farce poobah Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 http://www.collegehockeynews.com/news/2014/11/11_michigan_legend_renfrew_passes.php He coached the UND Fighting Sioux for one season, taking over from the legendary Fido Purpur. I knew he played at Michigan, and the article does a nice job of filling in gaps in my knowledge. His links to Red Berenson and John MacInnes in particular were something I didn't know. Mr Renfrew, thank you for your contributions to UND hockey, and college hockey in the USA. Condolences to your family, and may you rest in peace.

MafiaMan Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Thanks for posting that, farce - very interesting read on the life of Al Renfrew. His UND tenure may have been a lot longer had Vic Heyliger not stepped down as the coach at Michigan in 1957. Rest in peace, coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MafiaMan Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Additionally, I hope Coach Renfrew is mentioned in Friday's pre-game announcements...would be a nice gesture to a former Sioux head coach... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
