3 DEAN BLAIS Head Coach 13th Year/3rd Year at UNO Minnesota (1973) HONORS AND AWARDS Spencer Penrose Award (1997, 2001) NCAA Championship (1997, 2000) NCAA Tournament Appearances (1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2003, 2004, 2011) WCHA Coach of the Year (1997, 1999, 2001, 2011) IIHF World Junior Championship (2010) USHL Coach of the Year (2009) COLLEGE COACHING RECORD Nebraska Omaha Head Coach ( present) North Dakota Head Coach ( ) Assistant Coach ( ) Overall: ( th Year) UNO: ( rd Year) Conference: (.663) WCHA: ( th Year) CCHA: ( Year) NCAA Postseason: 9-6 ( Years) In just two years, Dean Blais has had an indelible influence on University of Nebraska Omaha hockey, burnishing his already exceptional credentials as one of the nation s finest coaches. Blais has led the Mavericks to two straight 20-win seasons, doing so for just the second time in school history. In the process, he earned his 300th career win. During the season, Blais guided UNO into the Western Collegiate Hockey Association where the Mavs finished third after being chosen to finish eighth and ninth in two pre-season polls. UNO returned to the NCAA playoffs for just the second time in school history last season and achieved a national ranking of fourth for four straight weeks, the highest in school history. Under Blais leadership, the Mavericks were last season and in the WCHA. The third-place finish was the highest ever for the Mavs in conference play. UNO s strong showing earned Blais the nod as the WCHA s Coach of the Year and put him in the running for the Spencer Penrose Trophy as Division I hockey s top coach. It wasn t difficult to see why Blais earned the accolades. The Mavericks swept their first-ever WCHA series, winning twice at Minnesota in October. They followed that with a split of a non-conference series at Michigan, a place they had won just once previously. Before Christmas, the Mavericks had won and tied at alwaystough St. Cloud State and stunned pre-season favorite North Dakota, winning 1-0 at home on a goal by Alex Hudson with.3 seconds remaining in regulation. The second half of the year featured another stunning win over North Dakota, this time by an 8-4 tally at vaunted Ralph Engelstad Arena in Grand Forks. Typical of Blais teams, the Mavericks surged down the stretch with back-to-back sweeps of St. Cloud and Wisconsin and hard-fought splits with Denver and at eventual national champion Minnesota Duluth. Blais earned win number 300 with a 4-3 win over the Badgers on Feb. 12 to complete the sweep. UNO s return to the NCAA playoffs was short-lived as the Mavericks lost to Michigan 3-2 in overtime in the regional semifinals on March 25, but Blais once again had been successful in further raising the expectations of his players and UNO fans alike. Seven players registered career highs in either goals, assists or points. Blais became only the second coach in UNO hockey history on June 12, 2009, succeeding Mike Kemp. In his first year in Omaha, he guided the Mavericks to a record of overall record and a record in their final season in the Central Collegiate Hockey Association. The record was good for a sixth-place finish, the highest finish by a UNO team since the season. The Mavericks got stronger as the year progressed. The team was just entering a weekend series with Northern Michigan in late January. The Mavs had already lost a pair of games to the Wildcats in November at Marquette, but they turned the tables in the rematch, winning by scores of 7-2 and 5-3 to ignite a strong run in the final six weeks of the season. Blais led UNO to a record of in the final 12 games. During that string, the Mavericks won at Notre Dame for the first time in nearly five years, beating the Irish 5-3 in the first game of the weekend series. They also earned their first ever series sweep over Michigan, a team they had beaten just four times in 31 prior meetings, with 4-3 and 4-1 wins at Qwest Center Omaha. The Mavs also beat then-top ranked Miami 4-2 in Oxford, Ohio on Feb. 20 and followed that with a 3-2 win over then-sixth ranked Bemidji State the following weekend to close the regular season. Blais found a way to get the most from his players in his first season at UNO. Eleven different players registered career highs in either goals, assists or points during the campaign. Moreover, Blais vaunted conditioning program paid big dividends as the Mavericks were unbeaten (14-0-3) when leading after the second period. In late December of 2010, Blais took over the reins of U.S. Junior Team at the 2010 IIHF World Junior Championship. He led the U.S. to a record of The Americans capped it off with a 6-5 overtime win over host country Canada in the gold medal game on Jan. 5, just the second gold ever won by the U.S. in the World Junior tournament. In March of 2011, it was announced that Blais will reprise his role as U.S. Junior Team head coach, once again leading a team into Canada in search of another gold medal. Blais came to UNO from the Fargo Force of the United States Hockey League where he served as head coach and general manager. As head coach of an expansion team in , Blais led the Force to a record of The team advanced to the USHL s Clark Cup Finals before losing to the Indiana Ice three games to one. He was named USHL Coach of the Year, and the Force were named Organization of the Year. As a college coach, Blais won NCAA Division I national championships as the head coach of the University of North Dakota in 1997 and The Fighting Sioux were runners up in 2001, the last of five straight NCAA appearances under Blais. Overall, the native of International Falls, Minn. guided North Dakota to seven NCAA appearances, five regular season WCHA titles and two WCHA playoff championships in addition to the national championships. Blais is a two-time winner of the Spencer Penrose Memorial Award given to the Division I coach of the year. He is a four-time WCHA coach of the year honoree. He was (.679), including five 30-win seasons, at North Dakota. In total, he spent 19 seasons with the Fighting Sioux, nine as an assistant and ten as the head coach. In that time, he coached 60 NHL draft picks, 28 All-Americans, three WCHA players of the year, four WCHA rookies of the year, 40 members of the All-WCHA team and 11 All-WCHA rookie team picks. In addition to coaching Team USA in 2010, Blais was the head coach of the U.S. National Junior Team in 1993 and an

Blais is the father of three grown children: Sarah, Ben and Mary Beth. Dean Blais has led the Mavericks to back-to-back 20-win seasons for just the second time in school history. In , he guided the Mavs to a third-place finish in their first year in the WCHA. It s the highest-ever conference finish for a UNO team.
