Is this a dream recruiting class?

Who is Brandon Bostick? I don't see him listed on UND's coaching list. https://fightinghawks.com/sports/football/coaches

Plus, if you’re one of the top two seeds in the NCAA you’ll still have to get past a mid-pairwise team in one shot. -

Isn't this viewed mainly a by UND as a recruiting tool for the visiting players? To me, it'd be silly to not showcase the Ralph and facilities to the best American hockey players not yet in college. -
I know this is considered a selling point, but sounds like they're being babied to me! I mean, come on, I thought we wanted our guys to be tough. Even Coach Schmidt told his son to stick his face in the ND wind after they landed at the airport.

I would say Chyzyk and Jackson are hitting it out of the park right now. Maybe there'll be more than one F-Hawk logo on the ice in Vegas next April.
-
Did Chyzyk start immediately after being hired?

Great listen. Thanks.

My UND alum aunt & uncle from Fargo visited over last Christmas, and they had heard at their church that a NDSU football player (I think it was the Lance kid) was getting big bucks to play and they were appalled. I had to explain to them that UND was doing the same thing (maybe not big bucks, but bucks anyway), and they wondered how this was legal, so I had to explain the Alston court decision. Not that I am righteous enough to shake a moral first about this, but as much as I don't really love it, I am in favor of what the 1883 Collective is trying to do to make UND relevant in the modern era of college athletics. -
Thank you! This is what I’ve been saying since Berry was fired. My first choice was Raboin because of his connections to winning with Carle and USA Hockey. US born NHL players are trending upwards.

Is the following a true or false statement: Exposure via a known brand > conference/school $$ from a streaming service only its specific watchers have. And for the record, my interest in ESPN includes spots on ESPN/ESPN2/ESPNU, not just ESPN+
-
Is this still hope for Raboin?? All kidding aside, I do like this line of thinking. Herter would probably be a good get as well.
-
Speaking of Starman, is there an heir apparent for analyzing hockey at that age level (College, World Juniors)? I mean, he has been on about every channel that's ever covered that level of hockey, either as a live-action color analyst or an in-studio analyst, for many years. He obviously loves it, so hope he'll do it for a while longer.

Alex H. is a good, smooth broadcaster, but not a great PxP guy, in any sport, really. He's probably the best that Midco and CBSSN can get to do the games they are responsible for calling, which is definitely good enough. I like Alex, but some of his rehashed phrases wear on me ("IN THE BACK OF THE NET!!!!!!")
-
I would hope part of the negotiations would a weekly game (or series) on one of the broadcast channels.
-
Yes, I know. That's why I feel a partnership with ESPN would be beneficial for growing interest. Even getting more NHL fans interested would be a big start.
-
Not sure it's outside the box. Outside of an OTA network, I can't think of a better platform to get college hockey on TV across the country than ESPN. To do that for more than 2 weekends a year would be huge for the sport.
-
If that happened, would that essentially dissolve NCHC.tv? And that would still have the NCHC needing a "TV" partner for games of the week, conference tournament games, etc. (Like CBSSN is now)?
-
Would a regular season partnership with the network that broadcasts the NCAA tournament help drive interest? I can't say for certain, but I don't think it would hurt.
-
I think the B1G has TV deals with 3 of the 4 major networks (NBC, CBS, and Fox). As for their content on cable, it may only be B1G Network. Don't take my word as 100% gospel on this, though.
-
If ESPN is interested, as indicated by the original poster, I don't know why you wouldn't try to make that happen. A co-worker who watches a lot of college basketball noted to me a while ago that Big Ten basketball games are hardly ever on ESPN anymore, so maybe the Big Ten has priced them out, and they are looking for cheaper content. A brand name broadcaster like ESPN might want content on nights that are non-traditional to college hockey, which I wouldn't like.
-
Hope he's still interested after interviewing for the head job. A USA Hockey connection would be awesome, IMO.
-
I guess I walked into that one.
-
https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/unds-search-for-associate-head-mens-hockey-coach-begins No mention of names in this article. I know there's a lot of Herter fans on this site, and that would be ok with me. What are some other names out there, do you think?

Starman and Saski did color and interviews for Westwood One radio coverage of the Frozen Four.
