1980 hockey team: Hurley is second row, third from left.
Dianne P. Hurley Dianne Hurley arrived on campus in the wake of Title IX with great enthusiasm for all manner of sports and was thrilled with Andover’s broad array of offerings. She had participated in the first girls’ ice hockey team in her hometown of Brookline, Mass., so at Andover became part of the inaugural girls’ club team in 1976. By her lower year, the team achieved varsity status, and by her senior year in 1980, it had a full schedule and was undefeated. Hurley earned varsity letters at Andover in hockey, soccer,
track and field, and lacrosse, and won the Press Club Award and the Sumner Smith Hockey Award her senior year. Hurley continued to play hockey the next four years at Harvard, where she was cocaptain her senior year. During her tenure at Harvard, she broke five scoring records—one of the new records would stand for 20 years—and helped lead the Crimson to its first two upset Beanpot victories in 1982 and 1983. After Hurley graduated from Harvard and moved to New York, she played
hockey regularly in Central Park, at the original Sky Rink on West 33rd Street, and at the Ingalls Rink at Yale, where she earned an MBA degree. Hurley resides in New York with her husband and three children. She remains very active in athletics through coaching and volunteering in community hockey and soccer, and has had a career in management and finance.
