Gustaf Dale Hendrickson (1940 – January 25, 2024) was an American professional ice hockey player and head coach. He was in charge of the program at Minnesota–Duluth for seven seasons. [1]
Hendrickson was born in 1940. [2] He played for Michigan State for three seasons in the early 1960s, helping the team to a third-place finish in the WCHA tournament during his final year of eligibility. After leaving East Lansing Hendrickson found his way behind the bench at Grand Rapids High School. After building a successful program he accepted the post at Minnesota–Duluth, taking his assistant Mike Sertich along for the ride. [3] Hendrickson built the program slowly, finishing out of the playoffs in each of his first two seasons before positive results started to show. By his fourth year it appeared that Hendrickson had the Bulldogs primed to take the next step; led by future Olympic gold medalists Mark Pavelich and John Harrington Minnesota–Duluth compiled their second 20+ win season in program history and achieved a #1 national ranking for a time. Unfortunately for Hendrickson the team slumped after 1978–79 posting losing records in each of the next three seasons. He was let go in 1982 and replaced by his assistant, Sertich. [4]
Hendrickson died on January 25, 2024, at the age of 83. [5]

The Bulldogs men's golf team represented the University of Minnesota Duluth (UMD) in the sport of golf from 1947–1991. Overshadowed by the school's hockey, football and basketball programs, constrained by parsimonious budgets, disadvantaged by a short spring season, and without athletic scholarships, the UMD golf program was, nonetheless, one of the most successful of the University's intercollegiate athletic programs during its existence. Perennially a conference champion threat with rosters composed of predominately Duluth area athletes, the golf team was one of the first UMD athletic programs to qualify for national championship play and gave the school its first two All-American First Team honorees. During the 45 years of the program, the Bulldogs finished first or second in conference 29 times. Thirteen teams qualified for the NAIA National Championship Tournament and seven were selected to play for the NCAA Division II title. The golf program had the distinction of representing the highest showing for a UMD team of any sport at a national event for 31 years and the highest individual finish for 25 years. Despite its achievements, the UMD golf program was eliminated for the 1991-92 school year, a casualty of athletic department budget cuts.
