Associate head coach Greg May will fill in for Frost at Bemidji State. The fifth-ranked Gophers (16-5-1, 10-5-1 WCHA) sit in third place in the WCHA standings and are coming off a series in which they lost 7-0 and 6-1 to No. 1 Ohio State.
Frost, 50, is in his 17th season with the Gophers and has led the team to four NCAA championships and seven Frozen Four appearances. He has a 488-103-41 record with Minnesota. Frost received a two-year contract extension in October that will run through the 2025-26 season.
May spent the 2021-22 and 2022-23 seasons as men’s hockey coach at Augsburg, leading the Auggies to NCAA tournament appearances in both seasons. He also served as a director of operations for the Gophers men’s hockey team under coach Bob Motzko in 2019-20 and 2020-21. May, a Burnsville native, was the boys hockey coach at Blake for three seasons and Farmington for two.
Max Brosmer's 1-yard plunge with under a minute remaining, his third TD of the game, gave the Gophers the late lead and Koi Perich's acrobatic interception set off a wild celebration at Huntington Bank Stadium.
