Jan. 27: The Otters, after an "ongoing review of team policy," fired coach Stan Butler following an 11-day separation from the players and his assistants. Butler couldn't be reached for comment on ...

He replaced coach B.J. Adams, who was fired in the midst of Erie's 2022-23 season. Butler went 57-58-13-0 over one full season with the Otters and portions of two others.

Wolfe, 35, initially aided Erie's head coaches from 2016-21. That stint began with the Otters' Robertson Cup championship season of 2016-17.
