Nick Dreyer joins the program as the first Head Coach of the newly rebranded Provo Predators.
In Dreyer's first season with the Ogden Mustangs (2020-21), he led an impressive Penalty Kill unit (84.1% | 9th overall) in the USPHL Premier and displayed consistency with his special teams' group in his second season (83.8% | 1st in Mountain Division). His defensive core has seen the most Div. III from the program in the past two seasons.
Dreyer was a staple in the Park City Ice Miners program as the Head Coach of the U16 Boys team (2017-2020). During his tenure with the Ice Miners, his team was crowned as the Utah State Champions for three consecutive seasons. In 2017, his team lost the National Championship game and finished second at the Tier II level. Dreyer has also served as Head Coach of the Farmington High School Hockey Program since its inception in 2018-19. In the few seasons of the program's history, Dreyer has led the team to a 3rd-place finish in 2019 and 2nd-place in 2020.
Dreyer is a native of Waterloo, Illinois, and grew up in the greater St. Louis area. His coaching career began in 2013 at his former high school (Waterloo-Freeburg) where he was named the Head Coach and served until 2017. During the 2017 season, Dreyer led Waterloo-Freeburg to a State Championship appearance and finished in 2nd place.
Coach Dreyer's playing career speaks for itself as he ranks second all-time in scoring in McKendree University Men's Hockey program history (ACHA | Div. I).
