Appert Among The Hockey News' Top 40 Under 40

The Hockey News has once again listed its Top 40 Under 40 in the sport of hockey and Rensselaer head men's coach Seth Appert has been listed.  The international publication's annual list recognizes up and coming people in the sport.

Appert, 36, is listed due to his efforts in returning the Engineers to national prominence after taking over the program in 2006.  Rensselaer is currently 10-4-3 and ranked 14th nationally, according to the most recent polls.  The Engineers recently complete a two-game series sweep at the University of Alabama-Huntsville.

Interestingly, Appert, who is the American Hockey Coaches Association President, is joined on the list by former college teammate and roommate Jeff Blashill, who is in his first year as head coach at Western Michigan University.
