As one of a select few people on here with experience being coached by Dane, I figured I should share my two cents.
Now…I wasn’t exactly on the UND hockey team, per-se, but I did take the intro to ice hockey class from Hak and Dane would often come help. I clearly recall him telling me to crash the net from the wing looking for a rebound from an opposite side shot and that same week, I did exactly that in my (lowest tier) intramural game and scored. (My only goal of the season)
Point being - he made me a better player. More importantly, I have only ever heard good things about him from guys who were actually on or around the team.
I hope we get to see a new or mostly new coaching team under him and of course, success on the ice next year. I’m excited to see what he can do.
