Tim Whitehead is an American ice hockey coach at Kimball Union Academy, a boarding school in Meriden, New Hampshire.
[2] While only an interim head coach in his first season with the Black Bears, Whitehead led the team all the way to the NCAA title game, losing to Minnesota 4–3 in overtime.
Whitehead received the Spencer Penrose Award as the NCAA Division 1 National Coach of the Year for his efforts, as well as having the interim tag removed from his job title.
After an 11-win, injury-plagued season in 2012–13 Whitehead was fired by an athletic department trying to find a way to regain a revenue stream that had been declining for 5 years.
Shortly after leaving Maine, Whitehead was named as the head coach for Kimball Union Academy[4] promptly leading the prep school to its second title in his first year behind the bench.
