BOSTON— Northeastern women's hockey alumna, Florence Schelling has been named the general manager of SC Bern in Switzerland's National League. Schelling's hire makes her the first woman in such a role in top-level men's hockey.
 
"I am so very proud of Florence," remarked head coach Dave Flint. "She's an amazing person with a great work ethic. She is helping to pave the way for women to be taken seriously in male dominated jobs. I am excited for her new role and what the future holds for her."
 
Schelling stared between the pipes for Northeastern as a four-year starter from 2008-2012 and with the Swiss National Team for over 14 years. With the Huskies, Schelling was named a Patty Kazmaier Top-Three Finalist in 2012 and graduated owning the career records in minutes played (5878), goals against average (1.74), save percentage (.940) and saves (2681).
 
After retiring from international hockey in 2018, Schelling coached for Switzerland's U18 women's team before her current role with SC Bern. SC Bern is one of the biggest clubs in all of Europe, and were National League champions in 2019 before finishing in ninth-place this past season.
