Behind the Bench

by Published: Feb 17, 2010

With 287 career vic­to­ries, Ferris State hockey coach Bob Daniels ranks 11th among active NCAA Division I hockey coaches.

Daniels is the win­ningest coach in Ferris State hockey his­tory and has the longest tenure of any Bulldog hockey coach. Ferris State’s only Central Collegiate Hockey Association (CCHA) Regular-Season Championship and NCAA Tournament appear­ance came in 2002–2003 under Daniels’ tenure.

Daniels played for three sea­sons at Michigan State under Ron Mason, the all-time win­ningest coach in NCAA Division I hockey his­tory. However, Daniels was recruited by MSU leg­endary coach Amo Bessone dur­ing his final sea­son
at MSU.
