Katie Million Named Wcha Vice President and Women's FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE KATIE MILLION NAMED WCHA VICE PRESIDENT AND WOMEN’S LEAGUE COMMISSIONER Longtime executive with the New York State Olympic Regional Development Authority to assume reigns of nation’s premier women’s league Sept. 2, 2016 EDINA, Minn. – July 21, 2016 – Bringing an experienced, visionary leader to helm the nation’s premier women’s conference, the Western Collegiate Hockey Association (WCHA) today named longtime New York State Olympic Regional Development Authority (ORDA) executive Katie Million as its next vice president and Women’s League commissioner. Million agreed to a three-year contract and will begin her role Sept. 2, 2016. “This is an exciting day for the present and future of the WCHA Women’s League, as we welcome a dynamic new commissioner in Katie Million,” said University of Minnesota Duluth Athletic Director Josh Berlo, who served as chair of the league’s six-person search committee. “We received a strong, diverse and talented candidate pool for this position. Katie’s passion for celebrating and growing the sport of hockey, along with a proven track record of accelerating exposure, partnerships and revenue through first-rate events and championships, makes her the perfect person at an exciting time in the league’s history. Katie’s relationships and progressive approach will further the WCHA’s role in advancing women’s hockey, while enhancing the championship-level success and unparalleled student-athlete experience that have long been league hallmarks.” “I am honored and humbled to be selected as the next WCHA vice president and Women’s League commissioner,” said Million. “I am very excited to work with the coaches, administrators and faculty athletics representatives at all of our programs, but most importantly the student-athletes that make up the top women’s hockey league in the country. “I’m looking forward to visiting each of our prestigious universities, cultivating relationships, engaging alumni and building on the WCHA’s illustrious success. Drawing on my experience as director of events for the Olympic Authority in Lake Placid, I am excited to begin work on the league tournament – the WCHA Final Face-Off. “I will do my very best to serve this Association and our student-athletes as Women’s League commissioner and continue to promote, grow and build upon its rich tradition.” Million joins the WCHA after a highly-successful 17-year stay in Lake Placid, N.Y., including the last three years as ORDA’s director of events. Under her leadership, ORDA further established itself as the region’s foremost hub for major national and international competitions in the 21st century, hosting multiple world cups, world championships and made-for-television events in a variety of sports. Million oversaw multiple collegiate hockey games and tournaments, including six ECAC Men’s Hockey Championships, five NCAA Division III Men’s Championships and the 2007 NCAA Division I Women’s Frozen Four. Lake Placid also served as a consistent home for USA Hockey, with Million guiding efforts around numerous KATIE MILLION NAMED WCHA VICE PRESIDENT AND WOMEN’S LEAGUE COMMISSIONER | 1 of 2 Men’s and Women’s National Festivals and Camps, along with the 2004, 2008 and 2013 Four Nations Cup tournaments. “As a member of the search committee, I am extremely excited to welcome Katie as the new commissioner of the WCHA Women’s League,” said Dr. Sue Jeno, faculty athletics representative at the University of North Dakota. “She brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the position and I firmly believe she will be the catalyst to help the WCHA, as well as women’s hockey in general, grow to new heights. I look forward to working with Katie in the months and years ahead.” After holding the league’s last three Men’s League Championships (2014-16) in Lake Placid, working closely with ORDA, ECAC Hockey Commissioner Steve Hagwell commented: “The WCHA has made a tremendous selection in hiring Katie Million to serve as commissioner of its Women’s League. She is a consummate professional who brings great enthusiasm and a tremendous work ethic to her new role. Quite simply, Katie gets things done. More importantly, she is a first-class individual with strong character and integrity. Katie will be a great representative of the WCHA.” Among her executive duties with ORDA, Million led, organized and directed logistical, operational and administrative assets surrounding all events, while also coordinating and leading marketing, promotion and sponsorship efforts. During her tenure, she developed relationships with such corporate partners as Disney (and ESPN), Turner Sports and Red Bull, along with a multitude of national and international governing bodies. Most recently, Million undertook a contract role as general manager of the 1980 Miracle Hockey Team, assuming responsibility for managing the professional reputation and branding of the sport’s most iconic and cherished team. She rose to that level after coordinating all aspects of the last two “Miracle on Ice Fantasy Camps” and the widely-lauded “Miracle on Ice 35th Anniversary Celebration” events in 2015. “Katie has done an excellent job developing and managing the professional reputation of the 1980 Miracle Hockey Team, and creating a memorable experience for everyone involved at our annual ‘Fantasy Camp,’” said Steve Janaszak, a 1980 U.S. Olympian and a national champion goaltender at the University of Minnesota. “The 1980 Miracle Hockey Team congratulates Katie on this incredible opportunity to lead the development and advancement of women’s college hockey as the new WCHA Women’s League commissioner.” In her new position, Million will work closely alongside WCHA President and Men’s League Commissioner Bill Robertson toward the Association’s shared goals and mission. “I am thrilled to have Katie on board at the WCHA,” said Robertson, who also served on the search committee. “She has wonderful and infectious enthusiasm for providing the very best experience for the student-athletes, while her successes in enhancing brands, managing large-scale events and developing partnerships speak for themselves. I look forward to collaborating with Katie in the continued growth and excellence of the WCHA.” Added fellow search committee member and Bemidji State University Assistant Coach Amber Fryklund: “I am excited to welcome Katie to the WCHA Women’s League! She brings a terrific background that will promote our league, while representing our student-athletes and institutions in a positive and energetic fashion. Her vision and leadership will continue to build on a great tradition of excellence in the WCHA.” Million has served as an adjunct lecturer at Paul Smith’s College in Paul Smiths, N.Y. for the last six years, while she also managed the Venue Communication Center at the Whistler (B.C.) Sliding Centre during KATIE MILLION NAMED WCHA VICE PRESIDENT AND WOMEN’S LEAGUE COMMISSIONER | 2 of 2 the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympic Games. Since 2005, she has managed the Songs at Mirror Lake Music Series – a Lake Placid-based nonprofit, volunteer-based community group she helped create. Million earned a Bachelor of Science in business administration from State University of New York at Oswego. Million becomes the third commissioner in the 17-year history of the WCHA Women’s League, following Sara Martin (1999-2014) and Aaron Kemp (2014-16). Robertson, who has served in an interim capacity since Kemp’s retirement in February, will continue in that role until Million officially begins. About the Western Collegiate Hockey Association (WCHA) The women’s Western Collegiate Hockey Association has won a record 16 national championships in 17 years since its inception in 1999, while producing six Patty Kazmaier Award winners, 86 All-Americans and numerous Olympic and international team members.

