ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Michigan hockey coach Red Berenson is retiring after a 33-season run that included two national championships.
“I’ve thought about this for a long time and I think this is the right time and it’s the right thing to do for the Michigan hockey program,” the 77-year-old Berenson said Monday.
He will become a special adviser to athletic director Warde Manuel, who called Berenson a legend.
Berenson led the Wolverines to national titles in 1996 and 1998 in 11 Frozen Four appearances. He had a record of 848-426-92 and earned a spot in 23 NCAA Tournaments, including an NCAA-record run of 22 straight from 1991 to 2012.
