"I'm excited to rejoin the family at Bridgton Academy. BA was a key for me as a student, as an athlete, and as a young man. I had the opportunity to play for Coach Printz in one of his early years at Bridgton. I am very impressed with how much the program has developed over the years. To be taking over the program at this stage is an honor. This will be a great opportunity to work with motivated young men and to help be a part of "the year that makes the difference" for future students," said Lounsbury.

While a student at Bridgton Academy, Lounsbury set the all-time school scoring record. He repeated his record-setting feat both in college while playing at the University of Southern Maine, and again in the pros while playing for the Huntsville Havoc of the SPHL, where he set defenseman scoring records for both clubs.
