Rochester Institute of Technology head coach Wayne Wilson has signed a four-year contract extension that will take him through the 2016-17 season.<\/p>\n
Wilson, who will enter his 15th season behind the bench at RIT in 2013-14, has a 270-145-44 overall record with the Tigers and in 2010, led RIT to the Frozen Four and Atlantic Hockey championship.<\/p>\n
“Wayne Wilson and RIT hockey have become synonymous,” said RIT executive director of athletics Lou Spiotti, Jr., in a news release. “He has led our program through an era that has been marked by excellence and success. We are fortunate to have a coach of his caliber at the helm of our Division I program. Coach Wilson’s agreement with RIT secures his presence behind the Tigers bench and the prospects of many successful years ahead.”<\/p>\n
After the Frozen Four run in 2010, Wilson signed a five-year extension, but this new extension will wipe out the final two seasons of the original contract Wilson signed three years ago.<\/p>\n
“It really is a pleasure to work on a daily basis with such a great coaching staff, support staff and exceptional student-athletes as we work together in our goal of winning the AHA championship and make the NCAA tournament,” added Wilson. <\/p>\n
Wilson is also the only head coach to win both the Edward Jeremiah Award (2001 Division III National Coach of the Year) and the Spencer Penrose Award (2010 Division I National Coach of the Year).our <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
