Mike Hastings is moving from his position as assistant coach at Minnesota to the associate head coach position at Nebraska-Omaha.<\/p>\n
Hastings will join new Mavericks coach Dean Blais and Nick Fohr, who as an assistant coach for former UNO coach Mike Kemp, in the new staff.<\/p>\n
“Mike Hastings has a proven track record of developing players for Division I college hockey, and he will be a great asset as we work to take UNO to the next level,” Blais said in a news release. “In addition, Nick Fohr has done a fine job during his two years as an assistant coach at UNO, and he will provide continuity to our program both on the ice and in recruiting.”<\/p>\n

His move back to Omaha could signal a line of succession in the Mavericks’ head coaching position.<\/p>\n
“Dean told Mike that whoever takes this position will have a great chance to replace him down the line,” Minnesota coach Don Lucia said in a news release. “I enjoyed my year with Mike and wish him the best.”<\/p>\n
