Men's coach Troy Jutting announced that he has hired Todd Knott to replace Eric Means, who became the MSU women's head coach. Knott spent last season as the head coach/general manager of the Sioux City Musketeers in the USHL. He also spent three years as an associate coach with the Des Moines Buccaneers and two seasons with the NAHL's Fargo-Moorhead Jets. The Red Lake Falls native played college hockey for Bemidji State and graduated from BSU in 2002.
Meanwhile, Means made his first hire Friday, bringing former MSU goaltending great Shari Vogt on his staff. Vogt, a 2004 graduate, is arguably the Mavericks' greatest player. She spent last season coaching girls hockey at Shattuck-St. Mary's School in Faribault. Means said he hopes to hire his other assistant by the end of next week.
