Schultz was a two-year captain of the Ice Knights and his playing days ended upon his graduation with dual degree in special education and history.
While the team improved markedly the following year, the program was hit with a postseason ban in 2010 because the university had used financial aid grants to entice Canadian players to the school.
The Knights won the program's first two NCAA games versus Nichols and Norwich to reach the Frozen Four (Lewiston, Maine) for the first time and, though they lost to eventual champion St. Norbert, Schultz was selected as the National Coach of the Year.
In 2016, the Knights won the SUNYAC final, beat Salve Regina and Williams College, earning a spot once again in the Frozen Four (Lake Placid) and was once again a recipient of the Edward Jeremiah Award National Coach of the Year, though this time the honor was shared with Peter Belisle.
In 2022 he led the Knights to the NCAA Division III National Championship game in Lake Placid for the first time where they ultimately fell to Adrian.
