For his efforts in leading the Wolverines of the University of Michigan to both the CCHA regular season and tournament titles, Gordon “Red” Berenson has been chosen winner of the 2008 Spencer Penrose Award as Division I Men’s Coach of the Year.
Michigan went 33-6-4, ending the regular season ranked as the No. 1 team in the country. Making the accomplishment even more impressive was the fact that Michigan regularly skated as many as 10 freshmen in a game.
Berenson is the eighth CCHA coach to capture the Spenrose Penrose Award and the third in a row from the conference after Jeff Jackson of Notre Dame was honored last year and Enrico Blasi of Miami in 2006.
