CHN Staff Report
MINNEAPOLIS Minnesota coach Bob Motzko has signed a two-year contract extension, taking him through the 2027-28 season.
“I am grateful to (athletic director) Mark Coyle and the rest of the Athletics administration for believing in me and our staff and our leadership of Gopher Hockey,” Motzko said. “It has been exciting to be a part of our success and I am so appreciative of the incredible support we receive from our alumni, our students and all our fans. We have a tremendous staff and group of young men on this team, and I look forward to continuing to compete for championships with them.”
Motzko took over as head coach in 2018-19, and has gone 119-64-14 with the Gophers. He was Coach of the Year last season, and has taken Minnesota to back-to-back Frozen Fours, including last year’s national championship game, where the Gophers lost in overtime. He also has earned Big Ten Coach of the Year three times in the last four seasons.
“Bob has been a tremendous leader of our men’s hockey program,” Coyle said. “His ability to build a culture of success with our staff and student-athletes has led to achievements on the ice and for our team academically and socially. I am thrilled to have Bob continue to lead our men’s hockey program into the future.”
Minnesota is 6-3 in the national tournament under Motzko, increasing its all-time NCAA win total to 61, the most of any college hockey program.
