The Department of Athletics has opened a national search to permanently fill the position of head coach for the men’s ice hockey team. Assistant coach Lance West was appointed interim head coach shortly after the departure of head coach Dallas Ferguson in July 2017. West’s interim title will remain through May.

Since taking over the program last July, West led the 2017-2018 Nanooks to an 11-22-3 overall mark on the season and 9-17-2-1 in conference play. The team collected its eighth-straight Alaska Airlines Governor’s Cup, while 16 players were named to the Western Collegiate Hockey Association’s all-academic team, four players were named WCHA scholar-athletes and two earned all-WCHA honors.
