Marquette Rangers News Release


The Marquette Rangers have selected Randy Enders to serve as Assistant Coach for the 2006/07 season.

Enders enjoyed a stellar Junior and NCAA playing career. As a defenseman with the Sioux City Musketeers for three seasons, Enders served as team Captain and was named Defensive Player of the Week by the United States Hockey League. His NCAA career included one season for the University of Alaska - Anchorage and three seasons with the University of Wisconsin - Stevens Point. As team Captain his senior year, Enders was named All-NCHA-Honorable Mention and was selected All-WICA-First Team. His team also voted him "Classiest Player," "Mr. Consistent" and "Hardest Worker". His University of Wisconsin - Stevens Point team won the NCHA regular season League Championship his sophomore year.

Enders began his coaching career as an Instructor at the Musketeers Hockey School in Sioux City, Iowa, and served as Head Instructor at the Winners Edge Development camp in Spooner, Wisconsin. In 2003 Enders accepted a teaching position with the Sheboygan (Wisconsin) School District and became the Red Raiders Assistant Ice Hockey Coach in 2004 where he was responsible for defenseman skill development, designing and implementing practice programs, and developing game strategies.

"I had the privilege of coaching Randy when he was a player. His work ethic, attention to detail along with practice and game preparation, is second to none. Randy's accomplishments as a player and a coach are solid, but his greatest asset is his ability to teach our players how to best prepare to get the most out of their talent," said Head Coach Leigh Mendelson. "The combination of being a teacher and hockey player is a unique combination, and we expect him to help our players excel both on and off the ice. We are excited to have retained a consummate professional in Randy Enders."

Enders will assist Mendelson in player evaluations during the team's final Invitational Camp beginning Thursday, July 6, at the Berry Events Center. The camp will host approximately 60 players who will compete for the 23 roster spots available on the Rangers. The camp continues through Sunday, July 9 and is free to the public. Game schedules are available on the team website at www.marquetterangers.com.
