Jackson, who had an 11-year career as a
professional hockey player, has became an
integral part of the coaching sta� the past
two seasons by working individually with
each Fighting Sioux player on developing
their skills.
Postseason Excellence
The trademark of the Fighting Sioux during
Hakstol’s � rst � ve seasons has been UND’s
ability to play its best hockey at the most
crucial time of the year – in the playo� s.
During his � rst � ve years, Hakstol has led the
Sioux to an overall postseason record of 25-
12 (.676) that includes a 16-7 WCHA playo�
record and 9-5 NCAA playo� mark. UND’s
16 WCHA playo� wins the last � ve seasons
are more than any other WCHA team and
the Sioux have advanced to the NCAA
postseason nine straight years, tied for the
second-longest current streak in the nation.
Player Development
UND has developed a reputation for doing
an outstanding job in preparing players for
professional hockey careers and careers
beyond hockey. In 2008-09, 17 former
Fighting Sioux played in the National Hockey
League, the program’s most since the 1993-
94 season. Thirteen of those players were
coached by Hakstol during his nine seasons
on the UND sta� .
In the last three seasons alone, seven of
Hakstol’s former UND players have debuted
the NHL the year after completing their
collegiate careers.
Last season, T.J. Oshie and Chris Porter of
the St. Louis Blues and Taylor Chorney of the
HEAD COACH DAVE HAKSTOL
Edmonton Oilers made their NHL debuts
in the year following their departures from
UND.
In 2007-08, Jonathan Toews made the jump
directly to the NHL’s Chicago Blackhawks
after playing two years at UND. He was a
� nalist for the NHL’s Rookie of the Year Award
and in the summer of 2008 was named
the captain of the Blackhawks, becoming
the third-youngest captain in NHL history.
Toews was 20 years and 79 days old when he
assumed the role as Chicago’s captain. Last
year, Toews captained the Blackhawks to the
Western Conference � nals.
Defenseman Brian Lee debuted with Ottawa
in 2007-08 after playing two seasons for
UND. Two players who completed their
Fighting Sioux careers in 2005-06 – Travis
Zajac and Drew Sta� ord – made their NHL
debuts the very next season (2006-07).
In the last six seasons, 31 UND players
have been selected in the NHL Entry Draft,
including six in both the 2007 and 2008 NHL
Drafts, and two more in the 2009 draft.
UND men’s hockey players are also
outstanding students. In 2008-09, 11 Sioux
were named to the WCHA All-Academic
team, including a league-leading � ve who
were honored for the third time. One of
those players, junior defenseman Chay
Genoway, was named to the ESPN the
Magazine Academic All-America third team.
In 2007-08, 10 UND men’s hockey players
earned WCHA All-Academic honors, most
in the league. In 2006-07, 11 Fighting Sioux
were named to the WCHA All-Academic
team, tying for the WCHA league high.
