The State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC) is
proud to announce the recipient of Men's Ice Hockey Coach of the Year
for the 2017-2018 season. This year, Fredonia head coach Jeff Meredith (who is an alumnus of Brockport) has been voted to receive this honor.
In his 30th season as head coach for the Blue Devils, Meredith led
his squad to an overall record of 13-11-4, and a fifth place SUNYAC
seeding entering playoffs with a conference record of 7-8-1. The team
had a triumphant SUNYAC playoff run, upsetting No. 5 seeded Plattsburgh
in the Quarterfinals, 4-3, then upsetting No. 1 seeded Oswego in the
semifinals, 3-1, to advance to the SUNYAC championship game.
Meredith entered the 2017-18 season ranked 45th on the all-time NCAA
wins list, and earned his 400th career victory in a 7-4 win over
visiting Plattsburgh on December 2. This marks Meredith's third SUNYAC
Coach of the Year honor.
