Hall of Fame
Cannon has been a fixture of the Hawks since joining Saint Anselm as an assistant coach in 1974. He was named head coach a year later in 1975. He solidified his reputation for producing a consistent winner in the Northeast-10 Conference, coaching the program to an NE-10 record 12 titles; six regular season and six tournament, and leading Saint Anselm to back-to-back ECAC Division II Championships in 1998 and 1999.
Over his 11 seasons on the Saint Anselm sidelines, Cannon compiled a 134-65-13 overall record and an 80-29-7 mark in the NE-10 regular season play to go along with a 13-6-1 mark in post season play including two consecutive appearances in the NCAA Division II Regional championships in 2000 and 2001.
When Cannon retired from coaching, we brought with him a career record of 272-204-41 (.566) good enough for eighth place on the all time wins list among Division II Coaches. A six time NE-10 Coach of the Year, Cannon was so honored four times in a five year stretch (19995, 1996, 1998 and 1999).
He has been also recognized by the NSCAA and NEISI through his career, including earning NSCAA Northeast Regional Coach of the Year honors in 1996 and 1998.
