Brian Idalski
- Title:
- Head Coach
Head coach Brian Idalski completed his third season at the helm of St. Cloud State Women’s Hockey in 2024-25. The 2022-23 USCHO National Coach of the Year and co-WCHA Coach of the Year owns a career collegiate coaching record of 327-227-59 (.582) across 18 seasons as a head coach. A legendary figure in the history of women’s collegiate hockey, Idalski has earned three conference Coach of the Year honors while guiding his teams to five NCAA Tournament appearances, an NCAA Tournament Final berth, four conference tournament championships, seven conference tournament finals and three regular-season conference championships.
Idalski has recruited and coached 10 Olympians, 35 National Team members from nine different countries, nine All-Americans, a Patty Kazmaier Finalist, four Patty Kazmaier Top 10 Finalists, two NCAA Great Eight Award winners, five WCHA Outstanding Student-Athletes of the Year, one Conference Player of the Year, one Conference Rookie of the Year and 42 All-Conference selections.
In addition to setting a standard for excellence on the ice, Idalski’s programs have enjoyed incredible success in the classroom. Under his supervision 12 student-athletes have been named Academic All-Americans, 73 have earned WCHA Scholar Athlete recognition and a whopping 140 have been named to the WCHA All-Academic team.
Across his 16 seasons as a head coach, Idalski owns a conference record of 193-149-39 with a career points percentage of 55.9%. He earned three NCHA Regular Season Championships with UW-Stevens Point and has orchestrated top-half conference finishes in seven of his 11 seasons in the rugged WCHA.
Idalski-led programs have experienced incredible success in the postseason, going 25-18 at the conference tournament and 4-5 in NCAA Tournament play for a combined 29-23 (.558) playoff record. Leading UW-Stevens Point to the 2004 NCAA DIII Tournament Final in his first trip to the “Big Dance,” Idalski has guided his teams to five NCAA Tournament appearances including a Third Place finish in 2006. He captured four NCHA Tournament Championships in five seasons prior to joining North Dakota, then won seven WCHA Quarterfinal series and made two WCHA Championship appearances during his 10 years in Grand Forks.
In his first season as head coach of Huskies Women’s Hockey, Idalski was named the USCHO National Coach of the Year and Co-WCHA Coach of the Year following his program's historic turnaround and rise to national prominence.
Under Idalski's guidance the Huskies tied a program record with 18 wins, going 18-18-1 with an 11-16-1 mark in WCHA play – establishing a new program record with 36 conference points to finish fifth, standing as the Huskies' best conference finish since 2015-16 and marking just the second time the program has earned a top-five conference finish in the last 13 years. The club's 18 wins were the most since SCSU won 18 games in 2007-08 while their 11 conference wins stand as the third-most in program history, one shy of their total from the past three seasons combined and most since 2009-10. St. Cloud State doubled their win total from a season ago and added a 42.9% points percentage, their best mark since 2009-10 – establishing a program record for the three-point era.
Idalski led St. Cloud State back into national prominence as the Huskies entered both the USCHO and USA Today National Polls in the first week of December, placing the team in the National rankings for the first time since 2009 and 2008 respectively. After debuting at No. 14 in both polls, SCSU proceeded to remain ranked in 10 of the next 11 weeks to close the year, closing the season ranked for the first time in program history at No. 12 by the USCHO and No. 13 by USA Today. Prior to 2022-23, SCSU had only appeared in the USA Today rankings five times while appearing in just six USCHO polls – this season, the Huskies were ranked 12 and 11 times respectively.
For the first time in 13 years, the Huskies defeated or earned a point from all seven conference opponents – taking down then-No. 1 Minnesota, shutting out then-No. 8 and eventual NCAA Champion Wisconsin in front of a packed Kohl Center and taking both then-No. 1 Ohio State and then-No. 7 Minnesota Duluth to overtime. In defeating 2022-23 National Champion Wisconsin during the regular season, the Huskies recorded a win over the eventual NCAA champion for the first time since 2009-10 (Minnesota Duluth) and marked just the fifth occurrence (2005-06, Wisconsin; 2001-02, Minnesota Duluth & 2000-01, Minnesota Duluth) in the program's history.
