Greg May, a 2007 Augsburg University alumnus, was named as the new head coach for the Auggies' men's hockey program in September 2021. A four-year player for the Auggie men's hockey team (2003-07), May returns to Augsburg after a successful career as a coach and administrator at both the high school and collegiate levels.
As a player at Augsburg, May earned All-Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Honorable Mention honors as a forward in his senior year, 2006-07. He played in 100 games in his collegiate career, scoring 22 goals with 24 assists for 46 points. He set career-highs in his senior year with 11 goals and nine assists for 20 points, as part of an Auggie squad that went 12-10-4 and reached the MIAC postseason playoffs.

May was in charge of 15 varsity sports and more than 50 activities at the all-male school, where 93 percent of its student body participated in at least one sport or activity. He was in a supervisory role for more than 120 coaches and moderators in athletics and activities.
Prior to going to STA, May had worked for two seasons as director of operations for the men's hockey program at the University of Minnesota, managing much of the Golden Gophers' behind-the-scenes operations, including budgets, travel, compliance, recruiting visits, video, scouting, and conference and NCAA contacts, in addition to participating on the Minnesota coaching staff.
From 2016-19, he served as the boys' hockey coach and associate athletic director at the Blake School in Hopkins, Minn., where he led the Bears to back-to-back Independent Metro Athletic Conference titles (2017-18, 2018-19). He had a 46-31-3 record during his Blake years.
From 2014-16, he coached boys' hockey at Farmington (Minn.) High School, compiling a 38-18-2 record and leading the Tigers to their first-ever Class AA Minnesota State Hockey Tournament appearance (2015-16). He was named Section 1AA Coach of the Year in the Tigers' section title season of 2015-16. His Tigers were section runners-up in 2014-15. May worked as a health and physical education teacher in the Burnsville-Eagan-Savage School District from 2008-16.

He owns his own hockey skill development business, May and Co., and also served as a scout for the USHL's Chicago Steel from 2014-17.
