George Francis Menard (September 2, 1927 – April 18, 1990) was an American ice hockey coach.

He was the head coach of St. Lawrence during their renaissance after World War II taking them to five Frozen Fours during his tenure.

The following fall he began attending Brown University, playing both ice hockey and baseball for the Bears to such an outstanding degree that he was signed by the New York Yankees.

[4] Menard continued the Saint's winning ways from the beginning, getting his team to a second straight NCAA tournament in his first season.

When St. Lawrence became a founding member of ECAC Hockey in 1961–62 Menard led the Saints to the inaugural conference tournament title and followed it up with the school's first 20-win season, a feat they wouldn't repeat for 20 years.
