This marks the first bobblehead of Coach Dow, and it joins the National Championship bobblehead featuring Vermont’s mascot that was unveiled last week. The special edition bobbleheads are being produced by the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum, an official licensee of the University of Vermont.

• Born in Cole Harbour, Nova Scotia, Dow graduated from the University of Maine, where he played, and earned his master’s degree at North Dakota State University. After coaching stints at Maine, Mayville State, Dean College, and Southern New Hampshire, Dow was hired as an assistant coach at Vermont in 2012 and was named the head coach in 2017.
