The University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO) flag will be lowered on Tuesday, Feb. 21, in memory of Omaha Hockey Assistant Coach Paul Jerrard, who recently passed away at the age of 57. The thoughts and condolences of the university community are with Paul's loved ones during this time.

Jerrard was an integral part of Omaha Hockey since May of 2018 when he joined the Mavericks. A veteran and titan of the hockey community, Jerrard spent 23 years behind the bench as an assistant coach in the National Hockey League, American Hockey League and National Collegiate Athletic Association. His coaching career began exactly where his playing career did. Jerrard joined his Alma Mater, Laker Superior State, for four of the first five seasons of his coaching profession. Before joining the Mavericks, he spent two seasons with the Calgary Flames from 2016-2018. Among his other NHL campaigns, Jerrard spent two years with the Dallas Stars and one season with the Colorado Avalanche.
