Michigan hockey will never be the same.
Legendary coach Red Berenson, 77, is expected to announce today that the recently concluded season -- his 33rd behind the bench at U-M -- was his last. He will meet with the team at 3 p.m., and a news conference is scheduled for shortly thereafter.
The Wolverines finished 13-19-3 overall and 6-12-2-2 in the Big Ten. They lost in the first round of the conference tournament last month at Joe Louis Arena.
Berenson, who won national championships in 1996 and 1998, has told the Free Press that he contemplated retiring after last season but decided to come back for 2016-17 because Warde Manuel was in his first year as U-M athletic director.
