Professionally, Derek helped elevate the profile of our @UNDWHockey program. Personally, he was my first hire and he'll be missed. #GreatRun

I am saddened by the news that UND Women's Hockey Sid Derek Koenen is leaving UND, to be closer to his family, who's from Southern Minnesota. Derek is a class act and was very good about getting the players that the media wanted to interview, made available. It was a pleasure getting to know him and work with him in the press box during women's games, over the last two years. I would like to wish him good luck.
Tough week for the ol' media relations office as we say farewell on Friday to @derekkoenen, who has been with us since 2008-09. (1/2)

Bittersweet week as I leave a great athletics department, university and community for different adventures. (1/1)
