BC High coach John Flaherty has been reinstated by the school and will return as head coach of the hockey team for the new season.
Flaherty has been the head coach at BC High since 2010-11 and graduated from the school in 1988.
In January, Flaherty (Milton, Mass.) went on on administrative leave after being charged with operating under the influence, leaving the scene of property damage and a marked lanes violation.
Flaherty was found not guilty on the OUI, continued without a finding for leaving the scene of property damage and found not responsible for the marked lanes violation, according to the Quincy District Court's clerk's office.
"It was a private matter that's been resolved," BC High vice president for external relations Colleen Carter said via text message.
When Flaherty was placed on leave last season, assistant coaches Sean Vermette, Brendan Collier and Kelsey O'Brien led the team in Flaherty's absence. Collier is now the head coach at Malden Catholic.
BC High finished with a record of 10-9-1 and fell to Arlington Catholic, 3-2, in the MIAA Division 1 state tournament's Round of 32 last season.
