UMD PAGE AND INFORMATION THE DULUTHGOES COMMUNITY HERE

LIKE NOWHERE ELSE Hiking amid the dense white pines that grow down to the rocky coast, one can hear the cry of seagulls and the distant wail of a foghorn as the mighty waves crash against the shore, covering the lush green vegetation with a fine mist. A scene out of a remote spot in the Pacific Northwest, right? No, it’s Duluth. Straining against the incessant tug of gravity, you make your way up the steep cobblestone sidewalks of the bustling downtown. The air is filled with the honking horns of cars, cabs and busses. Mingling with the sea air is the wafting s c e n t o f f r e s h l y b a ke d bread coming from one of the ethnic grocery stores, restaurants, and bakeries in the tightly packed neighborhood. You’re walking the streets of San Francisco, right? No, it’s Duluth. The boardwalk is simply alive today. Down the street from the casino, and in front of hundreds of waterfront hotel rooms, there is every mixture of people enjoying the gentle breeze off the water. Tourists mingle with businessmen on their lunch break, and in-line skaters zoom past a mime entertaining the kids as couples check out the galleries and coffeehouses that line the sun-splashed strip. Is it Atlantic City, Miami Beach, or Santa Monica? No, it’s Duluth.

A MEETING PLACE

2

Centuries before the first Native Americans pitched their teepees and launched their primitive canoes in the waters of the massive lake they called “Gitchee Gummee,” there were countless meetings in the place that would come to be known as Duluth. The crashing waves of Lake Superior came here to meet the churning waters of the St. Louis River. Those meetings of natural forces formed a 10-mile long strand of sand where, on warm summer days, you will find thousands of modern-day Twin Ports visitors shedding the wraps of winter and meeting the rays of the sun. And that stretch of beach, now known as Park Point, provided a huge natural harbor where everything from tiny canoes to immense ocean-going ships, can find shelter from the wind and waves of the great lake. Around this natural harbor where the lake met the river, cities grew. Today, Duluth and its Twin Ports partner, Superior, Wis., are viewed as meeting places more than ever. It is here that small-town truckers in jeans and feed caps haul loads of grain down to the giant elevators next to the docks. More than 1,000 miles from the salt waters of the nearest ocean, they meet sea captains from ports from every corner of the globe who will haul that wheat, corn, and barley east through the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence Seaway, then across the Atlantic

Ocean to foreign ports. Mile-long trains loaded with iron ore and taconite pellets from the mines of Minnesota’s Iron Range come to Duluth to fill ships (commonly called lakers) that will haul their goods to the steel mills of Indiana, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. There, the ore will be used to make the structural steel for buildings of the future and for the automobile frames being designed for use in the new century. A vibrant tourism industry brings in countless visitors from throughout the Midwest to shop, eat, relax, and be entertained by the endless variety of things to see and do in and around the Twin Ports. Goods are for sale in every variety, from tiny galleries where local artisans display seagull figurines carved from the driftwood found along the shore of Lake Superior, to sleek modern shopping malls filled with the latest designer fashions. Diners choose from options like grabbing a quick burger and a soda on their way to the game, or sitting down to hot coffee, a bowl of steaming chowder and warm apple pie, or savoring prime rib and fine wine at a linen-covered table in a four-star restaurant. For active visitors, Duluth and the

surrounding area of fer ever y k in d of outd o or recreation imaginable, from hiking, kayaking, sailing, and biking along the rugged shore of the lake, to first-class downhill and cross-country skiing, snowmobiling, and dog-sledding that takes advantage of the area’s common lake-effect snows to provide the finest winter recreation conditions between the Adirondacks and the Rockies. Dozens of open spaces in and around the city are complemented by a lakewalk that stretches for miles from Canal Park up the North Shore, passing countless parks, monuments, and places to sit and ponder the inland o c e a n , a n d p r ov i d i n g ample outdoor opportunities for walkers, bikers, skaters, or those who favor a horsedrawn carriage ride. No wonder Outdoor Magazine listed Duluth as the best town in America this past June. And, for those who like to take their entertainment sitting down, Duluth, quite literally, offers something for all interests. Broadway entertainment and dozens of movie screens bring the stars of the East and West Coasts to the Twin Ports. National recording artists perform by the shore of the lake during concerts, including the region’s annual Bayfest Blues Festival. For the sports fan, Duluth is home to a Northwoods Baseball League franchise, one of the nation’s most prominent marathons each summer, a major dog sled race each winter, and top-level intercollegiate athletic competition in the form of the 16 teams who wear the maroon and gold of the Universit y of Minnesota Duluth Bulldogs. When it comes to staying up to date on what ’s happening around town, around the region, and around the globe, Duluthians enjoy four local television stations, several print media outlets and more radio stations per capita (in ever y available format) than nearly any community in the nation. Duluth’s


A GREAT UNIVERSITY ON A GREAT LAKE For more than 100 years, the modest teacher’s college that has grown and evolved into the University of Minnesota Duluth has been offering students of all ages and interests a window into the opportunities that come with knowledge. The University of Minnesota system (which has campuses in Minneapolis, St. Paul, Morris, Rochester and Crookston, as well as Duluth) was started by an act of the Territorial Legislature in 1851, seven years before Minnesota achieved statehood. It took another 44 years before public higher education came to the north woods with

the opening of the Duluth Normal School in 1895. Renamed Duluth State Teacher’s College in 1921, the school became a coordinate campus of the University of Minnesota in 1947. The modern-day UMD has a campus communit y of 11,50 0 -plus students pur suing 13 bac helor’s degrees in 77 majors, graduate programs in 24 different fields, and three Ph.D. programs. In addition, UMD offers a College of Pharmacy program and a two-year program at the School of Medicine through the Minnesota-Twin Cities campus. A university with a unique combination of quality and value, UMD consistently ranks among the top Midwestern, regional universities in U.S. News & World Report’s “America’s Best Colleges” issue. Complemented by a staff of about 2,000 employees, including 477 full-time and another 119 part-time faculty, UMD draws students who come to Duluth and call it their home during their college years and beyond. Unlike the sprawling c ommuter schools of the Midwest’s metropolitan areas, where parking spaces out-number library periodicals, UMD is a community where close to a quarter of the undergraduate population resides in the many on-campus housing options or in the historic neighborhoods surrounding the campus. Comprising some 50 buildings (all constructed since 1948) and set on 244 acres of residential land with scenic views of Lake Superior, the UMD campus is a city unto itself, with housing, dining facilities, a theater, a planetarium, research laboratories, athletic venues, parks, wilderness areas, radio and television studios, a newspaper, the latest computer technology, medic al fac ilities, shop pin g, entertainment, and a state-ofthe-art library which merges the print and digital worlds, providing students with the region’s most advanced gateway to information.

