GRAND FORKS, N.D. – University of North Dakota Director of Athletics Bill Chaves announced on Sunday that a change is being made in the leadership of the North Dakota hockey program.
Brad Berry, who just completed his 10th season behind the bench, will not return next season.
“Coach Berry has had a tremendous decade run at his alma mater,” said Chaves. “Not many coaches win a national title and he’s one of a very few. His time will be cherished, but today was the right time to move in a new direction for UND hockey.”
Berry guided North Dakota to 10 winning seasons, amassing a 227-119-35 overall record to rank fourth all-time in program history in wins. He also captured five NCHC Penrose Cups, one NCHC Frozen Faceoff crown, five NCAA Tournament appearances and became the first-and-only head coach in NCAA Division I men’s hockey history to win a national title in his first season in 2015-16.
Chaves also announced that Dane Jackson will serve as the interim head coach.
The national search for the program’s next head coach will commence immediately and will abide by the university’s hiring practices.
