I don't know where you are going with this, but Tarek Howard is about as good of a person as you will ever meet. He's a class act and very ethical.

I believe he works as an attorney at Forx Motors.

I get that but they both played for UND and Katie is an O’Keefe from Grand Forks where her dad was a former player, announcer, head of fundraising and a loyal UND alumni. Did UND recruit Katie Hale’s son?

Not true. He interviewed for UND head coach job driving up from Fargo during regionals.

Does anyone know why Katie Hale’s son committed to CC and not UND?

Did he commit?

I agree and have the same order of preference, except UND's title drought is "only" 9 years since 2016.

Denver has only one offensive coach. Carle was a defenseman. Macmillan is the only offensive coach of the 4

Jackson and Chyzyk were forwards

It’s only an hour from GF so if anyone really wanted to go they could. The real reason is to emphasize that Chipotle sucks almost as much as UNO

Great. Fargo has one and no one goes because (1) they suck and (2) who wants food poisoning?

How does Omaha get any players when they have never had a brand except being below average?

He's Canadian, so he has connections in both countries.

I would like to see Jason Herter. Name him associate head coach and give him a pay bump. He's a proven winner and an alum.

How much coaching experience did Carle have when hired by DU?

I'm not sure I agree. Hunter Johannes was at UND only 1 year and appears to bleed green. I suspect that there are others.

I forgot Michaud

I have never been opposed to the portal. UND has grabbed some very good and impactful players out of the portal--Connor Ford, Zmolek, Pyke, Chris Jandric, Ashton Calder, Driscoll, TJ to name a few.

Mark Osiecki was an assistant coach to Dean Blais in 1996-97 when they won the national championship in Milwaukee

Playing Devil's Advocate, but the decision to not bring in Scott Morrow backfired, as did the decision to not bring in Rizzo, who after sitting for a year, flipped his commitment to DU. There were some who thought Oshie wasn't ready at 18 and straight out of HS and I shudder to think about what would have happened if he decommitted.

Western Michigan did it successfully. 6 players from the portal and 2 flipped commitments from Hampton and Bump.

You love to spin things to support your narrative. Taking your argument to its logical extreme, 10 of your beloved BU squad's wins were against Holy Cross, Union, Merrimack, Vermont, Lowell, Notre Dame and Northeastern. That is 12 wins against everyone else! Oh, and they got boat raced 7-2 by UND and beat UND 4-3 in a game that UND predictably gave away.

No, UND made its own luck with bad non-conference performances, but it did go 2-1 against Hockey East teams still in the tournament and Hockey East got 6 teams in the tournament despite UMass and UConn having as bad or worse non-conference performances. Nobody really understands how the Pairwise works, but UMass losing to RPI, Omaha, Sacred Heart and Vermont twice and getting a 3 seed is puzzling.

I don't disagree, but other teams struggled in non-conference games and it didn't seem to matter. How do you explain Ohio State getting swept by Princeton and tying American International, Michigan splitting with SCSU, Minnesota losing to Omaha, BU losing to Yale and tying Harvard, UConn losing to Holy Cross, Vermont and UW, UMass losing to RPI, Omaha, Sacred Heart and Vermont twice??

Minnesota lost to Omaha, but swept UMD and SCSU. Michigan split with SCSU, beat and tied ASU and split with WMU. I agree with you.
