The team lost the national championship to North Dakota, 5-2.
Rick Comley (born January 20, 1947) is a former collegiate ice hockey player and former head coach at Michigan State University.
He finished his 38-year coaching career with a 783–615–110 (.556) record.
Comley played at Lake Superior State University in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan (1967–1971) under head coach Ron Mason, at one time, college hockey's career coaching victories leader.
In his senior season, Comley was named LSSU team captain and Most Valuable Player and was selected NAIA All-American.
He was also named LSSU's Most Outstanding Athlete that year.
Comley rejoined the LSSU program as an assistant coach for the 1972-73 season.
When head coach Ron Mason took the head coaching position at Bowling Green State University, Comley was named his successor.
Comley compiled a 59-46-3 mark in the three seasons at Lake Superior winning the CCHA regular-season title and NAIA national championship in 1974.
In 1976, Northern Michigan University launched a varsity hockey program, and approached Comley to become its first head coach.
NMU's offer included a recruiting budget twice the size of LSSU, which was too much for Comley to resist.
Previously, Comley declined head coaching offers at Bowling Green State University in 1979 and 1994 and at University of Denver in 1994.
Comley's tenure at MSU was turbulent replacing the iconic Ron Mason.
With those championships in 1980 and 1981, Northern Michigan earned automatic bids to the NCAA Tournament.
Again, Comley guided NMU to the NCAA Frozen Four in 1981 with a victory over Cornell before losing to eventual national champion Wisconsin and archrival Michigan Tech in the consolation game.
In 1984 Comley and Northern Michigan followed Michigan Tech to the Western Collegiate Hockey Association.
In the WCHA, Comley coached NMU to seven 20-win seasons in nine years.
During his time at NMU, Comley also served as athletic director from 1987-2000 highlighted by: major improvements in facilities including the building and completion of Superior Dome and Berry Events Center, several Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference championships, two NCAA Division II titles in women's volleyball, and the establishment of the U.S. Olympic Educational Center.
After previously serving in the role while still the hockey head coach from 1987-2000, Comley was rehired as the athletic director at Northern Michigan University in 2022 after the previous director, Forrest Karr, left to accept the same position at the University of Minnesota Duluth.
Rick Comley is one of only five coaches to have won more than 700 games, and one of only three to have won NCAA Championships at two separate schools.
During Northern Michigan's time in the WCHA, the Wildcats made the NCAA tournament in 1989, 1991, 1992 and 1993 winning the 1991 NCAA national championship in a dramatic triple overtime game against Boston University.
He won the WCHA MacNaughton Cup as regular-season champions in 1991 and won the Broadmoor Trophy as play-off champions in 1989, 1991 and 1992.
The championship appearance earned Comley and NMU their first berth in the NCAA tournament since 1993.
In a university-wide effort to gain more presence in the lower peninsula of Michigan, Comley switched NMU's hockey program back to the CCHA in 1997.
The move proved to re-energize hockey at Northern Michigan which had three straight losing seasons prior to 1997-98.
Comley coached NMU to five straight winning seasons and three trips to Joe Louis Arena for the CCHA championships.
In 1999, Northern Michigan made the CCHA title game, but lost to University of Michigan.

In 2006-07, Michigan State was preseason ranked No. 5, which was MSU's highest preseason ranking since October 2001.
The team was, again, inconsistent but earned an NCAA Tournament bid.
In a stunning series of games, MSU defeated three higher-ranked teams en route to the national championship, including wins against No. 1-ranked Notre Dame in the Midwest Regional final and No. 4-ranked Boston College in the National Championship game.
In 2007, he became the third coach in NCAA history to win a national championship at two different schools.
Comley is currently serving in his second stint as the athletic director at Northern Michigan University, hired in 2022.
Comley retired at the end of the 2010-2011 season.
