Josh Hauge is the new men's ice hockey head coach at Union College. He replaces interim coach John Ronan, after spending the last six seasons at ECAC Hockey rival Clarkson University as as assistant coach/associate head coach.
Hauge, 43, an Apple Valley, Minn. native who played collegiately as a defenseman at NCAA Division III Bethel College, entered the coaching ranks in 2002-03 in the Minnesota Junior Hockey League. He then moved on to the Fairbanks Ice Dogs of the North American Hockey League in 2005-06, where he began as an assistant before being elevated to head coach in 2008-09.
Three years later, Hauge went to the Tri-City Storm of the United States Hockey League, where he ultimately served as General Manager/Head Coach. After one season as an assistant coach with Fargo (USHL), he joined Clarkson's staff as an assistant in 2015. He was then promoted to associate head coach in 2019, and in his overall tenure helped the Golden Knights to three consecutive NCAA tournament berths.
Union, which won its only NCAA men's hockey championship in 2014, is coming off a year where it finished 14-19-4 overall and had to endure the mid-season resignation of head coach Rick Bennett.
