And Fargo, along with their D1 hockey program, has what to do with this forum? Asking for a friend….

Omaha has a Chipotle(several actually). There is your answer.😂

“You’re” not your…..carry on

Tell/show me where I have posted something and I’ve been completely off base…. I will hang up and listen.

Jackson getting some “no not interested” from players in portal in last few days about coming to UND. He will need to rebuild the brand and it is going to take a bit of time.

Agreed. And UND as guilty of this as any other school over last few years.

Anyone out there care to question what I have been saying since before season started, please speak up. It has been a complete gong show internally last few years.

I don’t care.

Let’s hope the new HC is taking notes on what is needed to get far in post season by observing the DU/BU game. UND has a ways to go to get to this level. And, constantly raiding the portal to fill holes, as was the case the past few years, is not the way to go.

I believe it works this way….He is technically unemployed and there for can do as he wishes until he is hired to coach again. Then it comes down to a numbers game on difference between what he is owed by UND and what new school/hockey employer is paying him. But he is certainly free to have any conversation he wants with whomever he chooses to.

You think Berry was a choir boy while employed at UND when it came to the transfer portal??

Berry can do whatever he wants, he is no longer employed by UND.

Personally, if I was being realistic and a competitor, I would definitely stay at a brand new hockey school, build a program from ground up with my hands all over the process, keep it headed in right direction, stay loyal to players/their families and build a program over many years not two years and leave. Also, get to raise a young family in a thriving Midwest community and learn and grow as a professional and then wait for the “right” opportunity, if I would ever want to leave. Maybe someone stays for a very long time? A lot worse places to live/coach in than Sioux Falls. UND hockey is not the destination it once was. Everyone needs to realize this. If another internal hire happens, so be it. That seems to be the blueprint. Whether right or wrong, a guy who has dedicated 19 years to a program, is not going to come in without his own plan and he will have his own intentions/ideas. My two cents……

If this is in fact the case of the new HC, it is what was asked for by a lot of folks, and probably needed. And by all accounts alumni giving a lot of support for the rumored new HC. Regardless, time to rally the troops and give full support. A breath of fresh air from a new HC, whether you agree or not, is about to enter the Ralph.

Also, Raboin on World Jr staff last two years of back to back gold medals….

“Cute”?…..good night Karen.

Berry was not a great coach. Great person, yes. Great passion for UND hockey, yes. But he was far from a great coach. He had the keys to the greatest facilities, unlimited resources, unreal fan base, “all in” hockey alumni base and did not deliver. Thus, why we are where we are at today. All doors close at some point in life and another one opens. A breath of fresh air is greatly needed.

For sure

Players would scatter if KG retained……

He would need to recruit “his style” of players. And with portal/CHL a big factor now on how rosters are shaped each year, absolutely he moves a needle. Great college success sending guys to NHL plus his NHL resume. It would not even be close to worse than what we have seen last few years as far as on ice effort, passion etc

You would have to imagine conversations have been quietly going on for weeks, if not months with potential candidates. With portal opening next Sunday, is it possible a deal already in place with Hakstol? Would make a lot of sense in my opinion.

Regardless whom the next HC is, time to unite and march forward. A lot of people got their wish today with a change in direction for our beloved hockey program. I was ready to cancel my season tix if no change was made…….. Giddy up

They were not on the same page that is for sure. players would buy in/play harder for him. But at this point, a total reset is needed.

An observation….. Bookend losses (start/end of season) by UND, to a former player (Ferner/Augie asst) and an active player (Constantini) whom were both told they were no longer welcome to be part of UND hockey.
