DU and OSU names new head coaches

[Oilers Chick]

Forgive me for being a little late on these, but some coaching news to pass along...

Jim Montgomery has been hired as DU's new head coach. Montgomery, a Maine alum, was supposedly in the mix for the job at his alma mater too. Montgomery (if memory serves me correctly) coached at Dubuque (USHL) this season.

Steve Rohlik, who has been the Buckeyes' associate head coach under recently fired head coach Mark Osiecki, has been named the team's new head coach.

In addition to Maine, Alaska-Anchorage is also in the process of finding a new head coach.

Stay tuned.