UMD PAGE AND INFORMATION THE DULUTHGOES COMMUNITY HERE

television and radio stations —which, in terms of geographic reach, are located in one of the country’s largest markets — cover news, sports, and weather in the Twin Ports, northern Minnesota and northwestern Wisconsin.

Dedicated in August 2000, the UMD Library was a $26million project that provides the campus with nearly 168,000 square feet of new space and room for more than 200 laptop and desktop computers. Since the turn of the 21st century, UMD has added $200 million worth of new projects (including the Librar y), some of the latest being the Sports and Health Center Addition ($13 million, opened 2006), the Life Science Renovation ($15 million, opened 2006) the Labovitz School of Business and Economics ($23 million, opened 2008), the Bagley Environmental Classroom ($1 million, opened 2009), the Swenson Civil Engineering Building ($15 million, opened 2010) and the Lawrence A. Ianni Hall ($14 million, opened 2011.) In a community like DuluthSuperior, with its metro population of over 125,000 and its amazingly diverse economy, opportunities for internships, employment, and on-the-job education abound, giving countless UMD graduates a much-desired chance to make their permanent home and start their careers in the area. Here, where the ability to transport goods over water created an economy and several communities, transportation is in abundant supply. A major hub for the region, the Twin Ports is connected by numerous fourlane interstate freeways and major U.S. highways. Minneapolis-St. Paul is less than a three-hour drive away, and destinations like Madison, Milwaukee, and Chicago can be reached by car in less than half a day. And, the Duluth International Airport is served by several national/regional airlines, with daily nonstop flights to Minneapolis-St. Paul, Chicago and Detroit.

MEET THE FUTURE Centuries have passed since the first native peoples made their primitive homes near that place where the river meets the lake, and it’s been generations since the first foreign sea captain sailed his ship as far inland as it would go, but modern-day Duluth is still a buzzing meeting place. More than ever, young families are finding good jobs, safe streets, and a great place to raise children. And each year, thousands of students come to Duluth to gain the skills to compete in a global marketplace, learning the latest in technology and life skills at the world-class university on top of the hill. Duluth has changed dramatically over the past 150-plus years, from a small, rural town, to an industrial shipping hub, to a crossroads of commerce, information, and education. But one overwhelming and constant trend remains — meeting. Just as ships meet their cargo and big city opportunity meets small town charm, young adults by the thousands come to study and meet their future where the woods meet the water.

BULLDOG ATHLETICS

Now in its 85th year of operation, the University of Minnesota Duluth Department of Intercollegiate Athletics continues to maintain one of the most competitive and well-balanced sports programs of its size in the country. Fourteen of UMD’s 16 teams — baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross country, football, women’s soccer, softball, women’s tennis, men’s and women’s indoor and outdoor track and field, and volleyball — are members of the 16-member NCAA Division II Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference. The NCAA Division I men’s and women’s hockey programs, meanwhile, are aligned with the eight-team National Collegiate Hockey Conference (which debuted in 2013-14) and the eight-school Western Collegiate Hockey Association, respectively. The 2014-15 athletic season started out with a 3-0 season opening volleyball triumph over Northern Michigan University on Sept. 4 and wrapped up with an AllAmerican outdoor track performance by freshman Emilee Trost on Memorial Day weekend. In between, the Bulldogs experienced a multitude of highlights -including several program firsts. Those included: • UMD produced 18 All-Americans, including one Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference Player of the Year in junior volleyball setter Ashley Hinsch. Trost hit the All-American trifecta -- cross country, indoor track (fourth in the mile run) and outdoor track (fourth in the 1,500-meter run) -- during her debut Bulldog go-around while senior offensive guard Andrew Muer became the first Bulldog to be named to seven different All-American football teams in the same season. • Under the direction of second-year head coach Curt Wiese, the football Bulldogs rolled to the program’s fifth undefeated regular season, going 11-0, and along the way captured a share of their 19th NSIC title – a league record. UMD, which closed out the year with a 13-1 overall record (the third most triumphs in team history) and checked in at No.

In 2011-12, senior center Jack Connolly became just the second Bulldog to attain All-American status three times. 3 in the final American Football Coaches Association II poll, also secured their seventh consecutive NCAA II playoff berth and advanced to the quarterfinal round. • UMD assembled another historic volleyball season in 2015, finishing 33-2 overall for a .943 winning percentage – the best ever posted by a Bulldog club. UMD was defeated just once during the regular season -- to No. 1 ranked (and eventual NCAA II champion) University of Tampa -- went a perfect 20-0 against NSIC competition, and reigned as the league playoffs titleholders for a second straight year. The Bulldogs went on to host their second straight NCAA II Central Region Tournament as the No. 1 seed and were upended in the championship match by a streaking Southwest Minnesota State club.

Still, UMD boasted a program-high six players who received All-America honors and held down the No. 3 spot in the final American Volleyball Coaches Association Division II poll. • The women’s cross country team was rated among the top five NCAA II schools nationally from the outset of the 2014 season and the Bulldogs lived up to that billing by placing third – their highest finish ever -- at the NCAA II championships in Louisville, Ky. That came two weeks after the Bulldogs captured their second NCAA II Central Region championship in as many years with sophomore All-American Samantha Rivard leading the way. Rivard outran 189 other runners at that event en route to becoming just the third Bulldog ever to lay claim to a NCAA II regional title. • Senior soccer forward Maureen Stormont became UMD’s all-time scoring (126 points) and goals (54) leader, snapping the previous mark that had stood for 14 years. • Men’s hockey eclipsed the 20-win plateau for the fifth time in the past seven years and advanced to the quarterfinal round of the NCAA Tournament before being ousted by national runnerup Boston University. (The Bulldogs have now made for of the last seven NCAA Touraments -- their most appearances in that period of time in program history). UMD, whose strength of schedule during the regular season ranked first in the country for the second straight winter, checked in at No. 6 in the final USCHO.com poll. • After going without a single home baseball game the previous two seasons due to uncooperative weather, UMD served up nine doubleheaders at Bulldog Park and Wade Stadium and proceeded to compile a 35-16 overall record. Those 35 wins were one shy of the team’s singleseason record. •Outfielder Hannah Schmoll and shortstop Becky Smith were are among the Top 10 finalists for the inaugural National Fastpitch Coaches Association Division II National Freshman of the Year award. UMD was the only to school to produce two finalists and Schmoll and Smith were the lone representatives from NSIC.

