Caulfield became head coach of a new program that joined the Northeast Division of the Division II ACHA Hockey and took the program to one of the elite programs in the area and region. With his positive attitude, spirit, |
and knowledge of the game, Rowan saw immediate benefits with Caulfield behind the bench. The program secured only the second playoff berth in team history while also garnering Rowan's first two playoff victories and the team's advancement to the Conference finals. The team's success in the playoffs made Coach Caulfield be tabbed to coach the GNCHC All-Star team for the 2007 season.
Caulfield's hard work and dedication has made his second year even better as the 2007/08 season saw the team have a great turnout at the ACHA showcase, have a nine game winning streak, and putting the Profs on the national spotlight with the team being ranked in the Northeast Division. The team made their second consecutive playoff appearance under Caulfield and made history by winning their Conference in dramatic fashion. Caulfield's popularity and success behind the bench had him once again be tabbed to head coach the All-Star team in 2008.
In his third season behind the bench, the team moved to the MACHA conference joining ranked teams such as UMBC, Temple, and Penn State as well as a move to the Southeast Division. Although the season result has not been as good as in the past with the team missing the playoffs for the first time under Caulfield, the team still made strides by being ranked in the Southeast Division and enjoying a great midseason run that saw them go 7-1-2. Caulfield is hoping for a turnaround this season with sight set on the playoffs and another team successful season.
