Danton Cole was the safe pick for the job when former coach Tom Anastos stepped down. Like Anastos, Cole is an alumni and former player.
Unlike Anastos, Cole will come into the job with recent coaching experience as a head coach. Cole’s work with the development program to hockey fans around the state of Michigan. Now it’s time to translate that success to Munn Ice Arena.
The hire will not jump out as a surprise to anyone and this has probably been the expectation for the last couple weeks. Danton Cole will come into a program that will have quite a bit of talent for him to work with next season.