4 UMD has collectively won eight national titles -- all since 2001 -- including the men’s NCAA Frozen Four title five years ago.


As much as the University of Minnesota Duluth has accomplished on the field of play since the inception of intercollegiate athletics over eight decades ago, it has also maintained an equally strong and proud tradition of academically preparing its student-athletes. And, it has the numbers to prove it. Case in point: Over the past quarter century, nearly 94 percent of those student-athletes who participated in a varsity sport for at least four years have graduated. In 2014 -15, 80 dif ferent Bulldogs qualified for a spot on the NSIC AllAcademic Team and while 22 others secured either National Collegiate Hockey Conference (14 men) or Western Collegiate Hockey Association (eight women) All-Academic Team status. In addition, UMD’s 412 studentathletes, which includes redshirted freshmen, posted an average GPA of 3.18 -- an all-time high (bettering the previous mark of 3.16 set one year earlier) -- in 2014-15 and of that group, 99 achieved GPAs of 3.50 or better and 11 turned in perfect 4.00 figures. The women’s basketball Bulldogs registered the best collective GPA (3.62) of any UMD team during the 2014-15 school year while soccer (3.33) and tennis (3.32) were next. On the individual front, senior track and field star Amelia Maher received 2014-15 Capital One/ CoSIDA Academic All-American recognition (second team), the 20th Bulldog to ever be so honored. Maher was also among seven UMD seniors who were bestowed with a NSIC Myles Brand AllAcademic With Distinction Award (for maintaining a 3.75 GPA as a collegian), joining Cour tney Driscoll (soccer), Aaron Handorff (men’s track and field), Alyssa Kerkhoff (women’s basketball), Katie Schneider (soccer), Maureen S t o r m o n t (s o c c e r ) a n d A n a Zdechlik (soccer). Maher and hockey forward Adam Krause both

closed out their respective UMD careers by landing the 2013-14 E.L. “Duce” Rasmussen Award (UMD’s top senior male and female scholar-athletes). Senior forward Zoe Hickle was a top 5 finalist for the prestigious Hockey Humanitarian Award (a first for UMD athletics) while Krause was a nominee for that honor as well as the Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award. A trio of Bulldog seniors -- Jacob B rus ehaver, Gavin Gray an d Ryan Miesbauer -- were cited as as 2014-15 National Football Foundation’s National Honor Society selections in recognition of their exemplary academic achievements. USTFCCCA All-Academic Cross Country acclaim was awarded to six runners (Breanna Colbenson, McKenzie Holt, Hannah Olson, Alexandra Rudin, Amber

Sophomore defenseman Dan Molenaar secured a spot on the UMD Athletic Academic Scholar List for maintaining the highest cumulative grade point average (3.95) of any men’s hockey player during the 2014-15 school year. It was second straight time he earned that honor

PAGE INFORMATION AMSOIL ARENA GOES HERE 6

The night of Dec. 30, 2010, was truly a defining moment for the University of Minnesota Duluth men’s hockey program. With one drop of the puck on that particular evening, the Bulldogs went from playing in the Western Collegiate Hockey Association’s oldest facility to the newest rink in the nation -- not to mention one of the best! Construction of the 6,756-seat AMSOIL Arena, which is just a few hundred yards away from the venerable Duluth Entertainment and Convention Center arena, UMD’s former home since the 1966-67 season, began in April 2009. In all, the $80 million facility was a true collaborative effort, with the State of Minnesota funding half of the cost through general obligation bonds, the City of Duluth providing 27 percent of the cost through a voter-approved food and beverage tax, UMD funding 12 percent and the DECC funding the remaining 11 percent. At first glance, AMSOIL Arena brings to mind a striking contrast with other top-notch National Collegiate Hockey Conference/Western Collegiate Hockey Association rinks and some familiar similarities to the old DECC. Set foot inside NCHC rinks like Ralph Engelstad Arena (the University of North Dakota), and one is immediately struck by their sheer vast size. By contrast, a step onto the ice surface at AMSOIL Arena causes many to notice that despite having more than 1,600 additional seats, it’s as intimate as the “old” DECC, with the lower bowl of seats hugging the ice surface and the upper level seats hanging seemingly right over the ice. Truly, there’s not a bad seat in the house. While the DECC was known as a great place to watch a game, the level of

fan comfort is taken to new heights inside AMSOIL Arena. From simple things like seat width and leg room to necessities like additional restroom facilities, fan comfort and convenience are the hallmarks of the Bulldogs’ new digs. Designers took cues from other successful and popular sports facilities and incorporated fanfriendly touches like an open concourse around much of the lower seating bowl, meaning that a trip to one of the numerous concession stands will not mean missing

any of the on-ice action. And, if they do, there is a $1 million, 8’ x 14’ matrix scoreboard hung above center ice, which provides in-game replays, videos, and graphics in 10-millimeter LED display. AMSOIL Arena, which hosted the NCAA Women’s Frozen Four in 2012, is also equipped with something the DECC never had — private suites, some 15 in all. In addition, the Champions Lodge, located on the main level adjacent to one of the college hockey’s finest and most spacious


pools (one of which features a treadmill in its base) and other amenities that rival any other school in the nation. The hallways throughout the Bulldog locker room areas are covered with historical photos and artwork, conveying the storied history of both the men’s and women’s programs. And, in a place where abundant natural wonders and respect for the environment have always been a hallmark of life for Minnesotans, AMSOIL Arena was built with an eye toward sustainability, and has received the top Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) accreditation available. It didn’t take long for the Bulldogs’ new home to attract some big-time national

