Mar 22, 2018 | Hockey
OMAHA, Neb. – Omaha hockey head coach Mike Gabinet announced today that assistant coach Peter Mannino will be leaving the staff to take an associate head coach position with another school.
"We will be searching for a coach with superior recruitment skills and a passion to assist in our player development program," said Gabinet. "I expect there to be significant interest in the position by individuals who can help us continue the positive momentum we have built in the last year, and I'm looking forward to meeting some great candidates.
"We thank Peter for his contributions to Maverick hockey. This move will allow him and his family to be closer to their parents."
The Mavericks finished 17-17-2 this season and went 10-13-1-0/0 in the National Collegiate Hockey Conference, finishing in fifth place, just two points out of fourth. The conference finish was above expectations as Omaha was predicted to finish seventh in the NCHC's preseason poll. In addition, the Mavericks finished fourth in the country in average attendance.
Under Gabinet's first season as head coach, the Mavericks ranked in the top 10 in the nation in offense and on the power play. Fifteen players reached new career highs for goals, assists, points and wins this season.
The Mavericks will begin their 22nd season of Division I hockey and their sixth as members of the NCHC in October.
