This is a make or break moment in the history of SIoux hockey...the same way the Ralph set us up for 20 years of competitive play. Right now, we need massive NIL$ and we need to go snag the best possible guys out there. Chippas laugh at 23 year olds playing college hockey...chippas won't ever sniff the NAHL...chippas need to run and we need some NOW or else we are never getting back

and if said player is a chippa and its Pat Brisson on the phone....

I have heard the room was not a family...it was by the accounts i heard, completely F'd up

I think these boys are smarter than this...if they aren't...God help them when they have a couple million bucks

sadly, i have heard the same...now that we are back to this topic

he just went rogue?

I'll actually challnege back...do you believe he made a decision to leave UND without talking to his agent or the NHL club that drafted him in the first round? He just went wild child and blew it all up?

never had a source....but I know how the convesations go between chippas and agents.

I wouldn't

you think a first round draft pick makes any decision hockey wise without consulting his agent and the team that owns his rights???

$100k after taxes is $60k..that's rolling in college and not rolling after

not a first round draft pick unless he's really, really dumb

money and.... nobody leaves just for money...and not certainly for $100k....

Sacha left because his agent and the NHL club that owns his rights told him to. That is more concerning

kind of you...I do care about the program and have thrown some influence here and there behind the scenes, but I am in no way a real big deal. I thought about getting involved more seriously in hockey, but I got roped into helping a start-up that I was advising and investing in. The people that want to tap me can tap me and they know...I will be honest and genuine and do my best

my point is this is all related to the new head coach and his staff

I used to tell my mentees that its like riding a bull...first try hang on for 8 seconds, then try give them something to cheer for

The average tenure for a fortune 500 exec is 4 years and change. You really don't last long, and very little is controllable or about you....kinda like a big time coach....although they seem to get the benefit of the doubt longer or the long knives don't come out as quickly

hard to fail with that bar

chyzy could tell you more about the 06-10 chippaz than even me : ) In all seriousness he can, he's a quality guy plugged in all over.

i made it 3 years, 3 years and 2 years

My mentor told me when I got my first big executive job that the one certainty when you get these jobs is that you will be let go at some point.

it was a reply related to someone saying that Dane's first test of leadership will be failing

Nobody I've ever known got great due to their successes. They got great due to their failures.

et to Brute? Brad won a natty, was always considered a great person...yes, if it was a coup, he did deserve better. He deserved an honest disagreement and conversation.
