Griffin stated the following in an email to the parents of her players- "I am so proud to say that I was part of such a special team...family. I have given my all to being their coach, and it has been an amazing experience. I will carry with me such great memories. But as my own children are getting older, I find that I need to focus on their needs at this time."
Griffin came to CHS fresh off a highly successful playing career at Northeastern University. She brought a wealth of field hockey knowledge and a fiery passion for the sport with her to CHS. Over her nine seasons here, she used that knowledge and passion as a foundation for a coaching career that saw her become more effective working with high school athletes each and every season.
There are many different challenges new coaches take on when they take over a varsity program. Sometimes, a coach is charged with trying to take a struggling program and make it competitive. That can certainly be a big task. However, a strong argument can be made that it may be even more challenging to walk into a successful program, and be sure that that level of success in maintained. That is the story of coach Fior Griffin. She took over one of the most successful Field Hockey programs in the state and she managed to maintain that high level of success for nearly a decade.
The CHS Athletic Department would like to thank coach Griffin for her dedicated service and leadership over the past nine years. We are proud to have had you as our coach over that string of successful seasons. We wish you and your family the best of luck in the future- and hopefully some additional family time next fall!
