Ohio State Women's Ice Hockey (2022, 2026 WCHA Champions, 2022, 2024 National Champions)

Tough loss, but Wiscy was always the odds on favorite this year. They lose all their stars though while we have most coming back including all our Olympians which includes the top overall scorer (Svensson) and top goal scorer (Dunne). We should be the machine next year that Wiscy has been the last two.
It would sit easier but for the way last year’s championship game ended in regulation.

Make the Case: Nadine Muzerall is the best Ohio State coach so far this century

Muzerall has led Ohio State women’s hockey to the Frozen Four each of the last six seasons.

Ohio State has employed a lot of great coaches so far this century.

It all started with Jim Tressel leading the football team to an undefeated season and national title in 2002. A little more than a decade later Urban Meyer and the Buckeyes won the first-ever College Football Playoff.

Now Ryan Day is in charge of the program. Day already has earned a national championship and with the way he has built the program it looks like he could win a couple more before he leaves Columbus.

On the basketball court, Thad Matta built Ohio State into one of the best programs in the country, going to the Final Four twice, and making the title game in 2007.

Wrestling has Tom Ryan, who won a national title in 2015. Ty Tucker is in charge of the tennis program, posting over 700 wins in 26 seasons as coach, winning the Big Ten Coach of the Year award 18 times.

There are a number of other coaches who have posted some incredible accomplishments during their time in charge of Buckeye squads.

For as great as all those coaches mentioned have been at Ohio State, they all take a back seat to women’s ice hockey coach Nadine Muzerall.

A BLUE JACKET JOINS THE BUCKEYES. Ohio State women’s hockey added a 19-year NHL veteran to its coaching staff on Thursday.

Jack Johnson, who played for the Columbus Blue Jackets from 2012-18 and again for his final NHL season in 2024-25, is joining Nadine Muzerall’s program as associate head coach.

“We're really excited to have a new member join our family here at Ohio State,” Muzerall said in a news release. “To bring in Jack Johnson is going to continue to make our program better, both on the ice and really contribute to recruiting. When we talk about Ohio State, we talk about family and how we're all united. I think it's very important that he exemplifies that. He's going to bring that to our program and I think our recruits are going to see that and I know our girls are going to feel that.”



Johnson, who played in 1,228 career NHL games and won a Stanley Cup with the Colorado Avalanche in 2022, is crossing rivalry lines to join the Buckeyes, as he played collegiately for Michigan from 2005-07 before starting his NHL career.

“It's such a privilege and honor to be involved with the best women's college hockey program in the country,” Johnson said. “I can't wait for the season to start and to continue Ohio State's pursuit of national championships.”
