Corkum named Shrine coach

Concord High School head coach Jim Corkum will serve as New Hampshire’s coach for the 2025 Shrine Maple Sugar Bowl. The announcement was made Tuesday night at the Joe Yukica Foundation’s Jeff Francoeur Huddle.

Corkum played at Concord High School and recently completed his fourth season as Concord’s head coach. He played in the 2003 Shrine Maple Sugar Bowl, a 37-7 New Hampshire victory.

“I told the people at the Shrine office I’d be interested if they were looking for a coach,” Corkum said. “Having been part of it as a player I know what a great opportunity it is to be part of it as a head coach.”

Vermont beat New Hampshire 26-21 last summer, but New Hampshire leads the series 50-18-2.

The 2025 Shrine Maple Sugar Bowl will be played Aug. 2 at Vermont State-Castleton’s Dave Wolk Stadium. The opening kickoff is scheduled for 11:30 a.m. All proceeds will benefit Shriners’ Hospitals in Springfield, Mass., Montreal and Boston.

Corkum said his coaching staff has yet to be finalized.

“My experience playing in the game was fantastic,” Corkum said. “I think back to the friendships I made there. I’m still in touch with some of those guys. The game, especially when you think about the cause … it’s a special thing to be a part of.”
