COACHING GREATS
Dartmouth has had a long history of illustrious tennis coaches including Edward G. "Red" Hoehn, Wayne Van Voorhees, and John Kenfield.
For twenty five years, Red Hoehn guided the Big Green tennis and squash programs. He came to Dartmouth in 1938 as one of the top amateur squash players in the country. While at Dartmouth, Red held the position of President of the Intercollegiate Squash Coaches Association. Red recruited his son Dick, who went on to became one of Dartmouth's greatest two sport athletes. Dick earned All-Ivy in both tennis and squash and All-American honors in squash. After leaving Dartmouth in 1963, Hoehn became the head tennis and professional at the Longwood Cricket Club in Brookline, MA, and the Badminton and Tennis Club in Boston.
Wayne Van Voorhees guided the tennis and squash programs for three years after Red Hoehn retired. Van Voorhees competed in international tennis and enjoyed a national ranking. An injured right arm forced him to learn to play left handed. He became proficient enough to compete evenly with both squads. Van Voorhees resigned to a career in theater and motion pictures in Hollywood, New York and Paris as a writer, actor, director and producer.
After 17 years and more than 340 matches, John Kenfield handed over the reigns to current head coach Chuck Kinyon in 1983. After serving as a pilot in World War II, Kenfield returned to play at the University of North Carolina in 1948. Playing for his father, he posted a stellar 23-1 record as a junior. The elder Kenfield was responsible for the legendary Tarheel tennis teams of the 40's and 50's. After a 17-year stint as head coach at North Carolina State University, Kenfield came to Hanover in 1966. Kenfield's teams embodied the Ivy philosophy of good sportsmanship and he relished the opportunity to prepare his players for the challenges of life after school. He has retired to LaJolla, CA, where he can be seen at the Big Green matches during their spring trip.
