The game has changed. When the floodgates of NIL entered the conversation, it changed everything, even for hockey. It's not as apparent as it is in football, but it is heading in that direction. It's a young coach's game today, and older coaches, in general, are having a difficult time communicating with this pedigree of hockey players who are looking for that next-school-up, when it comes to $$ and playing time. Berry is a coach of the past, and the game is passing him by.
Whoever is on the radar for coaching, needs to be of the coaching capability in this new era of NCAA sports - of a pay-to-play. Scholarships and boarding just aren't enough these days.