  • Relive the Miracle for Less- Miracle on Ice Fantasy Camp Says “Happy Holidays” with Extended Discount Rate
    DATE: November 23, 2015 CONTACT: Jon Lundin, ORDA director of communications, ([email protected]) at (518) 523-1655 ext. 5313 Relive the Miracle for Less- Miracle on Ice Fantasy Camp Says “Happy Holidays” with Extended Discount Rate LAKE PLACID, N.Y. – Do you have a hockey fanatic in your family? Skip the long lines for sticks, skates and swag and fulfill their fantasy this holiday season with the hockey experience of a lifetime. The Miracle on Ice Fantasy Camp, taking place April 3-7, in the two-time Olympic village of Lake Placid, N.Y., is extending a discounted camper rate through Christmas Day. The five-day camp features a coaching staff comprised of at least 11 1980 U.S. Olympic Hockey gold medalists, all returning from last year, and includes Neal Broton, Dave Christian, Mike Eruzione, John Harrington, Steve Janaszak, Mark Johnson, Ken Morrow, Mike Ramsey, Buzz Schneider, Dave Silk and Mark Wells. The group is eager and excited to share their hockey knowledge, stories and Olympic experience with 68 campers. “The Miracle on Ice Hockey Camp is a chance to connect with one of the greatest moments in sports. Our team is continually amazed at the response we continue to get from not only fans but the general public,” added Harrington, who assisted on Eruzione’s go-ahead goal against the Russians. “It was an amazing time in our lives, a crucial time in global politics, and to know that we had some effect on the psyche of a nation is very flattering. “This camp will enable participants and players to re-live that time period, share the inside stories and allow you to play in one of the most famed arenas in all of sports.” A limited number of spots remain (must be 21 and over) for the camp which is held in the Olympic Center’s 1980 Rink-Herb Brooks Arena.

  • Four More Fantasy Camp Coaches Delivered in Time for the Holidays a Limited Number of Spots Remain to Be Filled for the Camp
    DATE: December 14, 2014 CONTACT: Jon Lundin, ORDA director of communications, ([email protected]) at (518) 523-1655 ext. 5313 Four More Fantasy Camp Coaches Delivered in Time for the Holidays A Limited Number of Spots Remain to be filled for the Camp LAKE PLACID, N.Y. –This year’s group of Miracle on Ice Fantasy Camp participants have been good boys and girls this year. Santa checked his list, checking it twice, and found that none were naughty and all were nice and left four new coaches under the tree for the April 3-7, 2016, in Lake Placid, N.Y. Santa’s little helpers added 1980 U.S. Olympic Hockey gold medalists Bill Baker, Rob McClanahan, Mark Pavelich and team assistant coach Craig Patrick to the coaching staff that already featured 11 players from the historic team. These four join the staff which also includes Neal Broton, Dave Christian, Mike Eruzione, John Harrington, Steve Janaszak, Mark Johnson, Ken Morrow, Mike Ramsey, Buzz Schneider, Dave Silk and Mark Wells. Following the 1980 Olympic Winter Games in Lake Placid, in which he scored the game-tying goal against Team Sweden, Baker went on to play for the NHL’s Montreal Canadiens, Colorado Rockies, St. Louis Blues and New York Rangers. Today, Baker lives in Brainerd, Minn. where he works as an oral surgeon and maxillofacial specialist. McClanahan scored five goals during the Olympic hockey tournament, including the game winner against Team Finland. That win secured the improbable Olympic gold medal. McClanahan later went on to play in 224 games with the NHL’s Buffalo, Hartford and the New York Rangers.

