BDN Reports on Hockey Program Review, Tim Whitehead

The Bangor Daily News spoke with University of Maine men’s hockey coach Tim Whitehead and UMaine Athletic Director Steve Abbott about a review of the men’s ice hockey program. The Black Bears, who went 11–19–8 this past season, were ousted by UMass Lowell last week in the Hockey East quarterfinal series. Abbott said he will look at what needs to be done to improve the program and make the team more competitive. Whitehead said he hopes to return as coach next season and build a stronger team.
