Ann Arbor — Red Berenson will be given a huge honor Friday night at Yost Arena when the Wolverines play No. 1 Notre Dame in a Big Ten game.
Prior to the 6:30 p.m. faceoff, Red Berenson Rink will be officially dedicated. There will be a tribute video of Berenson, who guided the Wolverines for 33 seasons, including a pair of national championships (1996, 1998) and another national title game appearance in 2011, before announcing his retirement last spring. He will also take part in a ceremonial puck drop.
“It’s nice and it came right out of left field for me,” Berenson, 78, told The Detroit News during an interview Wednesday at his office inside Weidenbach Hall.
