Maybe it’s just me but I think MAC schools should be in the CCHA and summit schools in the NCHC.
I don't think WMU for sure and Miami at least previously wanted to be in a conference with a bunch of division 2 schools and UND and Denver didn't want to be in a conference with a bunch of division 2 schools either and UNO obviously made it known that Hockey is the primary sport on their campus, St. Cloud had to beg and convince the other members they would be committed to hockey financially(and they have been true to their word) when the league could not come to an agreement with Notre Dame to be the 8th team. I remember seeing Motzko and Gasparini together in Grand Forks a couple of times(once at the Pepper) and if I remember correctly I think Gino lobbied on their behalf.

Leave the Summit out of it.
Has Miami stated they want to leave or is that speculation?
Add Arizona State.
I know Bowling Green wanted in a few years back, not sure if that still holds true.
If Miami left and Arizona State is added that would be alright. If Miami stays and Arizona State is added and they wanted a 10th I would say Bowling Green, Air Force, and St. Thomas would be best additions. Have to be a little careful with St. Thomas if the league is under The Summit flag as there is quite a bit of talk in the cities of St. Thomas moving most of their Athletic programs to The Big East at some time in the future.

No. She ran skating camps. UND and other schools would bring her in to improve skating skills. Several NHL players also worked with her over the summer.

Agreed that the athletes individually play a big role in this - however, these were recruits who were chosen, checked on by talking to their coaches, interviewed, followed, and offered by a coach who emphasizes culture to come to UND. Even so do recruits sometimes don't pan out - homesick, can't work through adversity, poor chemistry, etc - absolutely. Should this happen to almost an entire group? Not in a program of our stature. Something went wrong here. Just look at our goalie recruitment to see what I mean. The good news is that we seem to have rebounded some through good use of the portal (although time will tell). The bad news is that this type of program building is unsustainable if we want to be on top. It's past time for us to win some top recruiting battles and build our roster with a good mix of talent in an orderly fashion. Agreed that Covid made things strange but still ....
There isn't a coach in America who has been at a school for more than 3 or 4 years whether it is in Football, basketball, Hockey, Baseball, or virtually any collegiate sport who does not talk about the Culture of their program.

The guys they have brought in through the portal appear to be some elite college-level folks. Really pretty happy about them.
Not sure what is in the works, but at least they have proven that they can kick everyone out and still field a legitimate team. One or two more portal folks might be needed, but I for one am impressed with the offseason.
In watching our team play last year with regard to TEAM defense I would put our defense 3rd in the pecking order as far the problems we had early in the season behind leaky goaltending and several forwards playing 2 facets of the game, offense and waiting to be on offense.

If Ihenacho doesn't get a waiver we currently have 0 legit PG's and A TON of non-shooters. We have a lot of athletes however! That is good compared to recent years teams!
Going to have to switch the play style completely from the end of last year and what worked, shooting a lot of 3's. Going to need to create a lot of easy transition layups!
I am going to assume Trent had a conversation with the coaching staff and I would speculate that they believe Ihenacho will receive a waiver from the NCAA.

I agree with you in wishing the game could be played mid-afternoon.
I also understand that logistically, it cannot be. And it has nothing to do with anyone living in Las Vegas. Or maybe the football staff actually prefers the early kickoff and our opinions don't matter?
Maybe they will find a way to push the kickoff to 1 or 1:30 and move the hockey game back to 7pm given the magnitude of games that weekend.Officially I believe it was to make it a bit more family friendly as games were getting over fairly late.
Unofficial side benefit, probably boosts concession sales a fair amountAnd the Student Body can get downtown at a reasonable time!

Ask a politician if they are a man or a women and see how many can answer this
men are men, women are women, if trans want to play they can start their own league for trans only
The irony is that if they did form separate leagues they would have to separate the trans women leagues from the trans girls leagues due to the unfair advantages the trans women would have.

Hmm, it looks like he’s playing in England. Making a living and he can at least catch a few Premier League matches.
While Geno's hairline is looking a little rough he has been doing real well playing in England as he was the league MVP in 21 and 22 and led his team to the Title in 2022.
He signed with a team and is currently playing in Germany this season.

I like your thought process.
His article has so many flaws it's hard to know where to start.
The first is to frame the question as Miami vs Arizona State. It's broader than that. And that makes it a false choice.
The MAC schools (BGSU, Miami and Western Michigan) are in different conferences which creates tension. Why would Western stay if Miami leaves? My bet would be NCHC loses both.
And out west, there are other potental entrants to D-1 "likely" - U-Arizona and UNLV at top of list; does that NCHC want to have 2-3-4 schools playing a long way from everywhere else? Not to mention the bigger question of whether Arizona State wants to affiliate with the NCHC; I haven't seen any evidence of that, and broader history of Big Ten-PAC partnerships suggests a Big Ten affiliate membership would be their first choice.
I suggested a couple years ago that the NCHC should have added Arizona State and Bowling Green.
I do not think any additional teams whose schools are not d1 across the board should be added for various reasons.

