NADINE MUZERALLHEAD WOMEN’S HOCKEY COACH3RD SEASON2018 WCHA COACH OF THE YEAR

In just her second year at the helm, Muzerall led the Buckeyes to new heights the program had never seen before, making the NCAA tournament and NCAA Frozen Four for the first time in program history. Along the way, the Buckeyes set new program records for wins (24) and WCHA wins (14), while posting an 11-5-1 record against top-10 ranked teams. Thanks to her efforts on the bench, Muzerall earned the first WCHA Coach of the Year award in program history.

With the success on the ice numerous Buckeyes earned individual honors, headlined by Emma Maltais earning the WCHA Rookie of the Year award. The freshman also earned spots on the All-WCHA First Team and All-WCHA Rookie Team. Joining Maltais on the All-WCHA First Team was Jincy Dunne. The defenseman also earned AHCA All-American and All-USCHO status. Kassidy Sauve and Tatum Skaggs also earned All-WCHA honors. The five All-WCHA honors earned by the Buckeyes eclipsed the previous best of four.

Off the ice, OSU had 13 student-ath-letes named to the WCHA All-Academ-ic Team including Lauren Spring, who was a finalist for the Hockey Human-itarian Award. Spring, along with six other Buckeyes, earned WCHA Scholar-Athlete status.

Muzerall coached Canada’s U22 National Team at the 2017 Nations Cup, and she is no stranger to a Hockey Canada coaching staff. In 2016 she was an assistant coach for a three-game series against the United States that took place in Calgary (during which Canada took two of the three games), and she has served as a camp coach at Canada’s National Women’s Under-18 Team selection camp. Back in July of 2016 she was named to the coaching staff for Canada’s National Women’s Development Team.

A two-time All-American and two-time national champion as a player at Minnesota, Muzerall spent five years behind the bench as an assistant coach with the Golden Gophers. The first women’s hockey player to be

inducted into her university’s hall of fame, she helped guide her former team to four national championships and five-consecutive spots in the title game. During her tenure she coached five Olympians (Mira Jalosuo, Megan Bozek, Amanda Kessel, Anne Schleper, and Lee Stecklein), none of whom had made Olympic rosters prior to Muzer-all’s arrival.

While serving as a member of the Golden Gophers staff, Muzerall’s teams accrued a record of 182-14-8, including a perfect 41-0-0 record during the 2012-13 season. 13 Minne-sota team records are held by squads the she either coached or played for.

Regarding her playing career, Muzerall was a prolific player for the Golden Gophers. An All-American in 1998 and 2000, she also earned Team MVP honors during those seasons. As a freshman in 1998 and a senior in 2001, she was a Patty Kazmaier Award final-ist. She still sits atop the all-time goals scored list with 139 and graduated as the career points leader for Minneso-ta. She holds the honorable distinction of having won multiple national championships as a player and as a coach as the same institution: 2000 and 2001 as a player, 2012, 2013, 2015, and 2016 as a coach.

Prior to her return to Minneapolis, Mu-zerall made a couple significant career stops. She spent two seasons playing for Hockey Club Lugano in Switzerland, skating on the first line and leading her team in both points and goals. During her tenure, the team won a Swiss National Championship and advanced to the European Cup, where they won a bronze medal.

She also was a teacher and hockey coach at Northfield Mount Hermon School in Mt. Hermon, Massachusetts, from 2002 to 2009. In addition to serving as the head women’s hockey coach, Muzerall was a physical education teacher. She also has contributed as an instructor to several well-known hockey camps, helping young hockey players across the country.
