Hakstol Inks 5-Year Contract

Head coach Dave Hakstol will continue to be "The Man" at the reigns of UND hockey for the next five years.

From USCHO,
"Hakstol’s current contract is set to expire at the end of June next year. The new contract gives him a base salary of $210,000 a year, with incentives of up to 25 percent of the base if he and the team attain goals such as making the Frozen Four."

I think the numerous fans and pontificators might now let up on calling for his head on a platter. He has taken UND to the Frozen Four the last 3 seasons, his first 3 seasons as head coach. Not to shabby in my opinion, how many coaches have made 3 appearances in the frozen four, much less 3 in a row to start your head coaching career?

This should continue to add stability in an already solid program.
