The Minnesota Wilderness named Craig Larson assistant coach Sunday, filling the spot vacated by Evan Alexius, who left for an NCAA job.

Larson, a 30-year coaching veteran, spent the past three seasons with Aberdeen as scout and director of player personnel. He previously guided Northern Lakes to its first state tournament in 2021 and was named Section 5A coach of the year.

He’s also a longtime Minnesota Hockey Camps coach and part-owner, and scouts for Youngstown of the USHL.

The Wilderness host Austin in a preseason game Sept. 6 at Northwoods Credit Union Arena. The regular season opens Sept. 12-13 vs. Springfield.
