CHN Staff Report
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Riding a perfect 10-0 start to the season, Frank Serratore now has a new five-year contract.
Air Force and Serratore have agreed on the new deal, taking him through the 2012-13 season. Details of the contract are still being worked out and are going through the Academy process.
Serratore has led the Falcons to back-to-back Atlantic Hockey Association championships and NCAA berths. Two years ago, Air Force nearly defeated Minnesota in the first round of the NCAAs. Last season, the Falcons took Miami to overtime before falling.
Serratore is currently in his 12th season at Air Force with a 180-201-30 record. He is the winningest coach in Air Force hockey history, leading Air Force to a 19-16-5 record in 2006-07 and a 21-12-6 mark last season. The 21 wins are the most Division I wins in school history. This season, he has led the Falcons to a perfect 10-0 record and a national ranking of No. 12 in both polls, the highest ever in school history.
Air Force, 8-0 and in first place in the AHA, hosts Sacred Heart Friday-Saturday, Nov. 21-22, at the Cadet Ice Arena.
