Lindsay Berman returned to her alma mater as an assistant coach in August 2018. Since arriving back on Huntington Ave., Berman has helped guide the Huskies to five-straight Hockey East Championships, three-straight Frozen Four appearances, a first-ever appearance in the National title game in 2021 and four Beanpot titles (2020, 2023, 2024, 2025).
Â
Ahead of the 2022-23 season with the Huskies, Berman was named an assistant coach for the 2023 U.S. Under-18 Women's National Team, and helped guide Team USA to a bronze medal at the 2023 IIHF U-18 World Championship. Berman also serves as an assistant coach for the U.S. Collegiate Select Team during the summer.Â

Berman guides the Huskies’ penalty kill unit, which has finished with a penalty killing percentage above .870 over the past six seasons. In 2020-21, the unit allowed just three goals on 64 power play opportunities, for a .953 penalty killing percentage, the Huskies’ best mark in the Hockey East era (2002).

Berman was instrumental in the development of four-time All-American, two-time Patty Kazmaier Top-10 Finalist and three-time Hockey East Best Defenseman Skylar Fontaine. Under Berman’s tutelage, Tuva Kandell, Jules Constantinople, Abbey Marohn, Maude Poulin-Labelle, Brooke Hobson, Megan Carter and Fontaine all earned All-Hockey East recognition. Carter earned Hockey East's Best Defender honors and Paige Capistran was named the Hockey East Sportsmanship award winner.
