Merrimack head coach Mark Dennehy has signed a two-year contract extension that will keep him as the Warriors’ head coach through the 2018-19 season.
“I am humbled and my family is truly grateful for the support and trust that (Merrimack president) Dr. Hopey and (director of athletics) Glenn Hofmann have continued to show in me and the hockey program,” said Dennehy in a statement. “Merrimack is a unique and special place in which hockey is truly a part of the fabric of the college. The excitement and momentum that not only the hockey program has established, but just as importantly is present throughout the entire college community makes this a place that I want to stay at for the rest of my career.”
Dennehy who has been at Merrimack the past six seasons, was the 2009-10 Hockey East co-coach of the year and was the 2010 and 2011 All-New England coach of the year.
In 2010-11, Merrimack defeated every Hockey East team for the second straight season and second time ever and was ranked nationally for the final 17 weeks of the season, reaching No. 4 nationally in February.
