Mark Wick begins his 14th season behind the bench for the Saints in 2017-18.
 
Wick, who is the program’s winningest coach with 175 wins in 13 seasons, is a two-time NCHA Coach of the Year being named in 2008-09 and then again in 2011-12. The Saints have advanced past the NCHA quarterfinals 10 of the last 11 seasons and have made the finals in 2007 and 2014. In 2009, Wick guided CSS to its second NCAA Tournament appearance and first since the 1982 season.
 
During the 2008-09 season, the Saints peaked at the No. 2 spot in the weekly U.S. College Hockey Online Division-III poll, holding the spot for three straight weeks starting January 19th. In 2009-10, the Saints were ranked in the top 10 of the USCHO poll for 15 straight weeks, peaking at No. 4. The Saints were back in the polls in 2015-16 being in the top 15 for five straight weeks, beginning on January 23rd.
 
Wick was hired just two days before the first practice of the 2004-05 season, but still earned honorable results in the first year. Since then, Wick has brought the program back to a former glory of national recognition last seen in the 1970s.
 
Wick turned the program around quickly in 2005-06 as the Saints had their first winning season in twenty years. The record caught more than a few people by surprise, but not many within the Saints hockey community because Wick has had success in every stop throughout his career.
 
A Hermantown native, the 1985 graduate of St. Scholastica transferred from Gustavus Adolphus College prior to his junior year. He was the team’s second leading scorer his senior year with 41 points and was a scholar-athlete both years at Scholastica. After graduating, he earned a Master of Education degree from Bowling Green State University in 1989.
 
Coach Wick’s leadership qualities were evident during a brief stint at Augsburg College where he was the assistant in the 1988-89 season then served as a co-head coach and head coach from 1990-96. He helped lead the Auggies to MIAC prominence during that time, recording a 36-34-3 overall record.
 
Following his time at Augsburg, Wick became an assistant coach at UW-Superior from 1996-2000. While at Superior he helped lead the Yellowjackets to three NCAA Frozen Four appearances (1997, 1999, 2000) and two NCHA playoff championships (1997, 2000).
 
He is married to Linda and has three children - Anders, Carly, and Jonathon.
