Dan Lichter-man returns for his second season as head coach at Maine. Lichterman led Maine to a record of 4-27-3 in the 2007-08 season. This season, he looks to turn around the program with his first batch of new recruits. Prior to coaching at the University of Maine, Lichterman was the assistant coach at Minnesota State-Mankato. At Minnesota State, Lichterman worked primarily with the team's defense and designed the defensive systems and penalty kill. In the competitive WCHA, which produced the last eight NCAA Champions, the Mavericks finished sixth in conference and were 11-21-2 in 2007-08. Prior to joining Minnesota State, Lichterman developed a new five-team girl's hockey organization, the Chicago Chill. While in Chicago, he was also the Hockey Director at the Fox Valley Ice Arena and an assistant coach of the Chicago Freeze. The head coach of the Chicago Freeze at the time was former Maine men's assistant hockey coach Guy Perron. Perron then recommended Lichterman for the job at Maine. A Minnesota native, Lichterman was an all-conference selection at St. Louis Park High School. He earned two letters in hockey at the University of St. Thomas and graduated with a degree in journalism in 1995. Lichterman and his wife, Shari, have a son A.J. and a daughter, Emma. |
