Connecticut College Athletic Hall of Fame
Chip Orcutt '84 helped establish a reputation for excellence on the ice, serving as one of the leaders for the first winning hockey team in the history of the program. Orcutt set the foundation for the team’s later success, while also serving as a backbone of the men’s soccer squad.
As a forward on the ice hockey team, Orcutt was one of the most prolific scorers for the Camels. In his sophomore season, the first winning season in the program’s history, he scored a school record 25 goals. Orcutt went on the graduate as the program’s all-time leading scorer with 63 career goals and was second all-time in both career assists (45) and career points (108). A team captain as a senior, Orcutt was known for his gutsy play in the corners and served as an inspiration for future players.
As a three-year soccer player, Orcutt anchored the team as a starting goaltender. In addition to serving as a team captain as a senior, he received the squad’s Most Valuable Player Award in 1983. Orcutt closed his career 1.30 goals against average.
