Following a historic season in which he led Dartmouth to its first ECAC Hockey tournament title, Reid Cashman has been named USCHO’s 2025-26 Coach of the Year.

In his fifth season behind the bench, Cashman guided Dartmouth to a program-record 23 wins while also securing the school’s first NCAA Tournament appearance since 1980. The Big Green finished sixth in the NPI rankings.

A native of Red Wing, Minn., Cashman was also named ECAC Coach of the Year for the second time in three seasons. He and his staff earned Ivy League Coaching Staff of the Year honors for the second consecutive year.

Mike Hastings of Wisconsin was the runner up for the USCHO Coach of the Year Award.
