No, they still do that, but somehow it is different if they have older players.

Personally, with how Hastings ravaged his former team, I hope he flops. I know, he has to do what he thinks is best to win, but I don't think all of those guys he took are must haves when he has the ability to recruit more high end guys at Wisconsin.

…and they wonder why we have so many apartment buildings? Not very attractive to new families and retirees.

Wonder if all the other high end talent BU has coming in could cause concern about ice time in certain situations.

No, since they allowed another paid position, the volunteer is eliminated.

Well, he can’t be a volunteer assistant anymore.

Yeah, makes you wonder if our faceoff proficiency could suffer a bit. Puck possession is huge, especially on special team units. Love to have Simpson back, but will genuinely miss what Ulmer has brought to the program.

Would love to see Slipec and Klee take the next step this year. Will be nice to see how Littler transitions to a full season in the USHL.

But if a stud goalie is sitting because another stud goalie took the net and didn’t relinquish it, they may transfer out, causing us to be forced to do so, so you never know.

We haven’t had success keeping freshmen of the year around, but nice that Tyree is back.

Good point, he will also be very relatable with the players, and maybe a good go between when issues arise that could derail a team.

If he can get the players and especially the defense to play with the passion and love for UND that he did, I'm good with it. Maybe it would have been nice if he had coaching experience somewhere, but I think he has a good background of knowledge and maybe some connections through his dad, and I sure wouldn't mind someone with his personality and passion talking to a recruit's parents. I think Nick Oliver only had Junior assistant coach experience before St. Cloud hired him as an assistant, and that was with two full time positions, so I think you can see big time coaching potential before you have much experience. I'm sure Smaby would have been preferable, but some guys that have that experience aren't going to take a pay cut unless they might be the next man up if you know what I mean.

...and could be they wanted a defensive player to have representation in the leadership group.

Was hoping Hensler would have waited to commit so a nice defensive coach addition would have enticed him. Oh well, still a lot of guys that are desirable that will probably be around a little longer.

...and let's not forget how this whole nickname fiasco got started with professors and such on our own campus that pushed their agenda. So we might have to kick ourselves out!

Since they are looking for someone to work with the defense, I would think Smaby and Simpson are probably good guesses.

The one guy couldn’t pronounce Goehring, although maybe they get that by listening to Jim Rich.

Blake, Gaber, James, Perron, Berg, McLaughlin etc., is hardly a dearth of top end talent.

Well, yeah, if you play a bad half you should be written off! So what do we do with 90% of your posts, write them off, or be thankful for the other 10%?

Yes, it was. That’s why I was confused about the reference when too many men was the main topic, but they also talked about offsides, but that still appears to be reviewable.

But it sounds like offsides is still reviewable.

I find it ironic that the NCAA and all of the member institutions that are supposedly so in tune with mental health and the wellness of the student athlete, have no problem making it that much more difficult for the student athlete with more travel and therefore more strain on a person's sleep and health, all in the name of the almighty buck. Of course hypocrisy and the NCAA go hand in hand. Where will this all end?

What game was that?

Since we already have two commits that are forwards from the group that just became eligible to recruit, I'm hoping this doesn't mean we aren't in on some of the other big names like Mooney, Potter, or Morin.

I see Caleb Heil is also from Victoria, Minnesota. Wonder if they are friends.
