Who Will Be the Next Gophers’ Men’s Hockey Coach?
Mark Coyle faces pressure to name a new coach before the Frozen Four as Minnesota men’s hockey generated $2.75 million in 2024-25, a rare Big Ten profit.
- On Monday, Minnesota athletic director is expected to announce the new Gophers men’s hockey coach after the NCAA selection show on Sunday, with pressure to finalize before the Frozen Four in early April.
- By Sunday, the NCAA selection show reduces the field, and some players are entering the transfer portal, heightening urgency for a new Gophers hockey coach, as Coyle may act swiftly.
- Pat Ferschweiler, Western Michigan coach, is among the frontrunners, defending a NCAA title and helping design a $300 million arena in Kalamazoo.
- Having a coach in place before the Frozen Four is essential, as Coyle’s past quick hires suggest he may act swiftly once the season ends.
- Long-Term, the hire matters because Minnesota men’s hockey generated $2.75 million in 2024-25 and fans have increasingly accepted Big Ten competition over old WCHA rivals.
