Shrine coaches announced

Kingswood High School’s Paul Landry has been named New Hampshire’s head coach for this summer’s Shrine Maple Sugar Bowl.

Landry completed his second season at Kingswood in 2020 and has previous experience coaching in the Shrine Maple Sugar Bowl as an assistant coach under Exeter’s Bill Ball. Landry played in the 1986 game and his father, Ralph Landry, played in the 1958 game.

“It certainly would be an honor to represent New Hampshire both as a coach and player,” Landry said. 

Chad Pacheco of Brattleboro Union High School will serve as Vermont’s head coach. Pacheco has been the head coach at Brattleboro since 2015. He was also an assistant coach at Brattleboro from 2005 to 2014.  In 2019, he led Brattleboro to its first state championship in 46 years.

“I feel honored for the opportunity to coach this team and be a part of the long–standing tradition of the Maple Sugar Bowl,” Pacheco said. 

Player nominations from this past fall have been received and the two coaching staffs will be working to select the players over the next few weeks. The Shrine Maple Sugar Bowl Board of Governors continues to monitor the health and safety guidelines from both New Hampshire and Vermont and is communicating with Castleton University where the training camp and game are scheduled to be held. More information will be released as we learn the status of the COVID pandemic and its effects on this summer‘s game.
