Woog was the head coach of the Pride on Ice from 1985 until 1999. His 388 career wins was a Minnesota record until Don Lucia eclipsed his mark in 2015. Woog was also an All-American forward playing for another Gopher coaching legend in John Mariucci. Woog played from 1964-1966 as freshmen were not allowed to play in those days.
