Altho I'm not sure about his location in the list anymore, (I believe he is
still 3rd all time)  The Late John MacInnes (passed away march 6, 1983)
had 555 wins  295 losses and 39 ties for Michigan Tech University from
1956-1982  in 26 years as MTU head coach.
 
The Student ice arena was renemaed  the John J MacInnes Student Ice Arena
a few years back, sticking to the request John Made before he died that they
never take the word "STUDENT" out of the name.  The students voted the extra
fees in the late 60's early 70's to have it built, and John wanted to make
sure they were never forgotten for it.
