Have a buddy who plays beer league in GF. Sounds like he is probably the most disliked guy in the league. Does not surprise me. Quote

So he should get as much time as he wants. Right? (extreme sarcasm) We took this approach with Mussman, let us not make that same mistake with Idalski. 2 Quote
jdub27 Posted February 23, 2016 Posted February 23, 2016 Because I really can't think that there is actually any women's hockey who would pay a buyout nor do I think throwing another 6 figures at the women's hockey team is a good idea regardless of how they are doing, I believe that as it sits right now, 2016-2017 is Idalski's final year under his most recent contract extension. 2 Quote

Risky Posted February 23, 2016 Posted February 23, 2016 I am baffled how Bemidji is already better than us in women's hockey after only a couple of years with a new coach. Considering we have the Ralph to recruit too it is hard to believe. 2 Quote

dakotadan Posted February 23, 2016 Posted February 23, 2016 Strange times for the games with the men out of town. Hopefully the ladies can take care of the series on Fri and Sat so they can rest up on Sunday. Quote

I read only 3 schools made a profit in woman's hockey, for everyone else the men's hockey program cover the cost of women's hockey. 3 hours ago, UNDBIZ said: Bring on Scanlan.

I'd actually be surprised if there were any that made a profit, though with how accounting works in college athletics, who knows what that actual definition is. My only point is adding on the cost of the buyout of a coach to what is already a money pit at UND is a bad idea, two years would be even worse. Having to go into the last year of a contract with no extension would send a pretty clear message. Quote

lawkota Posted February 23, 2016 Posted February 23, 2016 He'll get another year but the future is not rosy. This is a junior and senior dominated team. No soph has played minutes this year and the big freshman class has not contributed much. His teams are very strong defensively although they have a reputation for play that pushes the rule book, to put it nicely. Unfortunately, they do not score goals. 1 Quote

Jim would have been on top of the list if he didn't take the Bemidji job. It doesn't look go that UND can beat Minnesota and Wisconsin but can't beat the teams they should beat like Syracuse. 2 Quote
