You got sick of their fans, not of the hockey they played. They were a force there for a while.

To be honest, I went to Clarkson University from 1976 to 1980. They played in Walker Arena, small facility with wood benches and wood floors in the stands. The place was absolutely electric. After I graduated, I returned for the Clarkson St. Lawrence game at the Cheel arena. Everything was concrete and it absorbed every sound. I was so disappointed in the event, time marches on.

SHOT!

Here’s an NIL method that we should employ: Everybody gets the same amount x the winning percentage of the team for conference games. Everybody gets $2500 for each NCHC playoff win. Everybody gets $5000 for NCAA playoff birth. Everybody gets $10,000 for NCAA championship. or something like that…

I don’t, but I also don’t know that he wasn’t.

Perspective. Have you ever worked for a boss that you felt did not lead well or did things poorly? Did you quit the job because of it? Did you call his boss or her boss because of it? Jax was a loyal soldier, you can’t blame him for that. I mean you can, but what does it get you?

Well, they’re young and have had a few drinks. You never know it was said and you don’t know what happened prior to the incident. Hell I remember 45 years ago, it didn’t take much.

You mean actually build a team and keep it intact? How on earth would we do that? I really worry about the coaching situation. I worry about falling into a situation like Nebraska football, when were they relevant? Oh yeah 1995! I do concur with one idea, build it from the ground up.

You didn’t see that when all this crap started? NIL and the portal is killing college football and we all knew that hockey was next.

So far, my ESPN quits every like eight minutes. Does anybody else have that problem? I’ve got a Google TV.

Especially those large turnovers of class. So if you bring in eight freshman and two portal players, basically half of your team has to get used to the system, the league, etc. etc. I would like to see nonconference spread through the year, then I think you would see a true balancing of the league Standards.

NCHC tv has an abbreviated version

Where on earth did you hear that? I think they’re losing like 10 or 11 based on ageing out, but that seems a bit extreme.

And a funny thing is, it’s a direct impact to our recruiting dollars. Think about it for a second, Michigan or BC can sit back and review tapes and then target players already in the NCAA.

I completely agree with you. Look at college football, it’s crazy that you can’t actually invest yourself as a fan in a roster. Worse yet, the coaching staff cannot rely on a certain skill set to be present so planning is completely out the window. It ends up being like sandlot football, whoever shows up plays. College hockey is my favorite sport and I hated to see this come. I agree with you. They should have to sit out one year, and, only get one transfer. That year that they sit out can be a red shirt, but they have to sit.
