Over a year after being named head coach, Bobby Jay is entering his first official season behind the bench at Middlesex. 

The former pro defenseman came aboard at the start of the 2020-21 season, stepping in for longtime Zebras head coach, Joe Mallen, who spent 18 seasons at the Concord, Mass., prep school after a decade-plus career in the NCAA. 

For Jay, who has held various positions at all different levels of the game, it’s been a long time coming to get behind an Independent School League bench. 

(Previously in NEHJ's prep school preview series: Brunswick, Gunnery, New Hampton, St. Mark’s, Tabor, Loomis Chaffee, Berkshire, St. George’s, Cushing, Belmont Hill)
