Ohio State Names Mark Strobel As Assistant Coach

Ohio State head coach Steve Rohlik has named Mark Strobel as the team's new associate head coach replacing outgoing associate head coach Brett Larson, who left to take a similar position at Minnesota Duluth.

Strobel is a Wisconsin alum, captaining the Badgers in his senior season of 1994-95 before a brief minor league pro career.

Strobel has a decent coaching resume, working as a volunteer assistant coach at Colorado College for one season, before spending one season as a USHL assistant coach, and then two-year stops at both Minnesota Duluth and Nebraska-Omaha as an assistant coach. Strobel has not coached at the collegiate level since 2004, however. His most recent college hockey experience came as a rinkside reporter for the Big Ten Network.
