William G. Selman (born c. 1939) is a retired head coach of men's college, university and professional ice hockey teams.
[1] Bill Selman was a three-year letterman for the North Dakota Fighting Sioux, winning a national title with the team in his senior season.
The Billikens would only remain in the upper echelon for nine years but Selman stayed with the team for the entire time being a driving force behind the formation of the CCHA, capturing three conference titles, three conference tournament championships and coaching three future NHL players (Mike Krushelnyski, Mario Faubert and Lindsay Middlebrook).
Once Saint Louis ended their program Selman moved on to be the head coach of the IHL's Dayton Gems for the 1979–80 season.
He coached Team USA at the 1982 World Ice Hockey Championships[4] but finished with a disastrous 0-6-1 record that saw the US relegated out of the top bracket.
