Coach honored

Leo Golembiewski, head coach of the Arizona Icecats, was named by his alma mater as of one the first eight inductees into the Benedictine University Athletic Hall of Fame. Golembiewski, a 1971 graduate of the Lisle, Illinios campus, was a star goaltender for the Eagles ice hockey team during his four year stay at the school - which at that time was St. Procopius College. While establishing five playing records, he capped his senior year by being named to the Midwest Intercollegiate Hockey League's all-star team for the fourth straight year and leading his team to the MIHL championship. Golembiewski has posted over 300 wins as the head coach of the University of Arizona Icecats including the national championship in 1985. This season will mark Golembiewski's 18th in Tucson.
