Western Michigan's hockey season is just over two months away, but the Broncos will have a new coach behind the bench for the first time in a decade.
Andy Murray and WMU announced Tuesday that Murray was stepping down as WMU’s coach after 10 seasons, a 167-156-43 record and two NCAA tournament appearances. WMU will promote assistant coach Pat Ferschweiler to the top spot.
Ferschweiler, 51, was an assistant under Murray in his most recent stint at WMU. Prior to that, the WMU alum was a Detroit Red Wings (2015-19) and Grand Rapids Griffins (2014-15) assistant under former WMU coach Jeff Blashill, Murray’s predecessor who also hired Ferschweiler at WMU in 2010.
