5 WISCONSIN HOCKEY 201617 EXHIBITION: WISCONSIN VS. VICTORIA HEAD COACH TONY GRANATO HEAD COACH TONY GRANATO FIRST SEASON Tony Granato, Wisconsin’s fifth head coach since 1966, begins a new era for Wisconsin. Having come directly from an assistant coach position for the , Granato spent the past 13 NHL seasons as either a head coach or assistant coach, a year after retiring from a 13-year NHL career. The Wisconsin alum was 72-33-17 during his first head coaching stint with the Colorado Avalanche, which included the Northwest Division title in 2002-03 and a runner-up finish in 2003. He owns a 102-78-17 head coaching record with the Avalanche when including his 2008-09 season at the helm of Colorado. The Downers Grove, Illinois, native spent three-plus seasons as an assistant coach with the Avalanche, before five seasons with the (2009-14). During his time in Pittsburgh, the Penguins collected at least 101 points in each of his seasons and won a league-best 36 games during the 48-game campaign in 2012-13. The run included three division titles. Teams Granato served as head or assistant coach posted winning records in 12 of his 13 seasons in the NHL. Granato also served as an assistant coach for the 2014 U.S. Olympic Team, where he coached former Badgers Ryan McDonagh, Joe Pavelski, Derek Stepan and Ryan Suter, among other of the world’s star skaters. The team finished fourth. A four-time 30-goal scorer in the NHL, Granato was originally picked in the sixth round, 120th overall by the New York Rangers in the 1982 draft. In his first season in the NHL, during the 1988–89 campaign, Granato put up 36 goals, which still stand as New York’s record for rookie goal scoring. His 63-point effort that season got him a spot on the 1988–89 NHL All-Rookie Team. Granato skated for the New York Rangers, Los Angeles Kings and San Jose Sharks during his 13-year playing career. He helped the Kings reach the 1993 Final, playing alongside Wayne Gretzky. He tallied six goals and 17 points in 24 playoff games during the run to the Cup Final. That same year, he recorded a career-high with 82 points (37 goals, 45 assists), one season after posting a career-high 39 goals. He went on to play for the San Jose Sharks and played in the 1997 NHL All-Star Game. He won the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy following that season in 1997 for his dedication to hockey. A member of Team USA at the 1988 Olympic Winter Games, Granato tied for second on the team with eight points, including seven assists for the seventh-place Americans. The seven assists are tied for third all-time for Team USA at one single Olympics. His three assists in a game on Feb. 13, 1988 against Austria are tied for second on the all-time list, one off the team single-game record. The 1988 Olympics marked Granato’s sixth appearance at a major international event for Team USA. He played for the Americans at the 1983 and 1984 International Federation World Junior Championships, and skated at the 1985, ’86 and ’87 IIHF World Championships.
