Tenure and achievements

The team also won multiple WCHA championships under his leadership. Frost coached and developed several of the sport’s top players.

Coyle praised Frost as a strong coach and a person of integrity. He said the program must contend at the highest level in all areas.
Search for a successor
The university will launch a national search immediately to find a new leader. Coyle said it is time for a new voice to guide the team.
He also described the role as one of the top coaching jobs in women’s hockey. The search aims to restore sustained championship contention.