press boxes, serves as a gathering space for UMD athletic donors, alumni and supporters. At the other end of the hallway is the Hall of Fame Suite, which holds up to 34 people and contains plaques of the 30-plus Bulldog men and women hockey alums and coaches who are members of the UMD Athletic Hall of Fame. Outside, a new skywalk link connects the extended parking ramp to AMSOIL Arena, leading spectators into what is known as the “Ice Cube”. With soft mood lighting and an aquatic –themed terrazzo floor, the second-level commons area evokes images of Lake Superior. Traveling from one level to another you can see the downtown skyline in one direction and the Duluth harbor in the other. Although AMSOIL Arena will be used for conventions, concerts (with seating for nearly 9,000) and other sporting events, it’s is first and foremost the home of UMD hockey, This is readily apparent by the generous splashes of maroon and gold and the frequent use of the Bulldog logo throughout the facility. A large student bench seat section on the south end of the rink (where UMD attacks twice) should give the Bulldogs that much more of a home-ice advantage. On the lower level, out of sight for most visitors, but on full display for current and potential future Bulldogs, are some of the real “goodies”. Those include a state-of-the-art hockey offices and facilities, a weight room and athletic training center, player’s lounges, two large hydro therapy

attention. The Wall Street Journal named AMSOIL Arena as one of its 10 “Golden Zamboni” award winners for its uniqueness among the nation’s college hockey venues. AMSOIL Arena was cited by the WSJ because “ … it oozes local flavor. Bar tops in the fire-placed warmed Bulldog Club Lounge are made from local taconite rock, flecked with red iron; walls are inlaid with Minnesota stone and the decorative panels are made of wood salvaged from old grain elevators. On the (concourse) walls are quotations from a handful of folks, including Duluth’s two biggest local celebrities: frozen-pizza impresario Jeno Paulucci and Bob Dylan.”

PAGE HEADINFORMATION COACH SCOTTGOES SANDELIN HERE 10 10

When Scott Sandelin accepted his first collegiate head coaching job with the University of Minnesota Duluth shortly after the new millennium, his primary mission was to make the Bulldogs a perennial force on the national collegiate hockey landscape and ultimately bring home the program’s first NCAA championship. Mission accomplished. On April 9, 2011, Sandelin and the Bulldogs, before a sold-out Xcel Energy Center crowd of over 19,000, toppled the University of Michigan 3-2 in overtime to cap off a season for the ages. For the first time in its nearly seven-decade history, UMD was indeed college hockey’s top ‘Dog! But the Bulldogs have been anything but one-hit wonders. Over the past seven seasons, they’ve gone 146-101-33 (including a 25-10-6 mark in 2011-12) while making four NCAA tournament appearances, posting five National Collegiate Hockey Conference/Western Collegiate Hockey Association upper division finishes and piecing together five, 21-win campaigns. During the course of the 2011-12 season, UMD set a club record by going unbeaten in 17 straight games and was ranked first in both major weekly polls (USCHO.com and USA Today/USA Hockey) for a program-best nine consecutive weeks. Sandelin, the 2003-04 Spencer Penrose Award winner (American Hockey Coaches Association NCAA I Coach of the Year) and the runnerup for that honor four winters ago, enters the 2015-16 season -- his 16th as the Bulldogs’ bench boss -sporting a 268-261-70 overall record and having helped produce two Hobey Baker Memorial Award winners (Jack Connolly in 2011-12 and Junior Lessard in 2003-04), six NCAA I All-Americans (including threetime pick Jack Connolly), and 18 different All-NCHC/WCHA selections. He’s also seen some 16 of his UMD pupils go on to do time in the National Hockey League. In March 2009, Sandelin’s Bulldogs laid claim to the WCHA playoff title (becoming, in the process, the first play-in game par-

ticipant in the 17-year history of the WCHA Final Five to win it all) before advancing all the way to the NCAA West Regional Final. Four seasons earlier, UMD was named the preseason league favorite in the Grand Forks HeraldWCHA Coaches Poll for the first time ever and, in mid-October of that year, occupied the No. 1 spot in a national poll (uscho.com and the USA Today/USA Hockey Magazine) for the first time in 15 years. Over the Christmas Holidays that winter, Sandelin displayed his coaching wares on the international stage as the head coach of Team USA at the 2004 IIHF World Junior Hockey Championships. He worked in an assistant coaching capacity at that same event in 2012. The 52-year old Sandelin (8/8/64) turned UMD into a NCAA Frozen Four participant for the first time in nearly a gen-

eration in 2003-04 while shepherding the Bulldogs to their most victories (they were 28-13-4 in all outings) and highest WCHA finish (second place on a 19-7-2 mark) since the 1992-93 season. UMD also sported the nation’s second-highest scoring team, and, during the course of the year, strung together a school-record 14-game unbeaten streak. For his efforts, he was chosen the WCHA Coach of the Year as well as the national coach of the year by both insidecollegehockey.com and uscho.com. Sandelin’s 2002-03 Bulldogs racked up their best overall mark (22-15-5) in a decade while experiencing the greatest one-year turnaround of any WCHA club. UMD ended that season as one of country’s hottest clubs, going unbeaten in 12 of its final 16 games (11-4-1) and capturing third place at the WCHA Final Five playoff championship. One year earlier, he directed the Bulldogs to a 13-24-1 record in all games -- nearly doubling the number of victories from the previous season (7-28-4). In addition to amassing its most goals in five years, UMD also ranked fifth in the nation in power play scores (47) that season. Prior to officially becoming the Bulldogs’ 12th head coach on March 31, 2000, Sandelin served with the University of North Dakota coaching staff for six years, including the last three as an associate head coach. During his tenure in Grand Forks, North Dakota laid claim to two NCAA titles (1996-97 and 1999-2000), three WCHA regular season championships (1996-99), two WCHA playoff crowns (1996-97 and 1999-2000) and earned four straight berths in the NCAA tournament (1996-2000).

