The USHL’s Fargo Force has named Nick Oliver as the team’s new head coach.<\/p>\n

Oliver comes to Fargo with USHL coaching experience, having served as assistant coach\/director of scouting for the Sioux Falls Stampede from 2015 to 2018. Since then, he has served as the assistant coach for St. Cloud State.<\/p>\n

In his time with SCSU, Oliver helped lead the Huskies to an NCHC regular-season championship and the top seed in the 2019 NCAA tournament, followed by an NCAA Frozen Four appearance, the second in team history, and St Cloud\u2019s first-ever NCAA national championship Game appearance where they finished as runner-up.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to have Nick back in Fargo,\u201d said Force president Jon Kram in a statement. \u201cHe is a strong leader who has played at all levels which gives him a unique perspective of the game. It\u2019s always great to see former players succeed and we can\u2019t wait to see what Nick does here with the Force.\u201d<\/p>\n

Prior to coaching, Oliver played with the Force from 2009-11, serving as alternate captain during his final season. Following his two years with the Force, he played four years at St Cloud State.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy family and I are humbled and honored for the opportunity to be the next head coach of the Fargo Force,\u201d Oliver said. \u201cThis organization has always been a special place for me and I\u2019m excited to call Fargo home. I can\u2019t wait to connect with our players and get started.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
