Ryan Quinn to take reigns of Boys LAX program

The CHS Athletic Department is thrilled to announce the appointment of Ryan Quinn as our new Head Varsity Boys Lacrosse coach. Quinn succeeds Tim Taylor who was named head coach prior to the spring 2020 season but due to the cancelation of that season, never coached a game before having to move on due to professional obligations.

Quinn is currently a teacher and technology specialist at the Galvin Middle School- a position he took after more than 15 years in the private sector serving in various marketing and project management roles. 

Quinn played his collegiate lacrosse at Merrimack College under coach Ryan Polley where he also played on the Mens Soccer team. He is a volunteer coach for his son's youth soccer, lacrosse, baseball, basketball and football teams in recent years. 

"Canton has a rich sports history and I am blessed and honored to join the CHS Athletic Department," noted Quinn. "The passion and commitment from Administration, staff and players has been contagious and has been evident throughout the interview process.  We have a huge opportunity in from of us and we will not take that lightly. Very excited to get going."

Quinn inherits a team that had been under coach Bill Bendell for nearly two decades before taking a pandemic break in 2020.  In many ways it will be a whole new team taking the field next month.  Bulldog Boys LAX student athletes should keep their eyes open for upcoming informational Zoom with coach Quinn.
