BOSTON — After months of negotiations, UMass Lowell hockey coach Norm Bazin has signed a contract extension.

Bazin confirmed the new deal Tuesday at the Hockey East Media Day at the TD Garden. The UML graduate has done a terrific job of building the River Hawks into a national power during his six seasons.

Under Bazin, the River Hawks have compiled a 151-68-21 record. He has guided UML to five consecutive Hockey East championship game appearances, five NCAA Tournament berths, three Hockey East tournament championships and two league regular-season titles.

Bazin said the extension is for five seasons and ends in the 2021-22 season. Terms of the contract were not released.

“It’s certainly a privilege to stay here and coach the team for the foreseeable future,” Bazin said. “It’s pretty special to guide the program you played at.”
