With coach Hangey's move to Deputy Athletic Director, we are excited to announce that Nic Bedelyon has been named our Head Coach for the 2026-2027 season!

Coach Bedelyon has been with our program for 14 years, spending the last four as the Associate Head Coach. His experience, leadership, and commitment to our student athletes make him the perfect person to lead our team into this next chapter.

He knows exactly what it takes to continue building our program with grit, purpose, and a true Bronc mentality. We're excited to see what Coach Bedelyon, along with assistants Doug Umbehauer and Tyler Klinsky have in store for this season!

It is with both excitement and sadness that we share that our head coach for the last nine seasons, John Hangey, is taking on a new role this year as the Deputy Athletic Director.

While we are sad to lose him at the helm of our program, we are incredibly proud of him and excited to see all that he will accomplish in his new position. We know he will do wonderful things as the leader of our athletic department. Please join us in congratulating him and wishing him the best of luck as he brings the success, passion, and mentality of our program to all of the sports teams across Rider!
