Since becoming the head coach of the Gophers, Minnesota has won three national championships and has been named the AHCA National Coach of the Year in 1998, 2002 and in 2004. She is the only coach to earn the award multiple times. Since the inception of the hockey program in 1997-98, Halldorson holds a 226-44-20 record (.814 winning percentage).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Laura Halldorson, coach of the two-time defending NCAA champion Minnesota women&#8217;s hockey team, signed a three contract on Tuesday.
