On Sunday night, the ACHA Men's Division 2 "X" account published the "Coach of the Year" winners in each division of the league. The west division featured two co-winners, with one of them being Weber State's own head coach, Yosh Ryujin, and the other being Montana State's head coach. In correlations to this year's award, Ryujin led his Wildcat squad to a 22-12-2 season, placing second in the Mountain West standings right behind the Montana State Bobcats.
Ryujin has been with the hockey program and university for some years now, as he also attended classes and played for the team when he was attending Weber State University. This season, himself, along with the rest of the guys on the team want to bring home that National Championship to Ogden and the university, in hopes to gain more attraction towards the beautiful game of hockey in the state of Utah and to prove that this Wildcat team has always had a chip on their shoulders and is always ready compete with anyone in the ACHA. Ryujin has done a phenomenal job this season in proving just that.
Here is the article written by the ACHA on Ryujin's selection:
