On Thursday, the University of Windsor named former NHL player Todd Warriner as interim head coach of its women's hockey team, overseeing player development and daily operations for the 2026-27 season.
Warriner, a 52-year-old former forward, played a 14-year NHL career and won a silver medal at the 1994 Winter Olympics before coaching recently in Germany and the Netherlands.
Returning to the university, Warriner previously served as an assistant coach for the Lancers men's hockey team from 2019 through 2023, replacing Deanna Iwanicka who resigned in April after eight seasons.
