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: (.666) WCHA: ( Years) 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

He also worked for the Columbus Blue Jackets of the National Hockey League from He served as associate head coach during the season and as director of player development in Blais played college hockey at the University of Minnesota from In 124 games, he had 56 goals and 83 assists for 139 points. He was the Gophers Rookie of the Year in 1970 and was an NCAA All-Tournament selection in After college, he played three seasons of pro hockey with the Chicago Blackhawks development team in Dallas, Texas.

High School before rejoining North Dakota as head coach in In April of 2010, Blais signed a contract extension with UNO taking him through the season. 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.

5 Scouting This Week s Opponent Alaska Anchorage Location: Anchorage, Alaska Conference: WCHA Enrollment: 20,242 Nickname: Seawolves Colors: Green and Gold Arena: Sullivan Arena Dimensions: 200 x 100 Capacity: 6, Record: , WCHA (T-8th) Website: Head Coach: Dave Shyiak (7th season) Career Record: Alma Mater: Northern Michigan (1993) Assistant Coaches: Campbell Blair, T.J. Jindra Briefly The shutout loss to Anchorage was the first of the season for the Mavericks. They were shut out just once last season. Goaltender Ryan Massa made his collegiate debut on Friday, stopping 14 shots in just over 24 minutes of relief action against Alaska Anchorage. He made his first collegiate start the following night, stopping 25 shots and allowing four goals against Alaska. John Faulkner made his school record 43rd consecutive start against Alaska Anchorage on Oct. 14. That string stretched back to the end of the season when he started the second game of a playoff series with Ferris State. On Friday against Alaska Anchorage, the Mavericks played in the first penaltyfree game in school history. The closest they had come to that occurrence before then was Oct. 30, 2003 when they were whistled for one minor in a game at Notre Dame. Friday s game against UAA will be the first meeting between the two schools outside the state of Alaska. The first three games of the all-time series were staged at Sullivan Arena in Anchorage before last Friday s meeting in Fairbanks. UNO is all-time against the Seawolves. The Mavericks are at home this season, beating Mercyhurst, 5-1, on Oct. 7 before losing to Colgate, 4-3, on Oct. 8. The Mavericks will play 12 out of their 18 road games this season in the first half of the season. They have just three road series after Jan. 1, Another Bumper Crop One year after welcoming 10 new players to their roster, the Mavericks bring in 10 more freshmen. Of that group, six are fowards, two are defensemen and two are goaltenders. Seven of those players are graduates of the United States Hockey League while two played their junior hockey in Canada. Forward Josh Archibald begins his college career directly from the Minnesota high school ranks. All 10 players are Americans. Home Ice Advantage UNO is (.733) at home during the Dean Blais era. The Mavericks finished the season with an overall home record of In those games, the Mavericks outscored opponents and outshot them Their power play at home clicked at 15.6 percent (14/90) while the penalty kill was successful 87.3 percent of the time (69/79). UNO finished the season with a record of at Qwest Center Omaha. UNO is (.587) all-time on home ice. Points: POS GP G A PTS PIM Daniel Naslund F Mickey Spencer F Mitch Bruijsten F Matt Bailey F Jade Portwood F Quinn Sproule D Jordan Kwas F Sam Mellor F Brett Cameron F Alex Gellert F Goalies: GP W L T GAA SV% SO Rob Gunderson Chris Kamal Polling Places The Mavericks dropped out of both weekly Division I polls for the first time in more than a year. The last time they weren t ranked in the top 15 by USA Today/ USA Hockey Magazine or the top 20 tabulated by USCHO.com was Oct. 4, The Mavs were 14th in both polls in the preseason, the same position in which they finished the campaign. Last year, the Mavs spent four weeks ranked fourth in both polls, their highest position ever in the weekly polls. They were in the top 10 for 12 straight weeks, the longest stretch in school history. They had 22 weeks ranked in the top 15 and 13 weeks in the top 10. Applying Some Whitewash John Faulkner set the standard for shutouts in a season by a UNO goalie, earning six during the season. He enters this season just one from tying Dan Ellis for the UNO lead in career shutouts which Ellis accomplished over three seasons. Faulkner finished the year tied with RIT s Shane Madolora and Yale s Ryan Rondeau for the NCAA shutout lead. The native of Sarnia, Ontario pitched four shutouts at home and two on the road. Faulkner would probably tell you he had plenty of help in earning those goose eggs. UNO had posted just four total shutouts in the three prior seasons combined. The Schedule Again this year, the Mavericks will play 36 regular-season games including 28 against WCHA teams. They are in a schedule grouping with Colorado College, Denver and Bemidji State so that they play each of those teams four times (two home, two road) and the other eight members twice each. In addition, the Mavericks have non-conference series with independent Alabama-Huntsville (Dec. 2 and 3) at the Nashville Predators home, Bridgestone Arena and at home against Quinnipiac of the ECAC (Dec. 30 and 31). UNO will play in two tournaments as well. The Mavs host the 2011 Mutual of Omaha Stampede on Oct. 7 and 8, playing Mercyhurst of Atlantic Hockey in the opener and either Robert Morris of Atlantic Hockey or Colgate of the ECAC in the finale. The following week, the Mavs head north to Alaska to take part in the Brice Alaska Goal Rush (Oct. 14 and 15) in Fairbanks. They ll play WCHA neighbor Alaska Anchorage on Friday and then renew acquaintances with old CCHA rival Alaska the following night.

6 2,000,000 And Counting The Mavericks welcomed three of the four largest crowds in school history last season including a crowd of 11,504 on Feb. 26 against Denver which ranks third all-time. The largest crowd in UNO history - 15,137 - watched UNO beat Wisconsin, 4-1 on Feb. 11. That same weekend, UNO drew 25,248 to both games of the series, a new school record for attendance for one weekend. The Mavs welcomed their 2,000,000th fan in the first game of the North Dakota series on Friday, Nov. 19. In so doing, they became the fastest NCAA school to reach that mark, doing so in a little more than 13 seasons (294 games). On that same night, they drew the fourth-largest crowd in school history when 11,181 came through the turnstiles. UNO has welcomed six of the nine largest crowds in school history to CenturyLink Center Omaha during the last two seasons. UNO finished the season ranked fifth in the nation in average home attendance, drawing an average of 7,994 to the CenturyLink Center in 20 games. WCHA Awards The Mavericks won eight weekly awards from the WCHA last season. Goaltender John Faulkner won four as the WCHA Defensive Player of the Week. Eric Olimb also won the award while three UNO freshmen picked up the WCHA s Rookie of the Week honor.