Question for the masses: In the linked article, it says that Portz "averaged 8 minutes, 4 seconds on the ice". Is time-on-ice for college hockey publicly available anywhere?
I know there is a more in depth website that breaks down stats further than the typical box scores. I believe it takes a subscription for the service. I know Schloss has it and has referenced it a few times.

This is what's gonna drag people (or programs) into the muck with the NCAA, or with whatever state or local body has the power to enforce the relevant laws/rules. Arguably, the entire premise underlying NIL was that one's name, image, and/or likeness would have some value BEFORE money starts getting thrown around. Giving blanket or flat sums to recruits before they've set foot on campus - save for the occasional blue chip superstar - is almost certainly going to raise eyebrows.
Sham NIL deals hiding pay-to-play setups may be hard to prove, but probably not impossible.
This^^^^
The O'Bannon lawsuit that led to all this was about the "athlete" being able to use their name, image, and likeness or be compensated for the use of(i.e. video games).
That is what is should be. The NCAA needs to set a couple of guideleines and schools should set some limits on how and when school logos/name can and can't be used by the athlete.....and from that point on it should be up to the athlete to put together any branding of their name and negotiate compensation.

I'm not hitting the panic button, but we currently don't have that pure shooter like Norman to really space the floor and help open up driving lanes. All of our current guards, except maybe Treysen, are drivers first before shooters
Treysen - he is a scorer that can shoot, he's going to be up and down because of the type of shots he shoots. Not a shooter like Norman was
Omot - should be able to improve on his 30% he shot last year but again is a scorer that can shoot it a bit. Not a shooter like Norman
Trent, Brooks, Danielson, King, Mayar - All drivers first. None are shooters.
TT shooting like he did last year does help create some space and driving lanes off the pick & pop.
Hoping we use one of the 2 remaining scholarships to get someone that can really shoot the ball to help space the floor!
I don't know if I agree in total about Eaglestaff. I think his game was forced to evolve a bit since in college he is shooting against bigger players and they probably close out on the shooter quicker than he was used to in High School and even AAU. I know his senior year in high school almost half(276 of 567) of his shots came from beyond the 3 point line. I think as he gets stronger and quicker he may be able get his shot up a little quicker, develop a little more consistent range, and create space a little easier and hopefully also be able to finish stronger through contact at the rim. We might be saying the same thing differently but I think he looks for the 3 first and foremost.

Off-season time killer, predictions for next year. (Someone else can do the defensive core :-) )
Gaber -
- 2022 stats: 20 Goals 17 assists -- 37 points
- 2023 prediction - 24 Goals 22 assists -- 46 points
- Note - Overall should improve uptake in goals & points one would assume for 2023- '24 season
McLaughlin -
- 2022 stats: 2 Goals 13 assists -- 15 points
- 2023 prediction - 14 Goals 20 assists -- 34 points
- If he doesn't hit a million pipes again in the '23-'24 season, will easily be a double digit goal scorer, no question. Imagine where last year's team would have been had Owen scored more than 2 goals on the season ffs?!
Blake -
- 2022 stats: 16 Goals 26 assists -- 42 points
- 2023 prediction - 25 Goals 32 assists -- 57 points
- Your '23-'24 Hobey (Blaker) Baker winner or a top 3 candidate 100%
James -
- 2022 stats: 8 Goals 8 assists -- 16 points
- 2023 prediction - 15 Goals 18 assists -- 33 points
- Will have a huge sophomore year, will get stronger this off-season and that will make him even more explosive and faster - crazy! Could exceed projected point total.
Berg -
- 2022 stats: 10 Goals 24 assists -- 24 points
- 2023 prediction - 14 Goals 22 assists -- 36 points
- Have Cameron scoring a few more goals but have lower assists total, his point outcome "could" exceed this prediction. All depends on his role, line mates and chemistry for next year.
Perron -
- 2022 (USHL) stats: 22 Goals 47 assists -- 69 points
- 2023 prediction - 13 Goals 22 assists -- 35 points
-
Listed at 5'9 ~ 165 lb, it'll take him a bit to transition to the college level/game. Everything I've heard, he's more of a set up guy but can certainly bury the puck in the back of the net too. How good will this freshman be? TBD.
- Note best "freshie forwards in the last decade" Pinto, Brock, Jackson B. Is Jayden in this company? TBD...
Kunz -
- 2022 stats: 5 Goals 0 assists -- 5 points
- 2023 prediction - 11 Goals 13 assists -- 24 points
- Have to think Kunz takes a huge jump in development and continues to work on foot speed this offseason and rounding out other areas of his game. Should be on PP unit #1 or #2 and be the focal point being the big body in front of the net on the PP 100%. No way he doesn't Surpass his point total of 5 from last year...
Schmaltz -
- 2022 stats: 5 Goals 7 assists -- 12 points
- 2023 prediction - 10 Goals 14 assists -- 24 points
- Jake is a ? mark for next year depending on role and what line & players are on his line. Needs a jump in his development with consistent scoring and strength. Skill is there...work (workout) with your cousin, Nick this off-season as Nick finally got the message to shoot more in the NHL and he's become more of an offense threat and a great puck retreater with his stick lifts etc. Jake needs to carbon copy this 100%.
Emerson -
- 2022 (USHL) stats: 30 Goals 33 assists -- 69 points
- 2023 prediction - 8 Goals 10 assists -- 18 points
- Haven't watched/seen enough of his game. Everything I hear is that he goes in the paint and goes to the net to get his goals. If he has more speed than Jackson Kuntz, there's no reason to assume he'll have more production output as a freshman comparing Emerson and Kunz USHL stats.
Jamernik -
- 2022 stats: 3 Goals 11 assists -- 14 points
- 2023 prediction - 7 Goals 13 assists -- 20 points
- Should have better production next year. Needs to find that scoring/production touch. Has the skill & speed, just isn't a lethal scorer at all but serves other roles. We shall see.
Strinden -
- 2022 stats: 3 Goals 6 assists -- 9 points
- 2023 prediction - 9 Goals 15 assists -- 24 points
- Has the skill and rounded game. Depending what opportunity given line and teammates, could certainly exceed 9 goals next year in my opinion.
Ness -
- 2022 stats: 5 Goals 1 assists -- 6 points
- 2023 prediction - 7 Goals 5 assists -- 12 points
Johannes -
- 2023 prediction - 13 Goals 16 assists -- 29 points
- 2023 prediction - Honestly, TBD, depends what line, role, who he is playing with.
So if we get similar goal production next year as we did last year from our backend we will average 4 1/2 goals a game and likely be the highest scoring team in the country. Would be great to see.

