Sioux-Per-villain: How DARE you use old intelligence!!!

Hopefully Eades can turn UND into the best and most consistent power play in the nation!

Im confused. First a coach is hired without any attempt at an external search. Then an assistant coach is hired over a more than capable coach without even being interviewed?

I have no clue, I think I liked johnson's very close connections to the USHl and his likeability amongst players and potential recruits. Not to mention that the guy was dying to get back to grand forks (not that that is a good reason to hrie somebody).

Is eades more qualified that johnson?

WHAT?? Who is it!!!!!?!?!?!?

I would imagine somebody who is currently active in coaching would get preference, depending on their experience. With all these names, it might be awhile before we find out who the coach is. When was the last time this much interest was generated in an ASSISTANT coach search!

Now that it is official that steve johnson has applied, would i be the only one to be disappointed if hakstol didnt give him the job??

My dad went to school in crosby back in the day. Still have relatives there.

I still think he is gone.

Actually thanks for the heads up to UNH who first posted it on USCHO

He had a better year in 2002-2003. The reason why he didnt surpass his 02-03 stats was because of the HORRIBLE slump he went into at the end of the year.

Like i said on uscho this sounds like posturing just like vanek. Only difference is Vanek is the 5th overall pick... bochenski is in the lower rounds.

amen.. you never really know what the season is going to look like until you are WELL into it. Look at the gophers last year, the gophers in 2003 when they won it all, denver last year, UMD the last couple of years. You just never know.

You heard it here first... UND will contend for the WCHA championship next year. They may not be the favorite anymore, but I challenge you to find a team in the WCHA that will be better next year.

I seriously doubt the loss of one player can have that much of an impact. They still return quite a bit of depth on offense, but most importantly they return a very strong defense and goalie rotation.

I heard from an anonymous source that Bochenski really didnt want to return for his senior season. Maybe it is a good thing he is gone.

Stalker !!

I would imagine they have to wait at least 30 days once they post it to external candidates

Having a goalie coach is all fine and dandy.. but im 99 percent sure whoever they bring in is going to be a former forward.

So basically Johnson makes as much at Lincoln as Blais made at UND???

If Massen wants to play at all this year, he better start out better this year.

That is alink to a baseball game.

I believe a move up to D-II would only increase Bismarck's support for Umary.

If Johnson did take the assistant position at UND that would be HUGE!!! Talk about getting your cake and eating it too.
