700 Wins for Legendary BTHS Hockey Coach

Auriemma now the state's winningest coach

Brick Township High School head hockey coach Bob Auriemma is now New Jersey's winningest coach on the ice, and the nation's second most-winningest coach.

The 8-2 win against St. John Vianney at the Jersey Shore Arena in Wall was Auriemma's 700th win since starting as coach in 1964 after coming to Brick Township High School in 1962.

The 700th victory is just the latest milestone for Auriemma, who has guided the Dragons to numerous championships during his tenure. In 2010, he was inducted into the New Jersey High School Ice Hockey Hall of Fame, according to a profile on NHL.com.
