What did Simpson bring? Honest question.
...and please don't say the boys in the locker room really like him cause if you do this is turning into a dudes "Love Island".
Wasn’t it his first real coaching gig? I actually hope they keep him.

If everyone stays and with Zellers coming in I do.
Zellers is good…but it might take him a little bit. And I can tell you this, his game doesn’t translate to a dump and chase system. See Swanson…or Perron.

I think I stated it the other night, but what I really care about is having the opportunity to win while watching a team of elite talent play a fast, skilled game. Kids I am going to keep watching at the next level like I did Toews, Oshie, Parise, Zajac...none of which who won a Natty but 2 of which combined for 4 cups. With a team like we had back then or like BC has now, you never counted yourself out. Sure we lost in the NCAAs, but talk about fun hockey every friday and saturday night. I like the ride and the skill, not just the result.
Horrible syle of play is why I will never pay to watch a Wild game, and that all stems from Lemaire.
This is what i witnessed this year….mid 2000 mn wild team. Impossible to watch. Zero offensive

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.
One chipper at a time. But you are correct, you need blue chips to get more blue chips. With the camps, I meant get these high enders in there…wine and dine them and their families. Once everyone gets on board the needle really moves.

It’s our time…change is coming. The next coach is going to bring us back I can feel it. They need to tap into the youth ranks…with camps starting asap. There’s a ton of talent coming up right now. Just need to step up the recruiting a bit.

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

Big get if true.
He still hasn't played a single game this season with his back issues.I’ve he’s played one full season out of the past 4. Hate to hear those kind of things.

the interesting part of the hiring committee was the 06-10 chippaz. Let me tell you what they had to say LOL : )
Those are the ones we need…gotta keep them away from MSU.

I haven’t been following along…so who is this Rhett poster saying is going to be the coach? He’s been right most of the time if I’m remembering correctly.

To my knowledge, Grant was not offered a scholarship and was simply expected to walk-on. Was not even recruited until he committed to Minnesota. Sioux fan growing up. Pretty poor foresight* as it cost UND G Potulny, R Potulny and D Irmen. Similarly, Michigan St locking up the oldest Cullen was masterclass as it likely means they get the family (with the younger ones being even better and that's no knock on Brooks who is a really solid hockey player).
Nope he was told he wasn’t good enough to play D1 hockey at North Dakota.

Cayden Lindstrom (2024 Draft 4th overall pick, Columbus, Medicine Hat Tigers, WHL) likely headed to Michigan State, per Aaron Portzline of the Columbus Dispatch
Would be a colossal get.

He may be…the pre-puberty blue chippers are easy to identify…get me the guy that finds the 18-21 yr old late bloomers that are heart and soul winners…need those type of guys too.
We’ve had a lot of those guys. We need more skill.

I can tell you from talking to people in the hockey world, Bent Chyzyk is highly regarded as a great hockey mind and has a great eye for talent. I think it would be a good idea to hire him at part of the staff to be a team GM or ever we want to call it. He was at Breakaway Academy and I know he is well respected, and my brother-in-law speaks highly of him, too. For the record Jackson Blake was a Breakaway hockey player.
Chyzyk is one of the more (if not the most) tapped in guys on the continent as far as youth talent in the 13-20 yr old range.

When UND played ASU, ASU won 4-1 with Homer Gibson in net. UND won the next night 4-3 with Luke in net. That weekend, Gibson looked like the better goalie
Homer’s numbers look great

Not really sure that he was ready TBH, but as a free agent I understand that they wanted to get him into their system.
If you’re talking Macdonald…it literally makes zero sense unless school “wasn’t his thing”. His D was dicey at best for a big dude. The A will eat him up. He’ll end up in the E and eventually low level Europe. It’s odd because Bubs played this guy a ton. Strange move.

chyzyk is as clued into the best 06-12 players around minny and the country as anybody. Those who play with and around him absolutely love him. Hes smart, educated, passionate....he loves Sioux Hockey...has a great little family...if I were dreaming of an assistant, its him
This x1000. They have to start here because recruiting matters almost the most, next is system ran.

I think where I get fired up the most is with comparatives. UND hockey should never be compared to Duluth, St Thomas, Augustana, Minnesota State, Bemidji State, St Cloud State, Long Island, Bentley...we need to be in the conversation every year with BU, BC, Michigan, Michigan State, Minnesota
Finally someone says it…this is exactly where im at.

Agreed.
Laurila coming in, Zmolek returning. We'll see how the rest of the d-corps looks once 4 and others make up their minds.
Bring in Laurila and maybe a JR/SR out of the portal if needed.CHL