  • Honors & Awards
    2009-10 WCHA MEN’S YEARBOOK HONORS & AWARDS THE HOBEY BAKER MEMORIAL AWARD HISTORY OF THE AWARD he Hobey Baker Memorial Award is presented annually to the college hockey player who best exemplifies the qualities that Princeton University’s Hobey Baker himself demon- Tstrated as an athlete and as a servant of his country in the early 1900’s. Hobey Baker was a pure sportsman and despised foul play. As a player, he opened up the game with his speed and skills, setting new standards for the way the game was played. Prior to the announcement of the winner, there is an announcement of the Top 10 Finalists and then a Hobey ‘Hat Trick’ of the top three finalists. The first recipient of the award in 1981 – Neal Broten of Minnesota – was from the WCHA. Other Hobey Baker winners from the WCHA have been Tom Kurvers, D, UMD, 1984; Bill Watson, F, UMD, 1985; Tony Hrkac, F, UND, 1987; Robb Stauber, G, UM, 1988; Chris Marinucci, F, UMD, 1994; Brian Bonin, F, UM, 1996; Jordan Leopold, D, UM, 2002; Peter Sejna, F, CC, 2003; Junior Lessard, F, UMD, 2004; Marty Sertich, F, CC, 2005; Matt Carle, D, DU, 2006; and Ryan Duncan, F, UND, 2007. Duncan became the WCHA’s sixth consecutive Hobey winner and 13th overall. THE HOBEY BAKER STORY Hobey Baker had all the attributes of a fabulous athlete: a great physique, fantastic reflexes, instant coordination of hand and eye, iron discipline, blazing courage. But he was different. Hobey Baker was the college athlete supreme: The gentleman sportsman, the amateur in the pure sense, playing the game for the sport, who never fouled, despised publicity and refused professional offers.

    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-19477-8 - Dropping the Torch: Jimmy Carter, the Olympic Boycott, and the Cold War Nicholas Evan Sarantakes Excerpt More information introduction Miracle on Ice Mike Eruzione as the team captain stood on the platform, hand over his heart, with his Olympic gold medal hanging from his neck, as a series of cables attached to the roof of the arena pulled the U.S. flag in the air ahead of those of Finland and the Soviet Union. He was singing words to the “Star Spangled Banner,” leading the crowd in the song, as the music played during the medal ceremony. It is difficult to overstate what he and his nineteen teammates on the U.S. Olympic Hockey Team had done to reach this moment. Just in athletic terms, their victory was astonishing. They had defeated a Soviet team that had won the gold medal of the last four Olympiads. During that run, the goal differential between the Soviets and their opponents had been 175–44. After 1980, the Soviets would not lose to another U.S. team for another eleven years. In fact, they would not lose any game in international play for another five years.1 As impressive as the hockey team’s success was in athletic terms – and it was extraordinary – their gold medal was far more significant to the psyche of the nation. “It was what America needed in troubled times,” an official of the U.S. Amateur Hockey Association explained a few weeks later. Their win pro- duced “a release of emotion and national pride that swept a country searching for something to bolster its pride.”2 Their triumph was also of immense importance to the international Olympic movement.

    Politics on Ice: The United States, the Soviet Union, and a Hockey Game in Lake Placid Donald E. Abelson Abstract: This paper explores the intersection of sport and politics by examining how and to what extent the 1980 US Men’s Hockey Team’s gold medal victory in Lake Placid was catapulted from the hockey arena to the political arena. Keywords: hockey, United States, Soviet Union, Cold War, 1980 Winter Olympics, Carter administration Re´sume´ : Le pre´sent article jette un regard a` l’intersection du sport et de la politique et examine comment la me´daille d’or me´rite´e en 1980 par l’e´quipe de hockey masculine ame´ricaine a` Lake Placid s’est soudainement retrouve´e catapulte´e du milieu du hockey au milieu politique. Mots cle´s : hockey, E´ tats-Unis, Union Sovie´tique, guerre froide, Jeux olym- piques d’hiver 1980, administration Carter Introduction It is known as the ‘‘Miracle on Ice’’ and is widely regarded as the greatest sports moment of the twentieth century. During a snowy afternoon in Lake Placid, New York, on 22 February 1980, the US Men’s Hockey Team, coached by the legendary Herb Brooks, defeated the heavily favoured Soviet Union 4–3, setting the stage for the US gold medal victory against Finland. Considered a long shot for a medal before the XIIIth Winter Games began, the US Hockey Team captured the imagination and harnessed the spirit of an entire nation. In a country whose national pastime is played on baseball diamonds and sandlots and whose sports heroes make their living in Yankee Stadium, Lambeau Field, and above the rim, 6 Canadian Review of American Studies/Revue canadienne d’e´tudes ame´ricaines 40, no.
