Michigan hockey coach Mel Pearson remains at the helm of the program despite his contract expiring at midnight, The Maize and Blue Review has learned.
According to a U-M spokesman, Pearson and the athletic department are working on an extension.
"Mel is our head coach," a spokesman confirmed with TMBR. "We will broadly communicate any changes to his contract when that is finalized."
The hockey program is currently under investigation for COVID deception and a toxic work environment. Results of that investigation have yet to be released.
The Wolverines finished the year with a 3-2 overtime loss to Denver in the Frozen Four.
