The American Hockey Coaches Association (AHCA) announced the winner of the Edward Jeremiah Award for the 2021-22 ACHA Division II-III Men’s Coach of the Year. Head coach Adam Krug of the Adrian College NCAA men’s hockey team was voted for the award.
Adam Krug is in his eighth season as head coach of the Adrian College men’s hockey team. The Bulldogs enter the Frozen Four with a 29-1 record and sit on a 29-game winning streak entering Friday’s NCAA semifinal vs. Augsburg University.
As a coach, Krug has won multiple NCHA regular season titles and NCHA playoff titles. He led the Bulldogs to an NCHA Regular Season Peters Cup Championship and an NCHA Tournament Harris Cup Championship in the 2021-22 season. He was named NCHA Coach of the Year for the fourth time in his career. Earlier this season, he recorded his 168th career win to become the winningest coach in Adrian College (NCAA) men’s hockey history after passing former head coach Ron Fogarty. Krug enters the weekend with a career coaching record of 178-40-11.
The 2021-22 season marks the fourth Frozen Four appearance for the Bulldogs, the third with Krug at the helm of the program.
Krug is a 2012 alumnus of Adrian College and sits near the top in multiple categories of the Adrian College record book. Krug played from 2007-09 with the Bulldogs, totaling 129 points, with 52 goals and 77 assists. He scored 77 of his career points during the 2007-08 season.
The Edward Jeremiah Award is named in honor of the great Dartmouth College head coach and was first presented in 1970.
