The most successful programs in terms of NCAA titles recently are UM-Duluth (not a B1G school), Denver (not a B1G school) and Quinnipiac (not a B1G school). This year's Frozen Four features one B1G school (Michigan), one NCHC school (Denver) and two Hockey East schools (BU and BC). Four of the schools I mentioned are small, private schools, one is a four-year public university who plays Division II for all their non-hockey sports and one was from the B1G. Recent success at the national level has primarily been focused on small, private schools. What are they doing to achieve this success? We should look into it.

Because he's making a comparison between 3 coaches. 94-95 would have been a more accurate start date, because that would have then encompassed the coaching careers of both Blais & Hakstol in their entirety; starting at '88 only includes less than a 1/3 of Gasparini's career. But his point still stands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grand Forks has never been a "large market" compared to other places. And yet, we have 8 NCAA title banners hanging in REA, along with 21 conference title banners. I think these private schools can sell their excellent academics to potential recruits. That is especially attractive to kids that know they are unlikely to make hockey a career.

It has nothing to do with "jiggering the numbers" or spinning a narrative; he's making a valid comparison between 3 coaches. No HC making close to half a million/year is above criticism.

Hell, for two consecutive decades between ‘97-16, UND would more often than not being playing in the frozen four. Now, we’re closing in a decade without even making it. 1 hour ago, 90siouxfan said: interesting choice of years, why 97? why not 88? 29 minutes ago, The Sicatoka said: Always spin the narrative to your favor. Why not 88? When things started trending in the wrong direction?? And UND replaced a 3-time national champion coach during a run a no NCAA tournament success??? Thanks for helping make my point, gentlemen! The question was always whether UND's national tournament performance is trending in the right or wrong direction here? For two decades, the program had success in the national tournament. That trend of success started during the 1996-1997 season. Has that trend of success in the national tournament from 97-16 continued during 17-24? No, it hasn't. And your efforts to avoid the question only confirm that you agree.

The Sicatoka Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 If you're going to complain in the TRANSFER PORTAL thread at least let it be about roster make-up/shape/design. UND needs to keep moving from "top 6, bottom 6" to "top 9 plus grind line" design. If the other team has no fear of offense from the bottom six they'll focus all the more on the top six defensively. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
