  • His Hero Was Dominik Hasek. Why? Because for Eric Sorenson, Growing up in the Rochester, New York, Area, Near Buffalo
    First ever River men's hockey coach Eric Sorenson was the top assistant for Williams College legendary coach Bill Kangas, left. (Courtesy photo) NASHUA – His hero was Dominik Hasek. Why? Because for Eric Sorenson, growing up in the Rochester, New York, area, near Buffalo, anyone who followed hockey followed the team iconic goaltender Hasek was most associated with, the Buffalo Sabres. And he wanted to be a goalie. “I really don’t know why,” he said. “I don’t know if it was the equipment or what. I was a fan of Haskek, I had a poster of him on my wall, and I had a poster of Patrick Roy. “I remember before I was playing ice hockey I was playing floor hockey at the local YMCA. A coach was doing a drill and I made a save on the coach and all the kids were going ‘Ohhhhhhh’. I liked the feeling of taking away a goal when someone was trying to score. You’re not always active, but you never come off the ice.” Sorenson didn’t start playing ice hockey though, until he was around 10-years-old. “Obviously, I loved it from the second I got on the ice,” Eric Sorenson said. Good thing, as Sorenson was just recently named the first head men’s hockey coach at Rivier University, which announced two months ago it was going to add men’s and women’s hockey programs to their athletic program. Enter Sorenson. “For me it started out as, obviously, the opportunity to be a head coach,” Sorenson said.
