Experienced bench boss Murray Nystrom tapped to lead Pronghorns men’s hockey team
LETHBRIDGE – Following a national search, the Lethbridge Pronghorns have announced that longtime former U SPORTS coach Murray Nystrom has been named the head coach of the men’s hockey program.
Nystrom becomes the tenth head coach in the program’s history. Nystrom spent 18 years as the head coach of the Brock Badgers in the OUA in Ontario, leading the Badgers to the program’s first University Cup appearance in 2008.
Over his 18 years, the 2008 CIS Coach of the Year compiled a record of 191-227-18-39, while making 14 appearances in the OUA playoffs.
Executive Director of Sports and Rec Ken McInnes says they’re very pleased to have someone of Nystrom’s calibre join their program for this new chapter in Pronghorn Men’s Hockey.
