North Dakota fires hockey coach Brad Berry after 10 seasons


North Dakota fired hockey coach Brad Berry on Sunday, after the Fighting Hawks failed to make the NCAA tournament for the second time in three seasons.

Berry won a national championship in his first season as coach at his alma mater in 2015-16, when North Dakota beat Quinnipiac 5-1 in the championship game in Tampa, Fla. But the Fighting Hawks have had little postseason success since, with four NCAA tournament appearances and only one victory, coming in 2021. They have not appeared in the Frozen Four since Berry’s first season, when he took over after Dave Hakstol left to coach the NHL’s Philadelphia Flyers.

“Coach Berry has had a tremendous decade run at his alma mater,” UND athletic director Bill Chaves said in a statement. “Not many coaches win a national title and he’s one of a very few. His time will be cherished, but today was the right time to move in a new direction for UND hockey.”

Berry went 227-119-35 with the Fighting Hawks, including 21-15-2 this season, with five NCHC Penrose Cups and one NCHC Frozen Faceoff championship. North Dakota’s season ended Friday with a 4-2 loss to top-seeded Western Michigan in the NCHC semifinals at Xcel Energy Center.

Chaves said Dane Jackson will serve as interim coach while a national search for a replacement will begin immediately.

John Wheeler: Today's date presents an illustration of March weather extremes


FARGO — March 23 is an interesting day in the Fargo-Moorhead weather record book. With records dating to 1881, there are two versions of this particular date that stand out. In 1910, it was 80 degrees. This remains the only 80 degree day in March in the history of Fargo-Moorhead. The spring of 1910 was extraordinarily warm and dry and with the drought lasting well into summer, it was a year of many crop failures.

From the opposite end of things, March 23, 1974, remains the latest day in the year on record with a subzero high temperature. The year 1974 was one of those years in which spring seemed to never show. Following a week of cold days and a fresh 2-inch snowfall on March 22, the next day delivered a low of 11 degrees below zero and a high of 1 below. These are two extreme illustrations of how variable our weather can be in March.

John Wheeler is Chief Meteorologist for WDAY, a position he has had since May of 1985. Wheeler grew up in the South, in Louisiana and Alabama, and cites his family’s move to the Midwest as important to developing his fascination with weather and climate. Wheeler lived in Wisconsin and Iowa as a teenager. He attended Iowa State University and achieved a B.S. degree in Meteorology in 1984. Wheeler worked about a year at WOI-TV in central Iowa before moving to Fargo and WDAY..
