Five days before class started, the Ohio State University let their women's hockey head coach, Jenny Potter, go. To replace her OSU hired Nadine Muzerall in early September. Muzerall played for the University of Minnesota Women's Hockey team from 1997-2001 and later returned in 2011 as an assistant coach. During her five years coaching at Minnesota, the Gophers appeared in every championship game, ultimately winning four NCAA national titles. She will be missed on the maroon and gold bench.
While this is a wonderful opportunity for Muzerall and she is expected to flourish in her new role, it leaves a hole in the Gophers coaching staff.
