Ted Donato is the Robert D. Ziff '88 Head Coach for Harvard Men's Ice Hockey. Following success as a player at the collegiate, professional and international levels, Ted has begun piling up a long list of accomplishments in 11 years as head coach at his alma mater. The former Crimson captain has guided Harvard to three 20-win season, captured ECAC Hockey and Ivy League championships, claimed three NCAA tournament berths, led his team to five league championship games, coached five All-Americans and eight National Hockey Leaguers and set a new standard for wins by a Harvard coach in his first three seasons
Donato, who won an NCAA championship as a Crimson player, played in the Olympics and enjoyed a 13-year NHL career, is just Harvard's sixth head coach since 1950. He is the eighth Harvard alum to serve as the program's head coach.
As an undergraduate, Donato finished his career 11th on the Crimson's career scoring chart (50 goals, 94 assists, 144 points) and remains 12th in that category. He earned All-ECAC and All-Ivy League accolades while serving as the 95th captain of Harvard hockey in his 1990-91 senior season.
Donato was named Most Outstanding Player of the 1989 NCAA Frozen Four, where Harvard downed Minnesota, 4-3, in overtime in the NCAA championship game. He earned the Donald Angier Hockey Trophy as the team's most improved player in 1989 and accepted the Ralph "Cooney" Weiland Award for spirit and devotion to Harvard hockey in 1991
A native of nearby Dedham, Mass., Donato was a member of seven United States national teams, including the 1992 Olympic team. He was selected by the Boston Bruins in the fifth round of the 1987 NHL Entry Draft (98th overall), and he signed with his hometown club in March 1992 following the Olympic Games. His 13-year pro career included stops in New York (with the Rangers and Islanders), Los Angeles, Ottawa, Anaheim and St. Louis. He returned to the Bruins as a free agent in July 2003. His NHL career spanned 796 games, in which he scored 150 goals with 197 assists for 347 points.
Donato is a resident of Scituate, Mass., with his wife, Jeannine, and their four children: Ryan, Jack, Nolan and Madelyn
