Kornacki: How Berenson Built So Much More Than a Hockey Team

ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Gordon "Red" Berenson has retired after 33 beyond-special seasons as the ice hockey coach at the University of Michigan, his beloved alma mater.

He leaves behind 848 victories, and only three peers have exceeded that.

He leaves behind two national championships, in 1996 and 1998, and two Hobey Baker Award winners in Brendan Morrison (1997) and Kevin Porter (2008), as well as 11 Frozen Four appearances, a record 22 consecutive NCAA Tournament berths, 20 CCHA regular-season or tournament titles, and Michigan's first Big Ten Tournament championship in 2016.
