shep Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Brad E. Schlossman @SchlossmanGF 1m1 minute ago Hearing that Brad Berry is very likely to be the next UND men's head hockey coach. I won't believe this until GF Hockey confirms. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoneySIOUX Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Makes the most sense without question...........not saying it is the best hire possible though. My thoughts exactly. I don't hate it. It's definitely the most stable pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZSIOUX Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 As long as Guentzel doesn't bring the "Minnesotans only" rule, I'd be happy to have him. Eades and Hastings would also be solid. Hopefully Berry has what it takes to step up. Ha the roster is heading that way as we speak along with the nodak kids with few Canucks sprinkled in. He shifted recruiting last few years big time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamStrait Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Blais recommended Hak when he left - I wonder who Hak has recommended? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siouxfan512 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Posted these names in the other thread. UNDs open record search could stop some candidates from applying..... remember the football search. Top Choices Dave Tippett Why don't we steal one back from the NHL? Enrico Blasi ( I know this guy doesn't have UND connections but he is a fantastic coach. Not sure if he could be taken from Miami but Faison should give him a call.) Sandelin Jackson Berry Next Tier Eades Blais (Not sure how many years he has left) Darkhorses Frank Serratore Mike Hastings Gwoz Mike Eaves I would NEVER want Mike Eaves to be a part of this program. That would be pretty much the worst move UND could ever make. I don't think this name should even be thrown around as a joke. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UNDvince97-01 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 My dear lord, now Faison and Daniella Irle have TWO "Bubba" head coaches in the athletic department?!?!? Heads are going to explode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siouxfan512 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 My thoughts exactly. I don't hate it. It's definitely the most stable pick. Agreed, not an exciting pick, but it makes sense, and the guys certainly has experience. I always liked Hak, but I do hope that with a new coach we can get a new look on the powerplay, because I always though that was one area where Haks system struggled. We'll see, should be an interesting week or so, until they make an annoncement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homer Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Blais recommended Hak when he left - I wonder who Hak has recommended? I was just typing this same thing. Hak had to give a recommendation, Berry would be an easy transition for the program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UND-RedSox fan Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 With how quickly the athletic department is moving according to Schlossman, I'm guessing Buccigross had bad info with his tweet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiouxScore Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I like the Berry pick keeps things nice and stable. Hopefully Jackson will be back with him and it will be interesting to see who they go after for the other assistant spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNDColorado Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 When I saw the news this morning the first name that popped into my mind was Berry. I believe he will do a fine job. Dave Tippitt also intrigues me but doubtful give the recent updates from Schloss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Ray77 Posted May 18, 2015 Author Popular Post Share Posted May 18, 2015 Get sandy back Our phones are backed up Donors want to know Folks we aren't sure yet Sandy is at the top of our list Has done more with less Shows how out of touch gfhockey is. Not only was Hak leaving a shock to him and the GOBC, but they're ready to announce Berry as the new HC today and you had no clue on any of it. You guys are still calling potential coaches, and Faison already has his replacement. It's like the tail is chasing the dog with you GOBC'ers. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
