SUPERIOR, Wis.

–Yellowjacket Athletics and the University of Wisconsin-Superior announced that Bre Simon has been named the new head coach of the Yellowjacket women's hockey program following a national search.

Simon becomes the sixth head coach in the program's history, dating back to 1998. She replaces Dan Laughlin, who retired in March after 21 years as head coach and 23 years with the program.

“I am honored to be named the new head coach of University of Wisconsin-Superior. I am very excited and eager to join UWS,” said Simon. “I would like to thank Nick Bursik, the search committee and panelists for this opportunity.

“I'm excited to move closer to home and join the UWS family. I can't wait to see what this talented group of young women can achieve.”

Simon comes to the Yellowjackets after a two-year stint as an assistant coach at NCAA Division III Elmira College. While there, Simon helped the Soaring Eagles to the New England Hockey Conference (NEHC) championship game in 2023. Last season, Elmira finished as a national runner-up, falling to UW-River Falls in the NCAA Division III Women's Hockey Championship. Elmira had a record of 44-14-1 in her two seasons.

Prior to her time at Elmira, Simon spent two years, including one year as co-head coach, of the girls hockey program at hockey powerhouse Gentry Academy in Minnesota. In her two years, Simon helped Gentry to a 41-11-0 record and two appearances in the Minnesota State High School Hockey Tournament, including one berth in the state championship game.

“We are pleased to welcome Coach Simon to UW-Superior and Yellowjacket Athletics. Her dedication to player development and focus on the student-athlete experience was evident throughout the search process,” said Nick Bursik, director of athletics at UW-Superior . “We look forward to her immediate impact and continuing the traditions of Yellowjacket Hockey.”

Simon was a decorated college player during her time at Hamline University. She is Hamline's all-time leader in goals (92), assists (93) and points (185). Her 185 points are more than double that of any other player in program history. She was a three-time CCM/AHCA West First Team All-American and won the 2019 Laura Hurd Award, given to the top player in NCAA Division III women's hockey.

A native of Elk River, Minnesota, Simon graduated from Hamline in 2020 with a Bachelor of Science degree in public health.

Her first day at UW-Superior is Tuesday, May 7, and an introductory press conference for Simon will be held at noon in the Marcovich Wellness Center on the UW-Superior campus.
