BREAKING: Top NCAA Coach Fired After Uncovering of Inappropriate Texts With Student
We have breaking news to bring to you all, as the University of Vermont has just announced that they've fired their head coach.
UVM Terminates Woodcroft
The University of Vermont (UVM) announced the termination of its Men's Ice Hockey Head Coach, Todd Woodcroft. Woodcroft had just completed his second year as UVM's bench boss.
The school revealed in a press release that Woodcroft was relieved of his duties after an investigation conducted by UVM's Office of Affirmative Action and Equal Opportunity uncovered Woodcroft had been having an inappropriate relationship with a UVM student.
Woodcroft was previously an Assistant Coach for the Winnipeg Jets and accepted the Head Coach position at UVM after his departure from Winnipeg.
UVM also announced the promotion of Assistant Coach Steve Wiedler as their Interim Head Coach, effective immediately.
This is incredibly concerning, especially for a program that has been through a rough patch in recent years. They had snagged some bright young recruitments such as Flyers prospect Alex Bump, but this new development may turn potential recruits away from the program.