How I think about this is Pehrson might not be the top NHL caliber defenseman that was in the portal, but for what UND desperately needed, he was most likely the most coveted player for the UND coaching staff that was in the portal. The addition of Pehrson changes expectations for next year. Here's where we're at now defensively.
- Pyke / Pehrson would be a great Top pairing.
- Zmolek would be a great Second pairing RHD
Now, you can look at the talented LHD Freshman class and whoever proves it, can step into that 2nd pairing.
The scouting reports on all three of the portal defenseman has to give everyone so much optimism. Defense first. That's exactly what they need for next year (from those portal additions).
Pehrson definitely fits the defense first or maybe defense only role. Not sure which game he scored in as a freshman but he currently is riding a 92+ game streak of not scoring a goal. Also of note, he had ZERO penalties in 39 games last season.

Head coaching contracts tend to include a two way buyout clause. If the school wants to fire a coach before the of the contract the buyout is in the contract. If the coach wants to leave early, there should be a buyout clause with cost to get out of contract. (Often paid by the new employer).
It seems Bubba has been doing what you mentioned regarding assistants. Without looking up to see who I missed: Eric Schmidt, Jordan Gigli, Robbie Rouse, Steven Crutchley are a few that have been on the move.
Freund, Pawlak, Flyger, and (despite his detractors on this forum) Kostich are all young coaches who will likely have opportunities for successful coaching careers. I think considering assistant coaching salaries, that is impressive.
Bubba, his staff and these players all plan on winning. I believe Bubba’s focus is accomplishing his goal of conference championships, annual playoff runs and ultimately a national championship. I don’t believe he is thinking about possible future opportunities unless those goals are accomplished.
Most of us are getting impatient, some are frustrated and want to start over. Either way, until contract time it doesn’t matter.
To me, this will be the most important year for Bubba. We have gone through the struggles of the move to FCS, the struggles of finding a conference, the success of winning a conference championship (albeit The Great West), the struggles of switching conferences, then the excitement and optimism by winning the Big Sky followed by the frustration of laying an egg in the playoffs. The program is disrupted again with a move to a new conference a playoff appearance, another laid egg then the success of a conference championship followed by another laid egg, followed by another playoff year with limited success ultimately ending in failure so far to reach our ultimate goal.To his credit Bubba has steered the ship through some rough waters. Facilities are much improved but not there yet. Asst salaries have a ways to go yet. (Bubba has given part of his salary to go to asst salaries). I believe Chaves sees and feels any change would be too big of a setback. Despite all of the thorough vetting of potential replacements by our forum folks, I haven’t seen anything that would indicate making a change. Every time contracts are renewed would be the opportunity to re-evaluate the need for change.
Just my opinion.
I appreciate and respect your opinion and think Bubba has done an average job with the hand he had to play. I think we missed the boat in not hiring DeBoer when we had the chance.
In short I don't think UND should be a final destination spot for a Football or Basketball coach.

College Hockey Expansion
in Men's Hockey
Posted
UND and Denver are not going to want to water down the hockey conference they are in.
WMU and Miami are not going to move to the Summit and ASU certainly would not. Add nothing to the Summit.
CC, SCSU, and UMD are all staying in conference. Add nothing to The Summit.
Why would it?
