sioux24/7 Posted March 23 Posted March 23 How much does a USHL GM make? I really like the idea of Chyzyk coming here in a GM role.

I wonder if any other NCAA programs have a GM role? Or if those responsibilities all fall on the coaching staff. UND needs to make it happen. 1
.357 Posted March 23 Posted March 23 Firing a beloved coach is never easy, but sometimes the hardest decisions are the best ones. Just can't muster any excitement if nothing changes with the coaching staff. UND could still have a very talented team next year with the more mature defense & some quality additions at forward, but with the archaic system, bizarro line-ups & favoritism for certain players things won't progress past average. 2

Heard from a guy, who heard from a guy. I was told when Eades was given the job in Fargo as GM, he was given 160k to split between him and a coach. That was how long ago? But it told me there isn't alot of money going around in the USHL for coaches and GMs.
phat007 Posted March 23 Posted March 23 I think Berry will finish out his contract(which he has 1 year left I believe) and then will be let go. The ONLY way, and I mean the ONLY way, that he would get an extension next year is he takes the team to at the least the Frozen Four. Even then, I dunno. I would say that he would have to win the Frozen Four to give him a better chance at either getting an extension or getting some offers from some other teams.

UND would get trashed big time if they let him go if he takes them to the frozen four or wins it all. If they are going to move on from him, they need to do it now (I don’t think UND will).

If they are going to move on from him, they need to do it now (I don’t think UND will). Yes, they are only setting themselves up for more pain down the road with any possibility of an extension, because Berry won’t change his stripes and clings to the defensive style he knows. Most coaches get that most games are won with special teams, and if you are going to be the team defending all the time rather than attacking, you are going to be the ones with more penalties. UND has to decide if getting in the tournament 50% of the time with no tournament runs is acceptable. I’m guessing from how bad our athletic programs are, they think it is. 1
nascar99 Posted March 23 Posted March 23 Feels like Berry (& staff) have a specific way they want to play but then don't really recruit for that style, leading to us seeing whatever the hell that was this season (and many seasons lately). They recruit pretty well, but they're not get many elite blue chippers whose talent just overwhelms you every game, nor are they getting many older grinders who have NCAA ready games right when they come in at 20 or 21 years old. Not good when McLaughlin looked very off most of this year, don't know what to think of him at this point 1

Popular Post AJS Posted March 23 Popular Post Posted March 23 So, Schlossman isn’t going to ask / pose the question about Berry’s future? At least Miller asked Bubba following the Illinois State game. I hope more and more realize what a disservice he provides to his readers. Can you ask Chaves a question? It’s gotten completely embarrassing. 5

TNF Posted March 23 Posted March 23 9 hours ago, cberkas said: Providence is the only one I know of Is the GM type of role different from a “Director of Hockey Operations”? I was trying to research which teams have a GM type of role and was surprised when UND was on the top of the list. I do remember when this was originally announced but somewhat assumed it got phased out. I was wrong in that assumption; https://fightinghawks.com/sports/mens-ice-hockey/roster/coaches/patrick-swanson/566 “Swanson, who had spent his previous five seasons as UND’s equipment manager, oversees the program’s day-to-day hockey operations, including budgeting and spending, travel arrangements and video analysis and scouting breakdown.” I would love to see carving out scouting, NIL, and player development under a new GM role. The portal, NIL, and CHL eligibility…are all new frontiers since this role was created. Winning on this front is going to be a differentiator. 1
