St. Lawrence University Athletics

One of the best defensemen ever to play the college game, Pat Presley dominated Eastern college hockey during the late 1950’s and was St. Lawrence’s first two-time All America defenseman.

Pat still holds the St. Lawrence record for career goals and career points by a defenseman and led the Saints to two NCAA Tournament appearances. He scored 24 goals and had 48 assists for a total of 72 career points. He was also a standout pitcher in baseball, leading the team to three straight winning seasons.

Named the outstanding athlete at St. Lawrence in his senior year, Pat is now an insurance executive in Ottawa.
