The Tri-City Storm announced yesterday that they have agreed to a long term contract with head coach and general manager Josh Hauge. The deal will keep Hauge in Kearney for the next two and a half seasons. Hauge was promoted to the head coach and general manager positions after former coach and GM Drew Schoneck was fired on December 7^th. Last season, he coached the Fairbanks Ice Dogs of the North American Hockey League to the championship. In six seasons as a head coach in junior hockey, Hauge has never posted a record below .500 or missed the playoffs. The Storm are 3-2 since Hauge took over as the bench boss and are 9-17-0 on the season, last in the USHL’s Western Conference. The Storm host Sioux City tonight at the Viaero Events Center. The puck drops at 7:05.
