Yes

Hak already is working as a “volunteer Assistant”. He’s always helping this program behind the scenes. Does plenty of scouting as well.

Yes but let’s start that the following year lol. Jokes aside I agree with you 100%

There’s a bag

Throw the whole bag at Gavin McKenna. Get him here for next season. UND then gets to have (probably) the #1 overall pick in the draft. That would do wonders to boost the program back up at a national level to attract more high end recruits going forward. So much press will surround this kid if he goes NCAA for one year.

Not all NIL funds need to go through the “collective”. The Athletes can be paid directly from a company.

Any good news Rhett? Like KEM bought McKenna ? Wouldn’t that be a great bomb for Jax to drop eh..

I was also thinking about how irrelevant the movie Blue Chips is now lol.

That would be so awesome if Cole signs to play at UND. And good first move by our new HC!

Capfriendly lol

A few people here have mentioned that Raboin was the assistant responsible for bringing in top recruits. So maybe Jax is responsible for ##### and ###### coming in next year that are huge gets. So firing Berry but keeping and promoting Jax makes sense if you want to keep those guys. That he landed. We still don’t know who he has lined up WHL wise that could be enormous as well. Just food for thought here.

So do we still get to make the NODAK sweaters the primary uniform?

Not the only option but definitely should be the first option. His job to accept or not.

I have the best plan. Call Gavin McKenna and tell him he gets to pick the coach for next season on a one year deal.

Maybe our next coach will win the natty with Berry’s recruits

Sacha ain’t going anywhere. One more year at UND and then off to the Windy City

Yes. I think you have to. Since Berrys first day as head coach 9 years ago, only 6 college hockey coaches have won a national Championship. He’s one of them and only 5 remain. His win/loss record and conference championships also increase this credential.

DC does of course. I was replying to a post that said he beats Bubs most the time…. And that’s not the case. I think Berry is the only coach in the country DC has a losing record to. for the record, I think DC is one of the top three coaches in college hockey and should be a HC in the NHL very soon.

DC is a great coach. But he does have a losing record against Bubs overall. Just saying…

WHL please . And over 6.3 “

I’m not sure why I’m taking the time to reply to this. I guess it’s just to help people think a little. First off, Berry has ran many different “systems” since he has taken over the program. It mainly depends on his roster as to what they are running as well as the opponent. As far as his current style being a “bad system”, old school, unwillingness to change, games passed him, no freedom or creativity, etc. Then explain what Jaxon Blake was doing out there under Berry less than a year ago? You know, the freedom he had to pretty much do what he wanted all the way to 60 pts and a Hobey Hat Trick finalist! Did Berry hold him back? Was his “system” unfavorable to the makeup of his team and his star player? No. And as far as him not developing players for the NHL and them regressing… see points about Blake above. He came in a 4th round pick who some on here were asking for him to be benched for being selfish and turning over the puck. Some also said he needs to stay another year. Some commented he will have a nice career in the AHL or Europe. He’s currently 3rd in NHL rookie goal scoring and is on Carolina’s top line with Aho and Rantanin and 1st PP. Berry developed him into a first line NHL’er. Same goes for Tyler Klevin who some on here said he wouldn’t sniff the NHL. He’s been a mainstay. Brad Berry has done a great job ideveloping college athletes into pros. He has been a great coach and this man has forgotten more about hockey than most people know. With all that being said, I don’t disagree that he has had a bad year obviously. Us fans are frustrated with the performance of our favorite team. Berry deserves the criticism he’s getting. But let’s not stretch it here into something it’s not.

When I think of divers, Jacob Cepis always comes up first in my mind.

And get another goalie
