Luke Day coached in Wellesley from 2002 to 2010, and after a short hiatus from basketball, he’ll return to the court next season in Brookline. Day was hired to takeover the Brookline High School program replacing Mark Fledor who resigned after this year’s season, according to the Boston Herald. Last year, Wellesley Patch published a two-part video interview with Day a year after he had resigned the Wellesley coaching job.

Wellesley Pee Wee A2 hockey took home a championship trophy over the weekend.
On Sunday March 11, the Wellesley Youth Hockey Pee Wee A2 team defeated the Brookline Warriors 6-1 to take the Greater Boston League championship.
