Former BC High and Stoughton Mentor Tapped to Succeed Alvin Crowell at High School Helm
James Gormley, former head hockey coach at Boston College High School and Stoughton High School, has been appointed head hockey coach at Norwood High School.
James Gormley, who lives in Norwood, was previously a Norwood freshman-jayvee hockey coach, marking a return to the hometown ranks where his instructional career first began. He was appointed recently by the School Committee, replacing Alvin Crowell, who resigned from the varsity post.
For his upcoming winter campaign leading the program, James Gormley will be paid a fixed salary of $2,786. His extensive coaching career originally began in 1963 in Norwood, where he coached young local skaters for seven years. Following that initial stint, he spent four years as the head coach at Stoughton High School. After a subsequent five-year break from the demanding coaching circuit, he returned to the ice at Boston College High School in Dorchester in 1979.
He coached at the Dorchester institution until resigning this year to accept the hometown vacancy. Outside of his seasonal work on the ice rink, James Gormley has been employed as a social studies teacher at Stoughton High School since 1970, maintaining a long-standing career in public secondary education.