stints with the Montreal Canadiens (198688), Philadelphia Flyers (1990-91) and Minnesota North Stars (1991-92). The second round pick of the Montreal Canadiens in the 1982 NHL draft (40th selection overall), he was credited with four assists in 25 lifetime NHL outings as a nagging back injury forced him to retire prematurely from the professional ranks following the 1991-92 season. Sandelin, one of just two current NCHC coaches with NHL playing experience, also skated for Team U.S.A. at the 1989 Goodwill Games, the 1986 International Ice Hocky Federation Championships, and the 1984 IIHF Junior Championships. Sandelin, who graduated from North Dakota in 1986 with a bachelor’s degree in marketing, was the 2013 recipient of North Dakota’s Tom Clifford Award (recognizing North Dakota alumni who serve with distinction as athletic coaches at the high school or college levels). He resides in Hermantown with his wife, Wendy, and their son, Ryan (16), and daughter, Katie (9).

primary responsibilities with the Fighting Sioux included handling the team’s recruiting coordinator and academic advisor duties, and assisting with all aspects of practice and game preparation. Sandelin spent the 1993-94 season as the head coach of the Fargo-Moorhead Junior Kings of the Junior Elite Hockey League after working in that same capacity (and doubling as general manager) the previous winter with the American Hockey Association’s Fargo-Moorhead Express. Born and raised in Hibbing, Minn., Sandelin capped off his four-year playing career at North Dakota in 1985-86 by being named one of 10 finalists for the Hobey Baker Memorial Award. He captained the club that season and also was an All-WCHA first team pick and an NCAA I All-American second team selection. Named North Dakota’s Most Valuable Player as a senior after amassing a career-high 38 points in 40 games, Sandelin went on to play seven years of professional hockey, including NHL

BULLDOG ASSISTANT COACHES 12

Brett Larson

After a five-year absence, Brett Larson is back with the Bulldogs. Larson, who spent three seasons as a UMD assistant before departing for United States Hockey League in 2011 -- and eventually an associate head coaching job at Ohio State University, returned to Bulldog coaching staff this past August to assume his old position. During Larson’s three previous years in Duluth (2008-11), the Bulldogs rolled up a 70-40-15 overall record, captured the school’s first-ever NCAA championship (at St. Paul’s Xcel Energy Center in 2011, his final game before stepping down), made two NCAA playoff appearances and qualified for the WCHA Final Five tournament three times. He also coached and/or recruited one Hobey Baker Award Memorial Award winner, four All-Americans, eight future NHLers and one 2014 U.S. Olympian. In late May 2011, Larson left UMD to take over the head coaching and general manager duties with the USHL’s Sioux City Musketeers. He spent two seasons in Sioux City and directed that club to the USHL playoffs as a rookie bench boss in 2011-12. He also tutored a pair of current Bulldogs in junior center Jared Thomas and junior defenseman Dan Molenaar. Larson, who served as the head coach for gold medal-winning Team USA at the 2012 World Junior A Challenge, returned to the collegiate ranks in 2013 when he signed on as Ohio State’s associate head coach. He worked the past two winters under Steve Rohlik, his former Bulldog assistant coaching colleague, for Buckeye clubs that went 32-33-8 overall. A Duluth native and 1991 Denfeld High School graduate, Larson patrolled the Bulldog blue line for four seasons, racking up 24 goals and 43 assists for 67 points in 133 games. He captained the Bulldogs during his senior year in 1994-95 when he attained Western Collegiate Hockey Association All-Academic Team recognition for a third straight time and also landed the team’s Community Service Award. Larson enjoyed a breakout season the previous winter when he finished with 28 points and nine power play goals en route to being named UMD’s Most Improved Player. That same year he set a program record for fastest two power play goals (12 seconds vs. Northern Michigan University) which still stands. As a sophomore, Larson and the Bulldogs captured the WCHA regular season title and advanced to the quarterfinal round of the NCAA playoffs. Selected in the 11th round by the Detroit Red Wings in the 1990 National Hockey League draft, Larson went on to skate 12 years in the professional ranks, including two (1990-2001) as a player-coach with the San Diego Gulls of the now-defunct

Jason Herter

Former Western Collegiate Hockey Association standout Jason Herter is in his fifth year with the Bulldogs staff, having officially began his assistant coaching duties at UMD in the summer of 2011. A native of Hafford, Saskatchewan, Herter doubled as the head coach and general manager for the United States Hockey League’s Fargo (N.D.) Force four years ago and guided that franchise to a regular season record of 33-22-5. He joined the Force in 2008-09 for their inaugural season as an assistant coach (under current University of Nebraska Omaha bench boss Dean Blais) before spending the following year scouting for the Des Moines Buccaneers of the USHL. Along with Pat Ferschweiler (now an assistant coach with the American Hockey League’s Grand Rapids Griffins), Herter started the Russell Stover AAA midget U16 and U18 teams out of Overland Park, Kan., and spent five years with that program and coaching the U16 club before moving on to Fargo. Selected in the first round (8th pick overall) by the Vancouver Canucks in the 1989 National Hockey League entry draft, Herter skillfully manned the University of North Dakota blueline for three seasons (1988-91), racking up 119 points on 30 goals and 89 assists in 118 games. In his farewell year in Grand Forks, N.D., he secured a spot on both the All-WCHA second team and the WCHA All-Academic Team. A member of the Canadian National Junior Team in 1990, Herter went on to make one appearance in the NHL -- with the New York Islanders in 1995-96 -- as part of an 11-year professional playing career, which included stops in the American Hockey League (Hamilton) and the International Hockey League (Milwaukee, Kalamazoo, Utah, Kansas City and Orlando). His final four seasons of competition were spent in Europe where, in 2001-02, he and fellow Bulldog assistant coach Derek Plante were teammates with the Munich Barons. Herter, (10/2/70), earned his Bachelor’s degree in business management from North Dakota in 2005 and two years later received a Master’s degree in entrepreneurship from the University of MissouriKansas City. He and his wife, Laura, have two children -- Jordyn (20) and Jacob (15) -- and lives in Hermantown.

