The New Jersey Chapter of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame, as well as many others associated with the sport in all its many facets, are joined together in recognizing the passing of legendary collegiate coach Dave “Ice” Icenhower. The former highly successful Division III coach at the College of New Jersey, mentor to many, ambassador of the sport, and most of all a gentleman, will remain one of the most highly regarded and decorated individuals ever to grace the sport of wrestling. A 2012 inductee into the New Jersey Chapter of the NWHOF, his dedication, service, and commitment to “what is right, everything that is good, and rewarding” about amateur wrestling will long be remembered.

The New Jersey Chapter, its Board of Directors, many friends, associates, and colleagues express their deepest sympathy to Dave’s family at this most difficult time.