Huskies Hockey established a new culture of high-compete 200-foot hockey under Idalski, beginning in the defensive zone. SCSU led the NCAA and set a new program record with 576 blocked shots while holding opponents to 2.59 goals – their second-best mark ever – and 32.24 shots per game – their best mark since 2015-16. St. Cloud State's goaltenders anchored the rejuvenated defense, recording the program's third-best team save percentage at .920 and second-best goals against average of 2.58. The Huskies posted a program-record six shutouts in 2022-23, punctuating their stingy defensive work.
In the offensive zone, St. Cloud State scored 87 goals – eclipsing 66 for the first time since 2009-10 and standing as the program's most since that same season. The Huskies netted 64 even-strength goals, good for second-most all-time, on a 10.43% shooting percentage that becomes the program's third best mark and highest since 2000-01. For the first time since 2009-10, four Huskies recorded 20-point seasons while two defenders provided double-digit scoring seasons for the first time since 2017-18.
Special teams took a major step forward under Idalski as the Huskies power play delivered a 20.41% campaign while the penalty kill improved from a 77.27% mark a season ago to 85.50% in 2022-23. Both marks stand fourth-best in program history while the club's 20 power play goals were the most since 2009-10.
Nine Huskies set or matched career-high point totals in 2022-23 while Dayle Ross set a program record with 104 blocks, Jenniina Nylund tied the program's record with five game-winning goals and Jojo Chobak broke the single-season mark with five shutouts. Klára Hymlárová scored 17 goals – eighth-most in Huskies history – and closed the regular season as the NCAA's power play goal leader with eight. Sophomore defenders Dayle Ross and Grace Wolfe took massive steps forward under Idalski's guidance, providing 15 and 18 points respectively while ranking No. 1 and No. 3 all-time in single-season blocks with 104 and 83 respectively. The SCSU goaltending duo of Sanni Ahola and Jojo Chobak thrived in a tandem, each recording save percentages of .923 with GAA marks of 2.50 and 2.46 to help anchor the turnaround.
Brian Idalski was named the sixth head coach in the history of St. Cloud State Women’s Hockey on May 19, 2022.
Idalski was chosen to serve as the Head Women’s Hockey Coach for China’s National Team at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics. His team earned two wins in pool play and operated as the top penalty kill in the Olympics at 90.0% with nine kills on 10 chances. Under his guidance, goaltender Jiaying Zhou posted the tournament’s best save percentage at .955 with 85 stops on 89 shots.
Prior to joining St. Cloud State, Idalski spent three seasons as the head coach of the Shenzhen KRS Vanke Rays in the Zhenskaya Hockey League. He guided the Rays to a 77-17 record, two regular season championships and the 2020 ZhHL Cup – becoming the first non-Russian team to win the league’s championship. Idalski was named ZhHL Coach of the Year in 2020 and 2022 along with being selected to coach in the 2019-20 ZhHL All-Star Game.
Idalski spent the 2018-19 season as the Director of Hockey Activities at Culver Academy in Culver, Indiana, leading the program to its first USAH Tier-I Nationals appearance.
No stranger to the WCHA, Idalski spent 10 seasons as the head coach of North Dakota Women’s Hockey – building the program into a perennial national power with a rich tradition of success. Idalski produced a 169-154-39 (.521) record in Grand Forks with a 124-124-32 mark in conference play, reaching 50 points four times in addition two NCAA Tournament appearances, two WCHA Tournament Finals and seven WCHA Quarterfinal Series wins. North Dakota finished .500 or better in each of their final seven seasons, going 144-89-25 (.607) overall with a 104-69-23 (59.0% points percentage) across that span.