Brant Nicklin

Brant Nicklin, who made a name for himself for his puckstopping prowess at University of Minnesota Duluth during the late 1990s, returns to the Bulldog men’s hockey program this season as a volunteer assistant coach. Nicklin has served as the UMD women’s goaltending coach the past four seasons and as an assistant coach at the College of St. Scholastica in Duluth since 1995-96. He’s also run a number of local goaltending schools and clinics over the past decade. Nicklin replaces another ex-Bulldog, Bill Watson, who is taking a leave of absence after eight years of volunteer assistant coaching service at UMD. A native of Comox, British Columbia, Nicklin was the Bulldogs’ ace in the goal for four seasons and exited UMD in 2000 ranking first all-time in saves percentage (.895), shut outs (8) and appearances (137), second in saves (3,880) and goals against average (3.40) and third in wins (55). He still owns team records for games played (137), consecutive appearances (76) and consecutive starts (76, which at the time was a NCAA Division I mark). In 1996-97, Nicklin became just the second UMD freshman to play in every minute of his club’s Western Collegiate Hockey Association games and wound up landing a spot on that circuit’s All-Rookie Team. The following year, he posted a program-record five shutouts and a 21-16-2 overall mark while pacing the WCHA in saves for a second straight winter. Nicklin, the current WCHA record holder for consecutive league starts (80), was the recipient of the Bulldog Community Service Award as junior and the Goldie Wolfe Award (UMD’s Most Inspirational Player) in 1999-2000. Nicklin went on to sign a free agent contract with the National Hockey League’s Pittsburgh Penguins and participated in two of their training camps. In four years as a professional, he tended goal for the Central Hockey League’s Oklahoma City Blazers (2000-01) and San Angelo Saints (2003-04), the United Hockey Leagues’s Quad City Mallards (2001-02) and Rockford Ice Hogs (200203), the East Coast Hockey League’s Florida Everblades (2000-01) and the American Hockey League’s Milwaukee Admirals (2002-03). Nicklin, who graduated from UMD in 2006 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in recreation, resides in Duluth with his wife, Kelly, and their two children -- Reese and Alex.


Back for his sixth season with the UMD hockey program is strength and conditioning coach Blake Palmer, who, before his arrival in Duluth, had spent the previous three years working in that same capacity with the United States Hockey League’s Waterloo Blackhawks. Palmer also oversees the strength and conditioning efforts for the Bulldog baseball team. While in Waterloo (where he doubled for two seasons as the team’s equipment manager), the 32-year old Palmer (10/12/82) helped over 50 athletes realize their dream of playing NCAA I hockey and saw nine get selected in the National Hockey League draft. He also worked for two years as a strength and conditioning coach for the XL Sports Acceleration Program (where he had the opportunity to train current San Jose Shark Joe Pavelski). In addtion, his resume also includes a stint as a graduate assistant strength and conditioning coach at the University of Northern Iowa. While at UNI, he trained and coached with one of the world’s foremost international weightlifting minds -- former Chinese Olympic weightlifter Jianping Ma. A native of Northwood, Iowa, who now lives in Superior, Wis., Palmer earned his Bachelor’s degree in exercise science (2006) and completed his course work for his Master’s degree in exercise physiology (2008) from UNI. He and his wife, Lyn (who were married this past summer) live in Superior, Wisconsin.

Chris Garner

He is single and lives in Duluth.

The 2015-16 season will mark Suz Hoppe’s 11th year handling the hockey Bulldogs’ athletic trainer responsibilities.

In his collegiate swan song, senior Junior Lessard scores twice for the Bulldogs, who possessed a 3-1 advantage at the second intermission before surrendering four answered goals in the final 18 minutes of play. UMD came into the tourney boasting a 25-0-1 record in games in which it led after two periods that winter. April 9, 2004. Junior Lessard puts the exclamation point on a marvelous senior season by being presented with the Hobey Baker Memorial Award -- the fourth Bulldog to win college hockey’s most coveted individual prize. The first Quebec native to ever lace up a pair of skates at UMD, Lessard paced the country in scoring (63 points), goals (32) and power play tallies (14) from his right wing post and was selected to the NCAA All-American first team as well as the national Player of the Year by both insidecollegehockey.com and USCHO.com. Oct. 25, 2004. UMD finds itself occupying the No. 1 spot in a national men’s hockey poll --a place it hadn’t been since November 1989 -- as both the folks from uscho. com/CSTV and USA Today/USA Hockey Magazine tab the 5-0-1 Bulldogs as their top dog. Three weeks earlier, UMD was voted as the WCHA favorite by league coaches in the 34th annual Grand Forks Herald preseason poll -- a first for the Bulldog program. February 3, 2006. Nearly two decades after he last dazzled college hockey fans

with his goal-scoring wizardry, Brett Hull returns to his old hockey stomping grounds -- the DECC -- to have his jersey number (29) retired during the Bulldogs’ WCHA clash with Wisconsin. Hull, who still owns a number of UMD scoring records, hung up his National Hockey League skates earlier that year as its third all-time leading goal producer behind icons Wayne Gretzky and Gordie Howe. He joins fellow puckster Keith “Huffer” Christiansen as the only two UMD male athletes to ever be so honored. March 21, 2009. UMD becomes the first play-in game participant to capture the WCHA Final Five title in the 17-year history of that event by blanking the University of Denver 4-0. The WCHA playoff crown is the Bulldogs’ third ever, but first since 1984-85. Junior goaltender Alex Stalock is named the Final Five’s Most Valuable Player after stopping 90 of 91 shots in the three games and posting back to back shut outs -- a UMD program first. March 27, 2009. In what became known as the “Miracle at Mariucci” the Bulldogs score twice in the final 40 second of regulation and go on to nip Princeton University 5-4 in overtime in the NCAA West Region semifinals. Trailing 4-2, goals by UMD rookie center Jack Connolly and sophomore defenseman Evan Oberg (with just .8 seconds to play) send the game into overtime before freshman left winger Mike Connolly puts an end to the evening by scoring on the power play at 13:39 of the extra session. A partisan UMD crowd of 7,187 at Minnesota’s Mariucci Arena are on hand to witness perhaps the most astonishing comeback in Bulldog history.

MEMORABLE UMD HOCKEY MOMENTS

March 15, 1998. Basically left for dead and down 4-0 with less than 14 minutes remaining in regulation, the Bulldogs rally to defeat the University of Minnesota 5-4 in the third and deciding game of their best-of-three WCHA playoff series at the DECC. Five different Bulldogs score in the victory, including senior Mike Peluso whose goal 10:49 into the extra session caps the comeback and gives UMD its first-ever overtime win over the Gophers.

