Having joined the Daniel Webster College community back in 1983,
its seems there's almost no role that Paul Labarre hasn't filled at
one time or another during his tenure.
Now in his 20th year serving Daniel Webster ice hockey, Labarre's
roots with the Eagles program goes back prior to the squad joining
the ACHA in 1993, but it was in that season that the program
lurched forward towards legitimacy with Labarre overseeing the team
as its first coach, a role he filled until 1999.
Despite giving up head coach duties, Labarre has continued to serve
as an assistant coach and oversees the program's daily
operations.
Labarre began teaching part-time at DWC in 1983 and since that
time, he has held a number of full-time positions including
director of admissions, baseball coach, instructor, director of
academic support services, director of alumni relations, director
of graduate admissions, Air Force ROTC instructor, and currently as
director of parent relations. He has also served as director of the
College's highly successful Aviation Career Education (A.C.E.)
camp.
Labarre spent a number of years in the military, joining the United
States Navy when he was 17. Following a tour of duty, he joined the
United States Air Force, where was a meteorologist and later earned
a master of arts degree in Psychology from Pepperdine
University.
A longtime resident of Salem, N.H., Labarre is a certified hockey
referee and serves as referee-in-chief for Salem Youth Hockey. He
resides in Windham, N.H.