Idalski recruited and coached six All-Americans, five WCHA Outstanding Student-Athletes of the Year, one WCHA Rookie of the Year and 25 All-WCHA selections during his tenure at North Dakota. Jocelyne and Monique Lamoureux, Michelle Karvinen and Shelby Amsley-Benzie earned All-American honors under Idalski’s direction while Karvinen was named WCHA Rookie of the Year in 2011-12. Amsley-Benzie developed into one of the greatest goaltenders in collegiate hockey during her four years with Idalski, earning All-American honors in addition to being named a Patty Kazmaier Top 10 Finalist. Idalski and his staff’s successful recruitment of the Lamoureux sisters was instrumental in the program’s rapid turnaround as Jocelyne and Monique both earned two All-American nods while the former led the WCHA in scoring as a junior.
North Dakota enjoyed five 20-win seasons under Idalski, finishing below .500 just three times in his tenure with seven winning campaigns. His club earned a reputation for accountability on and off the ice, opportunistic offense and a rugged defense – recording 51 shutouts in his tenure while allowing less than 25 shots on goal per game in four of their final five seasons. All-WCHA forwards Michelle Karvinen, Josefine Jakobsen, Amy Menke and Becca Kohler flourished alongside the All-Americans Jocelyne and Monique Lamoureux. On the defensive end, Idalski helped develop Halli Krzyzaniak into a three-time All-WCHA selection and two-year captain before she became the program’s first-ever NWHL draft pick – taken in the fifth round of the 2016 Draft, one spot ahead of Menke.
In addition to his time on the bench in Grand Forks, Idalski served as the Vice President of the American Women’s Hockey Coaches Association and as the Governor of the American Hockey Coaches Association.
Idalski spent the 2006-07 season as an assistant coach on the St. Cloud State bench under first-year head coach Jeff Giesen – a season in which the Huskies went 12-18-7, one of only 11 campaigns with double-digit wins in the program’s 25-year history. He led the defenders, coordinated advance scouting and oversaw the Huskies’ recruiting efforts. His recruiting class was headlined by legendary SCSU goaltender Ashley Nixon, who graduated second all-time in saves, fourth in save percentage and fifth in goals against.
Earning his first head coaching role in 2001-02 with UW-Stevens Point Women’s Hockey, Idalski quickly established himself as a rising star by going 108-21-11 (.881) in five seasons leading the Pointers. He was named NCHA Coach of the Year in 2002 and 2005 while being named a Finalist for the AHCA National Coach of the Year award four times, guiding UW-Stevens Point to four NCHA Tournament Championships and three NCHA Regular Season Championships. The Pointers made three NCAA Tournament appearances under Idalski, appearing in the 2004 NCAA DIII National Championship game and taking Third at the 2006 NCAA DIII Tournament. Idalski oversaw four 20-win seasons at Stevens Point and went 58-9-6 for a 83.6% points percentage in conference play, guiding his club to the NCHA’s first-ever undefeated regular season in 2004-05. Three Pointers earned All-American honors under Idalski and 17 added All-NCHA accolades.
First joining the collegiate coaching ranks as an assistant with UW-Stevens Point Men’s Hockey in 2000-01, Idalski broke into the coaching world in 1999-00 as an assistant on the Columbus Cottonmouths’ bench in the Central Hockey League.
Idalski enjoyed a long playing career as a defenseman, spending two seasons with Columbus in the CHL and two with the Madison Monsters in the United Hockey League. The gritty blueliner helped Columbus earn the 1998 CHL Regular Season and Postseason Championships as a rookie. He played his collegiate hockey at UW-Stevens Point, appearing in 97 games and leading the Pointers to a pair of NCAA Tournament Finals including the program’s 1993 NCAA DIII National Championship.
A native of Warren, Michigan, Brian and his wife Nicole have four sons – Beau, Jason, David and Mitchel.
Idalski has recruited and coached 10 Olympians, 35 National Team members from nine different countries, nine All-Americans, a Patty Kazmaier Finalist, four Patty Kazmaier Top 10 Finalists, two NCAA Great Eight Award winners, five WCHA Outstanding Student-Athletes of the Year, one Conference Player of the Year, one Conference Rookie of the Year and 42 All-Conference selections.
