Eight coaches who have enjoyed on-ice success in 2010-11 have
been named finalists for the Spencer Penrose Award, given
annually to the NCAA Division I Men’s Ice Hockey Coach of the
Year. The nominees represent any coach who won or shared Coach
of the Year honors in his conference this past season, along with
coaches whose teams have advanced to the NCAA Division I Men's
Ice Hockey semifinals. Of this year's finalists, five were
past recipients and one, Jeff Jackson of Notre Dame, is both

Florida, on Saturday evening, April 30. The winner will be
