He has a son, but he's not much of a hockey player. We played pond hockey with him at University Park during the WJC tourney when it was in GF. I think he's a very good baseball player though.

Schloss seems to think it will be Shaw as well: http://undhockey.areavoices.com/?p=100569

That makes sense.

I thought gfhockey said that Pierre Paul Lamoureux was going to get this job? How many of the requirements does he meet?

Beat me to it. My thoughts exactly.

Much like the Brad Berry hire when Hakstol replaced Eades with Berry, this job posting looks like it was written specifically for someone that the coaching staff has in mind.

Since when does a USHL title count as a natty? Maybe he has some midget and peewee titles from his youth as well that we could add to that total!

I think it is similar to the Save Ferris movement.

Fire Berry? Simple question.

Especially on the defense! We'll have to enjoy this next season...

Well thank you, I do smile quite a bit. I like the Berry hire. I don't think the team will miss a beat.

IF Schmaltz does come back for another year, our d-corps is once again going to be very talented and almost "too" deep. I'd love to see what Poolman could do with a full year on the blueline instead of playing forward again...

He's the guy that originally tweeted the news about Schmaltz. Once you saw that on the Twitter-sphere, you came on here and reported the same news a few minutes later and tried to pass it off as your own. It's ok, this whole day has you spiraling a bit...

I'm the largest silent investor of the group. I technically own about 82% of the GOBC, but I don't like getting into the numbers too much.

Alright, everyone got their wish! Good luck in Philly, Coach Hakstol! The Berry Era has begun. Let's keep on rolling...

I have inside info on what LaDue and JSchmaltz are going to do, but I'm not going to say anything until after they announce it publicly.

http://www.cjbk.com/local-sports/2015/05/08/matthew-tkachuk-joins-the-knights I hadn't heard anything about Tkachuk accelerating his education in order to go to a NCAA campus this fall. I forget if he was a 15/16 commit or a 16/17 originally.

All those MJ leagues are the same to me.

I'm friends with someone on the GOBC for Notre Dame and we were anxiously awaiting the inside scoop on Lucia.

Mario Lucia is returning to Notre Dame for his senior season instead of turning pro.

Might be similar to the same WHL team that drafted the Schmaltz brothers, hoping to lure them both into playing together up north.

Evers isn't coming in this year because JSchmaltz wants to play another year with his brother. Gardner isn't coming in this year because Matthews spoke to the coaches and is UND-bound.
