From USCHO:
There have been a couple of causes to celebrate at RIT over the past week or so. Associate head coach Brian Hills was named the 2011 winner of the American College Hockey Coaches Terry Flanagan Award, which recognizes an assistant coach’s career body of work. Hills has been at RIT for six seasons. Before that he was a head coach at Division III Geneseo, and prior to that an assistant at Bowling Green, his alma mater.
“Brian is a very deserving recipient of this prestigious award,” said Wilson, the 2010 ACHA coach of the year, in a statement. “His hard work and commitment to RIT and our program is evident in our team’s success. Brian is a proven winner and would be an excellent Division I head coach.”
One of the players Hills recruited to RIT, defenseman Chris Tanev, became the first RIT player to play in an NHL game last week. Tanev was called up by Vancouver from Manitoba of the AHL and has played the last four games for the Canucks, picking up his first point on Jan. 24 in a game against Dallas.
Congrats, Brian!!! Well deserved!!!
