The only thing that really sticks out to me is the conspicuous omission of Dane in a thank you or recommendation...something went down there.

Its important to keep open minds on all of this. Truly. It shouldn't be personal to any of us.

They will work really hard, and they have great skills. They just know they have options.

I will stand up for the character of Bryn Chyzyk. Silly mistake, drinking in college. Crucify him for life...please...while I think he might be a little green for head coach, I would love for him to be on staff to be groomed.

I think the change in the approach is really a big deal right now in hockey. With choices and portals and what not, the Chippaz are in charge, not the coach, unless the coach figures out how to work that psychology in the new word.

chippaz are now also very well aware of NIL...and the biggest chippaz know at age 15/16 that they can pick their schools for the most part. They want it all and a six (or even 7) figure NIL deal on the way to the NHL. Interestingly they see dev as their personal responsibility, but the coach's job to position them for success as an individual and a team on the way to the big contract. Elite scorers don't want to play a role and would rather go play a style than just play for a winner.

If people don't have the BC Bentley game on...you should...

you are correct...chippaz beget chippaz...and they all will know where the guys they respect and love playing with are looking

So Brad is considered a gem of a guy for 40 years, by pretty much everyone, but underneath it all he is anything but? No way. We will also never know, because you don't bring forward things like that unless you want to get into lawfare and burn it all down. Nobody wants that.

I don't think its the camps, that's only going to really attract the locals. What I think they really need to do is demonstrate chippaz and creativity and dazzle on the ice. When your team is not overly talented, you play a certain way as a result.

Now its a party I want to go to!

LOL

yep, but that wasn't a long trip, and he was Bobby's boy...and I am not a fan of Bobby. I look at the head coach of UND hockey the same way I look at a young man coming to pick up my daughter for a date...I am going to be very, very judgmental...fair or not

LOL

throw Red Berenson, Bob Johnson, Gino, Jerry York, and anybody else in too

I'm open minded enough to accept that. He could be the greatest guy and Dean Blais, Herb Brooks, Jack Parker and Mother Theresa incarnate as a coach and human. I just have little to no respect for SCSU and Augustana as either hockey programs or institutions of higher learning. Not trying to poke any bears. Just saying. I have no hate for the man, I have respect for what he's accomplished. I just don't really respect those schools.

In the hierarchy of programs that don't belong in the conversation with UND hockey...Nebraska Omaha would be on my list. I get that people are scouring the coaching ranks for talent, but a lot of names that have popped up are with programs that should not be uttered in the same sentence as Fighting Sioux.

Nightingale has done a very good job with that age group. When he was at the program elite guys lit it up....

the interesting part of the hiring committee was the 06-10 chippaz. Let me tell you what they had to say LOL : )

i wonder if Jeffrey Epstein has been involved in any of this...lol...gotta make some light of the craziness that only a fan board for this team can create...of which I am a part...good, bad, sober, drunk and everything in between : )

when you make more than $400k and less than $1.5M...renting a boat is the best option, unless of course you live on the water

please state for the record your name, rank, and current billet

found the letter...I think despite criticisms of performance, that letter solidifies what we all knew of Brad Berry. A genuinely good person and a man who did his absolute best for the program as he saw it. #Fighting Sioux Family

I heard about some letter too...where can this be found?

what am I missing? what did he do to prove this?