March 28, 2009. The longest post-season winning streak in UMD’s 65-year history comes to an end as the Bulldogs fall 2-1 to the Miami University in the NCAA West Region championship. The Bulldogs, who defeated five straight Top 15 clubs during that stretch in Colorado College (twice), the University of Minnesota, the University of North Dakota, the University of Denver and Princeton University, conclude the

March 18, 2004. UMD’s prodigious regular season does not go unnoticed as two of the WCHA’s major honors are bestowed on Bulldogs at the league’s Awards Banquet. Senior wing Junior Lessard is chosen the WCHA’s Player of the Year -- the seventh Bulldog to be so recognized -- after topping that circuit in both scoring and goals while Scott Sandelin lands the WCHA Coach of the Year Award after he directed UMD to its highest league finish (second place) in 11 years. Sandelin would go on to also lay claim to the Spencer Penrose Award as the NCAA I Coach of the Year, joining Mike Sertich (1983-84) as the only two Bulldog bosses to win that particular piece of hardware. March 28, 2004. In the first NCAA playoff meeting ever between the two archrivals, the Bulldogs ambush two-time defending national champion Minnesota 3-1 to seize the NCAA Midwest Regional title in Grand

As far as the Bulldogs are concerned, victories over the University of Minnesota are always sweet, but none perhaps any sweeter than the one they hung on their long-time arch rivals (a 3-1 decision) in the 2004 Midwest Regional title game.

The loss is the collegiate finale for All-American junior goaltender Alex Stalock, who set UMD single-season marks for both goals against average (2.13) and saves percentage (.924) and became just the second Bulldog ever -- and first since Rick Kosti in 1984-85 -- to hold the title as the WCHA’s goals against average leader. April 13, 2009. Groundbreaking begins on UMD’s new $80 million, 6,764-seat hockey home, which is scheduled for completion in 20 months. The state-of-the-art facility, located just a few hundred feet from the DECC will employ over 300 workers during its construction. December 4, 2010. After 44 years and nearly 900 games, UMD (adorned in its classic 1966-era throwback jerseys) farewell to the DECC -- and do so in style -- by turning back the University of Denver 2-1. The introduction of the 20-member All-DECC Team is among the highlights of the historic night, which is capped off with an emotional post-game ceremony featuring some 100-plus past and present Bulldogs. December 30, 2010. A capacity crowd of 6,764 -- the largest gathering to ever to take in a UMD home game -- watches North Dakota blank the Bulldogs 5-0 and spoil AMSOIL Arena’s long-anticipated grand opening party. The Sioux, who blew the game open by scoring three times in a span of 74 seconds late in the second period, become the first team to hold UMD scoreless in Duluth since March 21, 2008. March 26, 2011. In a battle of Bulldogs, UMD outlasts No. 1 ranked Yale University 5-3 in the NCAA East Regional final to punch its ticket to the program’s fourth Frozen Four. UMD gets four goals from its specialty teams in the victory, which is played in Yale’s backyard at Webster Bank Arena in Bridgeport, Conn. UMD junior goaltender Kenny Reiter, who posted his sixth career shutout in a 2-0 triumph over high-scoring Union College the previous evening, stops 62 of 65 shots during the weekend en route to being named the East Regional’s Most Valuable Player. April 7, 2011. Four different Bulldogs score goals and rookie defenseman Justin Faulk and senior right winger Justin Fontaine each add three assists to propel UMD past the

April 8, 2011. Junior center Jack Connolly, who earlier in the spring was chosen a Top 10 Finalist for the Hobey Baker Memorial Award, is named to the All-American first team while his linemate, junior right winger Mike Connolly, attains second team aclaim. Jack Connolly becomes just the sixth Bulldog ever -- and first in 25 years -- to receive All-American honors on more than one occasion. April 9, 2011.

UMD AND THE HOBEY BAKER MEMORIAL AWARD 52

2011-12 Center Duluth, Minn.

Junior Lessard

2003-04 Right Wing St. Joseph deBeauce, Quebec

Chris Marinucci

On April 6, 2012, Jack Connolly put an exclamation point -- a huge exclamation point -- on the most decorated playing career in UMD hockey history when he was bestowed with the 2011-12 Hobey Baker Memorial Award.

Twenty years after Tom Kurvers walked off with the University of Minnesota Duluth’s initial Hobey Baker Memorial Award, another remarkably gifted athlete who also sported the familiar No. 22 Bulldog sweater followed suit.

He was certainly no flash in the pan, but then again, he’ll be the first to admit that he was no flash, either.

All-American. NCAA champion. Hometown hero. And now this.

Indeed, on April 9, 2004, Junior Lessard, who was born and raised in the Frenchspeaking quarters of Quebec, capped off a memorable senior season by being bestowed with college hockey’s highest honor. Lessard’s list of accomplishments during his final collegiate go-around would certainly do any of the previous 23 Hobey Baker Memorial winners proud. The fiery redhead topped the NCAA in scoring (63), goals (32), and power play tallies while helping lead the Bulldogs to their first NCAA Frozen Four appearance in nearly a generation and a 28-13-4 overall record. Besides being selected as both the uscho.com and insidecollegehockey. com national Player of the Year, Lessard also was an American Hockey Coaches Association All-American first team honoree and a member of the all-tournament team at the NCAA Frozen Four as well as at the NCAA Midwest Regional. A little less than two weeks after his college play days were over, Lessard signed a free agent contract with the National Hockey League’s Dallas Stars.

Jack Connolly

“I think Jack epitomizes what the award is about,” said UMD head coach Scott Sandelin after his prized pupil became the program’s fifth hobey baker winner. “Obviously, he was tremendous leader and an offensive catalyst for our team since his arrival here. He had a remarkable career and an even more remarkable seniors season. But most of all, Jack has always represented our program in a first-class way -- on the rink, in the classroom and in the community.” The first Bulldog to ever be named a Hobey Baker Memorial Award Top 10 Finalist twice and the first to earn All-WCHA first team status on three occasions, Connolly ranked second in the nation in both scoring (a career-high 60 points -- the most by any Bulldog in eight years) and assists (40) during his farewell collegiate go-around. For his efforts, he attained All-American recognition for a third time, something only one other Bulldog -- defenseman Norm Maciver (1983-86) had ever done before. The 2011-12 WCHA Player of the Year and this year’s recipient of the Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award that same season, Connolly missed nary a shift during his four years with the Bulldogs, skating in a school-record 166 consecutive games. In 2011-12, he captained UMD to a 25-10-6 overall record, a second-place WCHA finish and its third NCAA tournament berth in the past four years. He served as an assistant team captain with the Bulldogs in 2010-11 when they skated away with the program’s first national championship.

