A source close to the Haverford Ice Hockey Club contacted the Haverford-Havertown Patch to state that another coach has been fired and it may have been due to favoritism.

This comes after a number of already high profile firings. The Haverford High School boys’ soccer coach got the boot last winter, followed by the high school boys’ basketball coach this spring, and then Haverford Ice Hockey Club boys’ coach last Friday. 

Now Kelly Winther, head of the highly successful girls’ ice hockey club, is the latest coach to go down associated with Haverford High School.

Winther confirmed with Patch that she found out last Friday, April 15, that she was fired, without any explanation and the leading reason stated was a poor evaluation on an anonymous coaching survey.

Anonymous surveys are believed to be the leading reasons for the firings of Severini, McNichol and Cleary.
