Who Will Be the Next Gophers’ Men’s Hockey Coach?
Mark Coyle faces pressure to hire a new coach before the Frozen Four; Minnesota men’s hockey generated $2.75 million in profit last season, underscoring program importance.
- On Monday, Mark Coyle, Minnesota athletic director, plans to meet local media and may include the next coach announcement as the NCAA selection show airs Sunday.
- Given the program’s statewide popularity and the $2.75 million profit in 2024-25, fan expectations are high for the next coach of Minnesota men’s hockey.
- Among the frontrunners, Pat Ferschweiler, Western Michigan head coach, is in his fifth season and defending the program’s first NCAA title from last spring.
- Given Coyle’s rapid hiring pattern, he may act quickly; the new coach will influence recruiting and roster stability, as Raboin helped recruit the 2022-23 Gophers team.
- Beyond immediate timing, candidates weigh NHL prospects and a $300 million arena and athletic complex in Kalamazoo, which Ferschweiler helped design and is slated to open next season.
