Since 1983 this award has been given to the high school coach of the year as selected by the state's hockey coaches. This award is given in memory of the great John Mariucci, who was a legend in Minnesota hockey and one of Minnesota's great sports figures.
A native of Eveleth, Mariucci played for the Chicago Blackhawks at a time when few Americans were able to play in the National Hockey League. Mariucci later coached the University of Minnesota hockey team, and the arena on the university campus bears his name.
John was a lifelong promoter and supporter of the Minnesota hockey player and remained so until his death in 1987.
Winners of this award are listed in the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame.
