Walter Fitzgerald

Walter Fitzgerald was an American collegiate ice hockey coach serving as head coach of the UMass Minutemen men's ice hockey team for the 1949-50 season. The program was still reeling after the program was suspended due to lack of financing, frequent poor conditions at UMass Amherst Pond and World War II. His predecessor, Thomas Filmore would compile a record of 0-5-0 over his two years as head coach. Inadequate facilities led to the team playing almost all of its games on the road during his tenure. Fitzgerald would compile a 2-3-2 record in his one season as head coach.
