UND Hockey Program "He started the program in its infancy stages, built it from the ground up, and paved the way for the program to build it what it is today," UND men's hockey coach Brad Berry told the Fargo Forum. "He always had a smile on his face. His fondest memories came from UND hockey, and he told everyone that. He'll be sadly missed."
