Jerry Keefe (Providence) has formerly taken over as the men's hockey head coach at Northeastern University. An assistant/associate coach with the Huskies since 2011, he succeeds Jim Madigan, who was elevated to athletic director.
Jay Pandolfo has been named an associate men's hockey coach at his alma mater, Boston University. The former Terriers and NHL forward, who won a national title at BU and two Stanley Cups with the New Jersey Devils, was an assistant coach with the Boston Bruins the last five years.
Finally, the men's branch of the Western Collegiate Hockey Association, which was down to just two schools in Alaska Anchorage and Alaska Fairbanks following a mass exodus, has been formally disbanded after 70 years of play. It earned a host of accolades since 1951, including 37 NCAA national championships. The WCHA women's league will continue play.
Happy Independence Day!
ADDENDUM: Former New York Rangers assistant coach Greg Brown (Boston College) was recently named head coach of Dubuque (USHL).
