Saint Joseph's College of Maine

Chad Pulkkinen '07, a Windham, Maine native, was a key contributor to the Monks' men's basketball program, helping lead Saint Joseph's to the 2007 NCAA Division III Northeast Region Independent Championship and a berth in the ECAC Tournament title game. A two-time NCAA DIII All-Independent selection and 2007 Second Team All-State honoree, Pulkkinen overcame two season-ending injuries during his career to finish with 1,123 points, 288 rebounds, 220 assists, and 109 steals. A consistent scoring threat, he shot 35.0% (192-548) from three-point range and 78.0% (191-245) from the free throw line. His senior season was his best, averaging 16.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 2.9 assists per game while shooting 40.1% (163-406) from the field, 38.2% (83-217) from deep, and 85.7% (96-112) from the line. Upon graduation, he ranked second in career three-pointers made (192), third in single-season threes (83, 2006–07), tenth in three-point percentage (35.0%), second in single-season free throw percentage (85.7%), and sixth in career free throw percentage (75.9%). Pulkkinen has since built Windham High School into a perennial Class A contender, leading the Eagles to back-to-back state championships in 2024 and 2025 and earning multiple Coach of the Year honors.
