OUR COMMISSIONER

The Central Collegiate Hockey Association (CCHA), which will begin play in the 2021-22 season, named Don Lucia as Commissioner on June 17, 2020. One of the most successful coaches in college hockey history, Lucia's head coaching tenure included stints at Alaska Fairbanks, Colorado College, and Minnesota where he was the Golden Gophers' winningest coach in program history. At the helm of the Golden Gophers bench, Lucia won two national championships (2002 and 2003) while appearing in five NCAA Frozen Four tournaments. He also led

his CC Tigers to an NCAA runner-up finish in 1996 and an appearance in the 1997 NCAA Frozen Four semifinals.
