2014-15 NCHC Media Guide 5 @TheNCHC | #NCHCHockey Conference Bio

he National Collegiate Hockey Conference was founded in the summer of 2011 when six institutions bonded togeth- er to form a collection of some of the most notable college hockey programs in the nation. Just a few months later, Tthe conference grew to eight teams and established the foundation for this prestigious group of institutions. Built on the principles of excellence both on and off the ice, the NCHC is committed to fostering an environment of integrity, sportsmanship and competition.

The motivation for forming this new conference came as the landscape of college hockey began to change in the spring of 2011. When Penn State University announced it was starting a college hockey program in the spring of 2011, the Big 10 hockey conference was created. The seismic shift sent ripples throughout the college hockey world and left many institutions searching for stability. On July 13, 2011, the leaders from six schools, Colorado College, the University of Denver, Miami University, the University of Minnesota Duluth, the University of Nebraska Omaha and the University of North Dakota announced the decision to start their own conference beginning in the 2013-14 academic year. On Sept. 22, 2011, St. Cloud State University and Western Michigan University accepted invitations and the NCHC grew to its current mem- bership of eight teams.

The infrastructure of the conference began to materialize in August 2011, as Colorado Springs, the birthplace of the NCAA Hockey Championships, was selected as the home of the league’s headquarters. Jim Scherr, the former CEO of the U.S. Olympic Committee, was named the conference’s first commissioner in January of 2012.

The inaugural commissioner quickly began working to build his inaugural staff, finding a home for the NCHC Tournament and securing a national television contract. In January 2012, the NCHC and CBS Sports Network inked a multi-year agreement to nationally-televise several conference games per season, including the NCHC Tournament semifinals and championship games. In June 2012, the NCHC announced that Target Center in Minneapolis, Minn. would be the home of the conference championship.

In July 2013, Scherr left the NCHC but the conference didn’t miss a beat, as Josh Fenton, former senior associate athletic director at Miami University, was named the conference’s second commissioner. Fenton played an integral role in the formation of the new conference, making a seamless transition to his new role.

Under Fenton’s guidance, the NCHC successfully launched its official website, NCHCHockey.com, in August 2013, and a mobile app, becoming the first collegiate hockey conference to do so.The conference also held its first Media Day at Target Center on Sept. 19, 2013. The NCHC officially dropped the puck on Oct. 18, 2013 as Miami hosted North Dakota and Colorado College hosted Minnesota Duluth in the first ever conference games, both of which were nationally televised on CBS Sports Network.

In November of 2013, with the help of fan suggestions and a fan vote, the NCHC’s championship was renamed the NCHC Frozen Faceoff. The conference’s first season saw intense competition on the ice and great passion and enthusiasm in the stands, as the regular-season title came down to the final weekend. St. Cloud State became the inaugural NCHC regular-season champions on the final night, capturing the Julie and Spencer Penrose Memorial Cup – the NCHC’s regular-season trophy. Denver would then go on to claim the inaugural NCHC Frozen Faceoff title, defeating Miami in the championship game on March 22, 2014. The NCHC saw three members make the 2014 NCAA Tournament in its first season, led by North Dakota, which reached the Frozen Four.

The members of the NCHC are certainly no stranger to the NCAAs, however. This collection of hockey programs has combined to win four NCAA Championships and made 18 Frozen Four appearances since 2000, including North Dakota in 2014. In the history of college hockey, NCHC schools have combined to win 17 NCAA hockey titles. Only three schools have won more than six NCAA hockey titles and two of them (Denver and North Dakota each with seven) reside in the NCHC. Minnesota Duluth is the conference’s most recent NCAA champion, winning the title in 2011. In 2013, St. Cloud State advanced to its first Frozen Four in school history while Husky forward Drew LeBlanc won the 2013 Hobey Baker Memorial Award. Fellow Husky Nic Dowd was a Hobey Hat Trick Finalist in 2014, while five NCHC student-athletes gar- nered AHCA All-American honors, including Dowd, in the conference’s first season.

The geographic diversity of the NCHC features some of the most beautiful terrain in the United States and spans three times zones (Eastern, Central and Mountain). The majestic Rocky Mountains of Colorado provide the backdrop to North Dakota’s Red River Valley and America’s heartland from Nebraska to Ohio. From the countless lakes of Minnesota to the shores of Lake Michigan, the NCHC is home to some of the most breath-taking scenery in the country.

With a strong foundation of institutions rich in tradition and excellence, the National Collegiate Hockey Conference is poised to solidify itself as the premier college hockey conference for years to come.

Mark Rudolph Officiating Achievement Award

n August 26, 2014, the NCHC announced the creation of the Mark Rudolph Officiating Achieve- Oment Award. The award will be handed out annually and presented to a member of the NCHC officiating staff, be it a referee, linesman or supervisor, who through his actions, commitment, dedication, leadership and professionalism, has achieved a distinguished accomplishment that has significantly enhanced the NCHC and its officiating program both on and off the ice.

The NCHC’s Officiating Achievement Award has been named in honor of Mark Rudolph, a long-time official and distinguished administrator who resides in Colorado Springs, Colo. In 1982, Rudolph Mark Rudolph relocated from Buffalo, N.Y. to Colorado Springs for an employment opportunity that would change the complexion of American officiating forever. He pioneered the development of USA Hockey’s National Officiating Program – a program that served over 13,000 amateur officials during his 12 years of service.

Rudolph established the elite USA Hockey summer officiating camps, which accelerated the officiating careers of many, while developing and overseeing the program’s relationships with both the National Hockey League (NHL) and the In- ternational Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF). He also created and implemented USA Hockey’s District Officiating Seminars, which placed the elite summer camp experience into backyards across the country so more officials could benefit from that “camp experience.”

In addition, Rudolph authored the original USA Hockey officiating manuals, which provided thousands of American officials with the basic fundamentals of officiating. The USA Hockey Officiating Program continues to benefit from the foundation that Rudolph built so many years ago.

Rudolph, who officiated NCAA Division I collegiate hockey for over 10 seasons, also displayed his on-ice officiating talents in the International Hockey League (IHL), the American Hockey League (AHL) and the Atlantic Coast Hockey League (currently ECHL). Rudolph served as a Supervisor of Officials for the NHL from 1991-1997 and for the IIHF from 1988-97, as well.

Award Criteria: 1) The award recipient must be any individual on the officiating program staff with the NCHC for the previous season; and 2) The award recipient shall be an individual who, through dedicated effort and service, on and off the ice, has achieved a distinguished accomplishment during the previous NCHC season, and who by his actions has significantly enhanced the NCHC and its officiating program.
