Steve Novodor enters his second season as the head coach of the Albertus Magnus College women's ice hockey team for the 2024-2025 season, after the program's inaugural season in 2023-24. 

During the 2023-2024 season, the women's ice hockey team finished with a 7-13-4 record overall. Albertus finished the season strong, not losing in February. They won three of the five games with the other two ending in ties. The team enjoyed a two-game sweep of King's (Pa.) where they won 5-1 and 4-2 in back-to-back games. 

Molly Martin (Buffalo, N.Y.) led the way for the Falcons, recording 25 points with nine goals and 16 assists on the season. Christmas Johnson (Winnipeg, Manitoba) had a great season between the pipes for the Falcons, finishing the year with a .930 save percentage.

Novodor has more than 15 years of experience, including coaching stints at the collegiate, prep school, and youth levels.

A resident of Cheshire, Novodor joins the Falcons after most recently serving as an Assistant Coach at the Loomis Chaffee School in Windsor, Conn. During his 10-plus years at Loomis, the squad claimed the Founders League title in 2015 and the Large School New England Championship in 2014 and 2020.

Novodor has also served as a Director and Head Coach with Yale Youth Hockey since 2014, preceded by a run as the Head Coach at Southern Connecticut State University and additional experience with multiple youth and amateur organizations in Connecticut. Under Novodor's guidance, the Yale Junior Bulldogs U15 Tier 1 program won a USA Hockey National Championship.
