HEAD COACH BEN BARR

Ben Barr enters his fourth season as the head coach of the University of Maine men’s ice hockey team in the 2024-25 season. In just three seasons, Barr has steadily returned the Black Bears’ hockey program to among the nation’s elite.

During the 2023-24 season, Barr guided Maine to a 23-12-2 record and spots in both the Hockey East Tournament championship weekend and the NCAA Tournament for the first time since the 2011-12 season. The Black Bears earned a national ranking for the first time in over three years and the team went on to sustain that success by earning a ranking for 21 consecutive weeks for the first time in nearly 20 years. The team also made a return to the national top 10 for the first time since 2012 and earned a spot in the top five for the first time since 2010.

Off the ice, the 2023-24 team recorded the program’s highest fall grade point average ever last year with a 3.71. In each of Barr’s first two seasons, at least 22 student-athletes earned a spot on the Hockey East All-Academic Team. Maine led Hockey East with six Hockey East All-Academic All-Star Team members in 2021-22, and tied for the most members in the 2022-23 season with four. Additionally, there have been 27 AHCA Academic AllAmerican nods.

In Barr’s first season behind the bench, Maine went 7-22-4. He won his first career game on Nov. 12, 2021 with a 6-5 victory against Merrimack at Alfond Arena. In Barr’s second season in 2022-23, the Black Bears improved to 15-16-5 overall.

Barr arrived at UMaine with 15 years of assistant coaching experience in Division-I programs and a tradition of success at each of his stints at five different institutions. Most recently, Barr spent five years at UMass as associate head coach and recruiting coordinator where he helped guide the Minutemen to a 94-75-10 record, including a 72-26-6 mark over his last three seasons. His time at UMass included a Hockey East regular season and tournament title, three NCAA appearances, back-to-back NCAA title game appearances, and the 2021 National Championship.

Barr began his coaching career at his alma mater, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, where he spent the 2004-05 and 2007-08 seasons as a volunteer assistant coach. Barr joined Union College in September of 2008 as a full-time assistant. In his three seasons at Union, Barr played a key role in developing Union into a national champion. In his final year on staff, the Dutchman captured their first-ever ECAC Regular Season Championship and earned their first trip to the NCAA Tournament in school history. At the time, working under head coach Nate Leaman, Barr and the Union staff were named the 2011 Spencer Penrose NCAA Staff of the Year.

After three years at Union, Barr was hired as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at Providence College. In his first year on staff, the Friars reached the Hockey East semifinals for the first time in 11 years. In his final year on staff, Providence advanced to the NCAA quarterfinal round in its first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2001. Following his departure, with players both recruited and developed by Barr, the Friars went on to win the 2015 NCAA National Championship.

In June of 2014, Barr accepted a role as the associate head coach at Western Michigan University where he would stay for two seasons. At Western Michigan, Barr again served as recruiting coordinator and assisted head coach Andy Murray in developing a championship culture. The team transformed into a top-10 program and reached the NCAA Tournament the year after Barr’s departure.

The Faribault, Minn. native began his role at UMass in April of 2016 where he went on to serve five seasons as the associate head coach and recruiting coordinator. In his first season at UMass, the team finished the year at 5-29-2. Just two seasons later, the program registered a 31-10 overall mark, a Hockey East regular season championship, and finished as the NCAA runners-up. Two years later, the Minutemen achieved greatness as they were crowned the Hockey East and NCAA Champions.

In his five seasons behind the bench at UMass, Barr led the charge in his recruiting coordinator role in recruiting the top producing freshman class in all of NCAA hockey in 2017-18. Under the leadership of

1993 NCAA NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM

2017 marked the first time that a team was ever inducted into the University of Maine Sports Hall of Fame, with that same 1992-93 National Championship squad leading the way once again. The team — arguably the greatest team in the history of college hockey — went 42-1-2 en route to the national title.

After going unbeaten through the first 32 games of the season, the Black Bears dropped a 7-6 overtime contest on Feb. 19 to Boston University. That would be the only loss on the year, though, as the team reeled off 12-straight wins, including a 5-4 win over Lake Superior State in the NCAA Championship game.

In the title game, the Black Bears jumped out to a 2-0 lead on goals by Patrice Tardif and Chris Ferraro before Lake Superor scored four unanswered goals to take a 4-2 lead into the third period. Jim Montgomery then scored a hat-trick in a span of four minutes and 35 seconds, with Kariya — the first freshman to the win the Hobey Baker Award — assisted on all three of the captain’s goals for the epic comeback win.

That season, the Black Bears averaged 6.5 goals per game while only alloweing 2.4 goals per game.

From that team, the late head coach Shawn Walsh, forwards Jim Montgomery, Paul Kariya, goaltenders Garth Snow and Mike Dunahm and defenseman Chris Imes have already been inducted into the UMaine Sports Hall of Fame as individuals — and this year are joined by their legendary assistant coach from that championship season, Grant Standbrook.

ASSISTANT COACH GRANT STANDBROOK

Grant Standbrook spent 21 seasons behind the bench at UMaine, serving as an assistant coach on Maine's 1993 and 1999 National Championship teams. While at Maine, he racked up an impressive 506-234-69 record as an assistant and was the 2005 recipient of the Terry Flanigan Award, presented by the American Hockey Coaches Association to honor an assistant coach's career body of work. In total over his career, he coached and mentored 34 All-Americans, eight U.S. Olympians and two Canadian Olympians and a pair of Hobey Baker Award winners (Scott Pellerin, Paul Kariya). In total over his 38 seasons in collegiate coaching, Standbrook developed 69 future National Hockey League players.
