In 18 years behind the bench, Sertich would guide the program to a 350-328-44 record, winning three WCHA regular season titles, two league playoff championships as well as being named the WCHA Coach of the Year four times.
After his storied career with the Bulldogs, Sertich would serve as the head coach of Michigan Tech for three seasons from 2000-2003. He also worked for College of St. Scholastica (NCAA D-III) as a team consultant during the 2009-10 season.
Sertich was inducted into the Minnesota-Duluth Hall of Fame in 2005.
