tnt Posted July 31, 2004 Posted July 31, 2004 I would tend to lean toward a candidate that can help bring our powerplay to the next level. Any thoughts on who might specialize on the powerplay? I would have thought being the offensive star Steve Johnson was at UND, he might be the ticket. Quote
#1siouxfan22 Posted July 31, 2004 Posted July 31, 2004 I wonder if Mike Prpich has seen the tape of the early '80's UND/Wisc water bottle game? If Cary is hired, he would end up being the forwards coach. It could be a real interesting year with Cary coaching Mike. What happened in that game? Quote
tnt Posted July 31, 2004 Posted July 31, 2004 Mike Newberry from Wisconsin squirted Cary Eades a few times with the water bottle as he skated by, so Eades went into the Wisconsin bench after him. A brawl ensued. Quote
#1siouxfan22 Posted July 31, 2004 Posted July 31, 2004 Thats awesome! Prpichs fights last year was pretty good. Quote
U2Bad1 Posted July 31, 2004 Posted July 31, 2004 Im confused. First a coach is hired without any attempt at an external search. Then an assistant coach is hired over a more than capable coach without even being interviewed? Quote
tnt Posted July 31, 2004 Posted July 31, 2004 Oops, meant John Newberry from Wisconsin, must have had Prpich on my mind when fighting came to mind. Quote
sprig Posted July 31, 2004 Posted July 31, 2004 Now the Virg article reads that Johnson (and Kallay) did not apply, although the WDAZ report said that Johnson was an applicant. Does the GF media have a clue? Quote
PCM Posted July 31, 2004 Posted July 31, 2004 I talked to Johnson on Friday before the news release was posted on the Lincoln Stars Web site. He told me that he didn't get the job because it had been offered to someone else. However, that might have been an assumption on his part. The position requires a bachelor's degree and I've been told that Johnson doesn't have one. He may have been rejected because he doesn't meet the minimum requirements. Wednesday was that last day to submit application for the job, not Thursday, as stated in the Herald article. That's why WDAZ was able to list the applicants on Thursday. Johnson was on the list. He never told me that he hadn't applied. Quote

He never told me that he hadn't applied. Interesting. You'd think that Johnson, if he has an interest in coaching college hockey, would finish his degree (if he doesn't have one). The WDAZ broadcast did say there was one more day of accepting applicants (reported on Thursday night), so apparently that was not accurate. Quote
PCM Posted July 31, 2004 Posted July 31, 2004 The closing date on the ad posted on UND's Web site is July 28. Quote

sprig Posted July 31, 2004 Posted July 31, 2004 Anyone have a clue who is on the list? It would be nice to see who was on the list. Look on page 4 of this thread. I posted the list from the WDAZ newscast. Quote
farce poobah Posted July 31, 2004 Posted July 31, 2004 Eades is an excellent leader, motivator, and has the intensity to make it work. I think if he wants the job, its his. Quote
jloos Posted July 31, 2004 Posted July 31, 2004 Eades is an excellent leader, motivator, and has the intensity to make it work. I think if he wants the job, its his. I agree. But the 70's porn star mustache has to go. WTF does only Highway Patrol officers can get away with those. Quote
ZParisefan_11 Posted August 1, 2004 Posted August 1, 2004 I agree. But the 70's porn star mustache has to go. WTF does only Highway Patrol officers can get away with those. Quote
spfreak Posted August 2, 2004 Posted August 2, 2004 Speaking of the water bottle incident, does anyone know where I can get a copy of that on video along with the Jim Archibald one where he is running on the cement in his skates in the beer garden (is that the same game??). Another couple that I would like a copy of is the last game at the old ralph when Andy Schneider beat the s**t out of the poor Manitoba guy, and then the Commodore fight with Alex Brooks of Wisconsin when Commie shattered Brooks' nose. I will pay $$. Quote
#1siouxfan22 Posted August 2, 2004 Posted August 2, 2004 while your at it how bout the prpich fight that was a great one Quote
terbele Posted August 2, 2004 Posted August 2, 2004 Any new rumors today on the position being filled? Quote
Windsor Posted August 2, 2004 Posted August 2, 2004 I heard from a friend in Warroad that Eades handed in his resignation today. Not sure how reliable but he does have some contacts with Warroad hockey. Quote
Greenbayguy Posted August 2, 2004 Posted August 2, 2004 I also heard from two sources in the Warroad district that Eades has resigned, and they are seeking his replacement. A couple of candidates in the school district have been asked to assume the AD role. Quote
PCM Posted August 2, 2004 Posted August 2, 2004 Pat Sweeney reported on WDAZ this evening that the new assistant hockey coach would probably be announced tomorrow. He said that it's likey to be Eades. Quote
Goon Posted August 3, 2004 Posted August 3, 2004 Pat Sweeney reported on WDAZ this evening that the new assistant hockey coach would probably be announced tomorrow. He said that it's likey to be Eades. Tim and Swig were pretty funny this morning, its sounds from their information they had that it would be Eades too. Apparently, Eades is just as intense as Berry and Hak and Tim talked about the Gorilla X3 coming out between periods if things didn't go right. I think it might be a good mix. Quote
The Sicatoka Posted August 3, 2004 Posted August 3, 2004 Has another anonymous source spoken to the Grand Forks Herald? Quote
sprig Posted August 3, 2004 Posted August 3, 2004 Has another anonymous source spoken to the Grand Forks Herald? Appears they are now being careful about the unnamed source quotes. At any rate, Eades will be a super addition to the coaching staff, with some great recruiting connections in Canada, Minnesota, and the USHL. Still odd that the WDAZ report had Johnson as an applicant, although the GFH says he did not apply. Quote
