    Eden Prairie High School boys hockey coach Mike Terwilliger has stepped down after three seasons, the school confirmed Wednesday, ending a tenure that saw the Eagles post a 47-29-5 record and two consecutive 17-win campaigns.

    Terwilliger, who resigned March 14, previously served as head coach at Bloomington Jefferson and was an assistant at both Eden Prairie and Edina. A former Edina standout, he played collegiately at St. Lawrence University before returning to Minnesota to coach.

    “I sincerely thank Coach Terwilliger for his dedication, time, and effort in leading this program for the past three years as our head coach, and am grateful for all he’s brought to this program,” said Joe Perkl, Eden Prairie’s director of student activities. “Our focus now is on finding the next great leader for this program, and we will be asking our athletes and parents to give input on the skills, experiences, and attributes they hope for in our next head coach.”

    Terwilliger, known as “Twig” in hockey circles, is a fourth-grade teacher at Cedar Ridge Elementary in Eden Prairie.
