ST. CLOUD -- St. Cloud State University will be looking for a new women's hockey coach.

SCSU Athletic Director Heather Weems announced Wednesday SCSU will not be renewing the appointment of head coach Steve Macdonald.

We would like to thank coach Macdonald for his commitment to SCSU, our women's hockey program, and our community as both a head and assistant coach. These decisions are difficult. Ultimately, it is time to move in a new competitive direction in the leadership of our women's hockey program.
