Former St. Cloud State defenseman and assistant coach Garrett Raboin has been hired as an assistant coach for new Gophers head coach Bob Motzko’s staff. The hire had been rumored for a bit but was confirmed on Wednesday by Eric Vegoe of The Athletic and was additionally confirmed by the Star Tribune.
It appears Raboin will be the only new assistant on Motzko’s staff as Gopher assistant Scott Bell will remain on Motzko’s staff for the 2018-19 season. Bell and former Gopher assistant Mike Guentzel were both under contract until the end of the 2018-19 season and would have been paid by the U of M regardless of their coaching status.
