He has led the Tigers to three Atlantic Hockey championships and three NCAA tournament appearances, including an appearance in the 2010 Frozen Four.<\/p>\n<p>Wilson is the only head coach to win both the Edward Jeremiah Award (2001 Division III National Coach of the Year) and the Spencer Penrose Award (2010 Division I National Coach of the Year).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are thrilled to be able to extend this offer to Wayne, whose contributions, success, track record and legacy has meant so much to our men\u2019s hockey program and the university,\u201d said RIT director of athletics Lou Spiotti in a statement. \u201cWe believe in all of the things he has done, going back to Division III and a string of success that is unique to Division I hockey. We are looking forward to working with Wayne and his staff to bring RIT to the forefront at the national level.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Tigers have won at least 20 games in a season eight times under Wilson. In 2010, Wilson led the squad to a 28-12-1 record, while making its storied run to the Frozen Four. Since moving to Division I in 2005, RIT has a 194-122-44 record in Atlantic Hockey league play, with four regular-season championships and three conference titles (2010, 2015, 2016).<\/p>\n<p>In 2015, RIT knocked off the No. 1 team in the country for the first time, defeating Minnesota State in the NCAA Midwest Regional semifinal. Last season, RIT finished with 17 victories and advanced to the Atlantic Hockey tournament semifinals.<\/p>\n<p>Wilson began his tenure as RIT\u2019s head coach in 1999. Prior to RIT moving into Division I, he led the Tigers to three NCAA Division III tournament appearances, including the national championship game in 2001.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s been a great 20 years and I am excited to continue being a part of our program\u2019s future,\u201d added Wilson. \u201cI\u2019m thrilled with how the program has grown and evolved over the last 20 years. I am excited to try and lead our program to more NCAA appearances and another Frozen Four with a great staff in (associate head coach) Brian Hills and (assistant coach) Dave Insalaco. We are looking forward to the challenge.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I believe in the vision of our leadership team from (RIT president) Dr. Munson, (RIT senior vice president of student affairs) Dr. Sandy Johnson and Lou Spiotti. I am excited to be a part of RIT\u2019s future growth.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> RIT announced Saturday that men&#8217;s hockey coach Wayne Wilson has signed a contract extension through the 2024-25 season (photo: Melissa Wade).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":120,"featured_media":93697,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"coauthors":[901],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.9 -
