Lindsay Macy begins her second year as head coach at Saint Benedict. Hired on May 2, 2022, Macy is the program's eighth coach.
In her first year, Macy directed the Bennies to a program-best 11 conference wins and tied the program-mark for total wins with 14. CSB was 14-12 overall with an 11-7 record in league play in the MIACÂ in 2023. The Bennies advanced to the conference semifinals. Two players were named All-MIAC.
Macy comes to Saint Benedict after two seasons as the head women's hockey coach at Finlandia University, a role she had filled since May 2020. At Finlandia, she orchestrated a rebuild of the program in her two seasons. She earned NCHA Coach of the Year honors – a first in Finlandia women’s hockey history – after guiding the Lions to their best record since the 2017-18 season.

Macy also owns Relentless Hockey, a summer hockey school in Idaho that trains hockey players at all levels of the game. She started her coaching career at the Coeur D’Alene Hockey Academy in Cour d’Alene, Idaho, where she spent three seasons as the general manager and head coach of the U19 women’s team that competed as the only U.S. team in the prestigious Canadian Sport School Hockey League. Macy was an assistant for both the boys’ and girls’ varsity hockey programs in her hometown of Owatonna, and served as the head coach of the JV boys’ team.
