Michigan State athletic director Mark Hollis apparently has chosen another alumnus to lead the hockey program.
USA Hockey National Team Development Program head coach Danton Cole is returning to his alma mater, according to scout.com.
Cole did not immediately respond to calls nor texts from the Free Press. Hollis also has not responded to requests for comment.
Scott Monaghan, USA Hockey NTDP senior director of operations, told the Free Press this morning that Cole knows prospects coming up through the ranks and is an experienced, hard-nosed coach.
Cole, 50, won a Stanley Cup as a player with the New Jersey Devils in 1995.
