“We are excited to have Coach Marlowe work with our student-athletes this winter and feel he has a solid long-term vision for moving our program forward into the future,” Pernsteiner said. “His experience at all levels of hockey, from the youth through high school was key to our selection of Chris as the next leader of our hockey co-op. We are looking forward to working with Chris to as he builds and strengthens hockey at Merrill and Wausau East high schools.”
