Ian Ward retires after 20 seasons as GM of UK Hockey
WebmasterPosted 4/2/13
After 20 seasons as the General Manager of the University of Kentucky Hockey club, Ian Ward has decided to retire. Ward took over the GM duties from club founder Mark Shupe during the team's 10th anniversary season in 1993-94. His son, Ryan Ward, played for Kentucky and served as team captain from 1996-98.
Ian Ward continued with the team after his son graduated, transforming the team into a nationally recognized D2 ACHA club team. Perhaps his most famous achievement was to ask actress and UK alum Ashley Judd to pose for a schedule poster for the team in 1998 leading to one of the most iconic Kentucky sports images. The UK Hockey family thanks Ian Ward for his professionalism, dedication, and tireless efforts to improve the University of Kentucky Hockey club over the last two decades.
As Kentucky Hockey enters its 30th year this fall, taking over the reins of the team will be new General Manager Clint Ison and Assistant Managers Tim Hales and Bob Cohen.
