Vienna, Austria with the EHV Vienna Sabres.
Baldwin is the latest Gopher alum to move to the coaching ranks, joining recent alumnae Jackie Pieper (Chaska High School girls head coach), Taylor Williamson (Wayzata High School girls co-head coach), Paige Haley (Northfield High School girls head coach), and Mira Jalosuo (Stillwater Area High School girls head coach).