But despite all of his on-ice successes, the one achievement that Lessard, UMD’s Outstanding Male Senior Athlete for 200304, takes perhaps the most pride in was realized on May 15, 2004 when he officially received his Bachelor of Arts degree from UMD in, of all areas of study, English.

1993-94 Left Wing/Center Grand Rapids, Minn.

“I’ve never considered myself to be a particularly electrifying type of player,” said Chris Marinucci upon receiving the 1994 Hobey Baker Memorial Award. “When people look back at my career at UMD, I guess I would just like to be remembered as a guy who went out everyday and just worked hard. That’s the kind of hockey player I always strived to be.” Marinucci, the first -- and only -- Hobey Baker Memorial Award recipient to skate on a sub-.500 team (the Bulldogs were 14-21-3 overall that winter and placed seventh in the 10-team WCHA), was showered with a host of other prominent honors as a senior in 1993-94. He was named the College Player of the Year by USA Hockey and the WCHA Player of the Year in addition to earning NCAA I All-American first team acclaim. Over his final two years of competition, Marinucci scored more points (138) than any other skater in the country while becoming just the fourth Bulldog to post backto-back 30-goal seasons. In 1993-94 as a UMD team captain, he finished first in the WCHA scoring race and racked up a team-leading 61 points overall. That spring, Marinucci earned UMD’s Outstanding Male Senior Athlete award and soon after began a lengthy professional playing career which included National Hockey League stints with the New York Islanders and Los Angeles Kings.

It’s anybody’s guess what kind of further damage Bill Watson would have done to the Bulldog record books, not to mention the collective psyche of opposing goaltenders had he stayed for his fourth, and final, year of eligibility at the University of Minnesota Duluth.

No matter how many Hobey Baker Memorial Award winners the University of Minnesota Duluth goes on to produce, Bulldog fans will always hold a special place in their heart for Tom Kurvers for one distinct reason: He was the first.

Watson bid a premature farewell to the collegiate ranks at the conclusion of 198485 season after he had become the first — and only to date — Bulldog to crack the 100-point plateau. Watson, who racked up a then-NCAA record 109 points, was selected the WCHA’s Most Valuable Player as a junior after pacing that circuit in scoring for a second straight season. Watson also established club single-season marks for assists (60), multiple-point games (36) while also piecing together an unprecedented 33-game scoring streak (after he was held scoreless by Northeastern University on Dec. 15 of that year he proceeded to pick up at least one point in each of the next 19 contests). For his career, he finished with 210 points in just 108 outings for a schoolrecord 1.94 points per game average. Watson, a two-time All-American, skated four seasons with the National Hockey League’s Chicago Blackhawks and, in 1986-87, received the Emery Edge Award for having the best plus-minus rating of any Chicago skater. After putting the wraps on his playing days the late 1980s, Watson served as the head hockey coach at the College of St. Scholastica and as an assistant with the Western Michigan University program. He is currently is a volunteer on the Bulldog hockey staff.

As a senior in 1983-84, Kurvers captained the Bulldogs to their first-ever Western Collegiate Hockey Association regular season and playoff titles. That magical season came to end in March, just one day after Kurvers was officially named the fourth Hobey Baker Award recipient, when the Bulldogs fell 5-4 in four overtimes to Bowling Green State University in the NCAA championship game. Kurvers, who attained All-American first team status that winter, paced all WCHA defensemen in scoring en route to being chosen the WCHA’s Player of the Year. He scored more goals (43) and more points (192) than any other blueliner in team history and closed out his playing days ranking six on UMD’s career scoring charts. Selected UMD’s Outstanding Male Senior Athlete in 1983-84, Kurvers went on to enjoy an 11-year National Hockey League career while skating with seven different clubs — Montreal, Buffalo, New Jersey, Toronto, the New York Islanders, Vancouver, and Anaheim. He later spent 10 years in the Phoenix Coyotes front office (and served as an assistant coach with that NHL club during the 2003-04 sseason) and is now the assistant general manager for the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Bulldog Bit • • • The 1985-86 Bulldogs are the last NCAA team to eclipse the 36.0 percent power play efficiency plateau for a season. That unit, which was anchored by the likes of Matt Christensen (right), produced the sixth best single-season mark (they connected at a staggering 36.5 percent clip) in NCAA history.

The trip to the Final Five was short-lived, however, as Bemidji State edged the Bulldogs 3-2 in overtime, knocking UMD out of the tournament.

ONCE A BULLDOG ... ALWAYS A BULLDOG

ONE HULL OF A NIGHT!

Nearly two decades after he last dazzled college puck fans with his goal-scoring wizardry, Brett Hull returned to his old stomping grounds -- the DECC - - on Feb. 3, 2006 to have his jersey (number 29) retired during a memorable and captivating intermission ceremony. Hull, who still owns a legion of UMD scoring records (including most goals in one season -- an eye popping 52 in 1985-86) hung up his National Hockey League skates earlier that year as its third all-time leading goal producer behind icons Wayne Gretzky and Gordie Howe. He joined hockey center iceman Keith “Huffer� Christiansen (pictured at right) as the only two Bulldog male athletes to have their numbers forever enshrined. Hull went on to have his jersey retired by the St. Louis Blues the next winter in addition to being inducted into both the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2009 (below right) -- a UMD first -- and the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame in 2008. Hull currently serves as the Blues Executive Vice President.

97


and now there are five When three-time All-American center Jack Connolly was bestowed with the 2011-12 Hobey Baker Memorial Award, he became the fifth Bulldog to be so honored. That’s a number unmatched by any other program in the country. UMD’s five Hobey Baker Memorial Award winners now include (left to right): Chris Marinucci (1993-94), Junior Lessard (2003-04), Jack Connolly (2011-12), Bill Watson (1984-85) and Tom Kurvers (1983-84).
