Bio
John Hendy shined both in competition and in the classroom throughout his Buccaneer career. Hendy, a native of Sandwich, Mass., sported a career .319 batting average and helped lead Head Coach Bob Corradi’s program to the best four-season mark in school history with a 98-43-1 (.694) slate. Hendy was honored during his senior campaign with selection to the 1982 GTE/CoSIDA National Academic All-America Team, as he is the only student-athlete in Academy history to attain that prestigious accolade, and he helped lead Massachusetts Maritime to a school-record 28 victories and the ECAC Division III New England championship in the spring of 1982. Hendy also shined on the soccer pitch for the Buccaneers, as he and his brothers Bill and Tom played for their father, the late Commodore William Hendy. John and Commodore Hendy became the first family members to be enshrined in the Academy’s Athletic Hall of Fame in its’ 13-year history.
