PROVIDENCE, RI - Brown women's soccer assistant coach, Denis
Chartier, has been named one of seven inductees into the New
England Soccer Hall of Fame, announced today. The NESHOF will honor
its inductees at its 32nd Annual Induction Ceremony on November 1,
2009 at the Riviera Inn in East Providence, RI. The ceremony will
commence at noon. With Chartier's coming induction, all three
members of the Brown women's soccer coaching staff will be in the
New England Soccer Hall of Fame, as head coach Phil Pincince was
inducted in 1996 and assistant coach Luis Faria was inducted in
2006.
Joining Chartier in the 2009 Class are: former New York Cosmos
player Carlos Carlos, Franklin Youth Soccer coach and referee
Richard Frongillo, current Boston College men's soccer head coach
Ed Kelly, current ESPN soccer commentator Janusz Michallik, former
U.S. Soccer Federation secretary Hank Steinbrecher, and former
Rhode Island Oceaneers attacking midfielder Michael Stricklin.
Chartier has spent 13 combined years (1989-01, 2008-present) as the
women's soccer assistant coach. Under his tutelage, the Bears
claimed four Ivy League Championships. In between stints, Chartier
took the head coaching responsibilities at Rhode Island College,
where he guided the Anchorwomen to their first-ever ECAC Women's
Soccer Tournament in 2006, after posting a school-record 14 wins.
Included in the 14-win season were nine consecutive victories
spanning from September 9 to October 4, the program's longest
winning streak. The Anchorwomen also shattered the program record
for single-season goals (51), assists (47), and points (149).
Recognized as an outstanding teacher, he was the head coach of the
RI-USA Strikers from 2001-2003 and an assistant coach with the
Rhode Island United U-12 team in 1995. He has served as the
director and coach with the DMC Soccer Clinics from 1991-1998 and
was the director of coaching and referees for the
Burrillville-Glocester Youth Soccer Association from 1983-2001.
A classmate of Pincince at Woonsocket High School where they were
both captains, Chartier served four years with the United States
Air Force in Rhein Mein, Germany following his graduation from high
school. While in Germany, he played for the European All-Star team
(1975-1977).
Chartier, who holds a USSF "B" coaching license, earned a
bachelor's degree in management from Johnson & Wales in
1984.
He and his wife, Denise, have two sons, Joseph and Matthew and two
grandchildren, and reside in Oakland, Rhode Island.
