OMAHA, Neb. – UNO Director of Athletics #Trev Alberts announced today that head hockey coach Mike Kemp# will assume a new position as an associate athletic director with responsibility for hockey. The search will begin immediately for a new head hockey coach.
“Mike has made a choice of great humility and selflessness in order to benefit our hockey program,” said Alberts. “We need him here long term and in a role larger than coaching. He will figure prominently in the strengthening of our marquee program.
“Mike and his wife Julie have made amazing contributions to UNO and the greater Omaha community during his tenure here. It was important to us that he continue to play a prominent role in Maverick hockey.”
“I'm thrilled for the opportunity to join Trev, Michele Roberts, Don Leahy and Connie Claussen as a cog in the management team,” said Kemp. “It's important to me to continue to assist in the direction of hockey into the future.
“The UNO hockey program has been a huge part of my life and to continue to make decisions and plot the course of Maverick hockey is something I cherish.”
Kemp will work as associate athletic director under the final year of his coaching contract and then under a two-year extension commensurate with the salary and benefits of an associate athletic director. Kemp also will have responsibility for golf, cross country/track and field and soccer.
The committee to select a new head hockey coach will include Alberts, Kemp, associate athletic director Don Leahy, women's basketball coach Patty Patton Shearer, faculty athletic representative Bill Wakefield, hockey captain Mark Bernier and a member of the community at large.
