 STANDISH,
ME – Saint Joseph's College (Maine) has announced the hiring of
Rick Burrill as head athletic trainer.
Burrill will be in charge of the St. Joe’s training staff after
spending the last 16 years as an athletic trainer in professional hockey,
including the last two seasons with the Portland Pirates of the American
Hockey League. Prior to his stint in Portland he was a member of the
Los Angeles Kings’ training staff for seven years.
In 2006, Burrill was recognized by the Professional Hockey Athletic
Trainers Society for having worked in 1,000 professional hockey games.
“We are very pleased to have Rick join our staff,” said
Athletic Director Brian Curtain. “We feel fortunate to have someone
with his background and know he will be a great new addition to the
Saint Joseph's College community.”
A native of Freeport, Maine and Freeport High School graduate, Burrill
earned his Bachelor of Science degree at Northeastern University and
is a member of the National Athletic Trainers' Association.
Burrill succeeds Lisa Ahearn, who will remain with the college as a
full-time faculty member in the Sports Management Department after serving
nine years as the Head Athletic Trainer.
