One thing I recall about Simpson is his play in the national semifinal game, one that ended in bitter fashion, his senior year.  MN was fairly impressive that year, and in that game they kept setting a guy up on the back door and trying to thread a pass through to him, especially on the PP.  There were several times it looked like it was going to connect, but at the last moment Simpson got his stick on the puck.  I felt at the time he single handedly kept that game in reach.  

He did not quite have NHL feet, but had a good head for the game.  Last year's squad gave up quite a few beautiful goals, which are not pretty if you're on the wrong side of them, things like those back door plays.  So if he can help the defensemen shut that down, as he did, then sign me up.

Especially relevant for the young group coming in.   We should probably expect less O from our D, at least until the break.  Except on PP.

I'm fine with the hire, but aren't there players older than he is still? 

Glad to see him back.

Wilbur bringing the ice.

Count me as happy to add youth to the coaching staff, in the form of a proven leader as well.  

What's next for Jason Ulmer?  Wishing him all the best in whatever comes next.

Yeah, makes you wonder if our faceoff proficiency could suffer a bit.   Puck possession is huge, especially on special team units.  Love to have Simpson back, but will genuinely miss what Ulmer has brought to the program.

Does this mean Ulmer is gone?

I can't remember what incoming Freshman was older than 21 year old senior captain Simpson?  

Whoever knows without looking wins my wife and kids....

Ulmer can still run the hockey academy.

No, since they allowed another paid position, the volunteer is eliminated.

[ksl_sioux4ever]

They could name him some volunteer something else though
