Stephen L. Hoar was an American ice hockey coach who led Plattsburgh State to an NCAA Division III National Championship that was later vacated.
After his time at Plattsburgh State, Hoar returned to his studies and earned a master's degree at Boston University.
His tenure with the Jumbos started out well, with a pair of winning seasons, but two consecutive losing campaigns and no playoff victories caused the school to look elsewhere for their head coach.
Hoar returned to his day job as a recreation & skating facility director in Lexington but was eventually lured back to college when Becker decided to field an ice hockey team.
Conference tournament champion † Plattsburgh State voluntarily ruled itself ineligible for postseason play due to an ongoing NCAA investigation.
