Retired University of Michigan hockey coach Gordon "Red" Berenson gave the command for drivers to start their engines at Sunday's NASCAR Monster Cup Energy Series Pure Michigan 400 at Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn, Mich. The race was won by Kyle Larson.
Berenson, 77, retired this summer after 33 years at the helm of Wolverines hockey. He left with a 848-426-92 overall record from 1984 to 2017 at his alma mater , including NCAA titles in 1996 and 1998, and came within an overtime goal of a third in 2011. He also led Michigan to 10 Central Collegiate Hockey Association regular-season championships and nine CCHA Tournament crowns, plus a record 22 consecutive NCAA Tournament berths from 1991 to 2012.
A native of Regina, Sask., who holds both bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Michigan, Berenson played almost 20 seasons in the NHL with Montreal, St. Louis, the New York Rangers and Detroit, recording 261 goals and 397 assists for 658 points in 987 regular-season outings.
