Who are some examples of successful NCAA head coaches who came from the OHL or WHL? Not saying success hasn’t happened, I just can’t think of any examples myself.

Seems like the more common and safe route is going with an assistant from another college team or a quickly-rising young coach from the USHL or similar. 

From what I’ve seen they move up to AHL or NHL positions or to other CHL teams. It would take some time going through all the current NCAA coaches on each team to see if anyone has moved from CHL to NCAA. I want to say off the top of my head, the head coaches at Clarkson and BGSU came from the CHL.

He didn’t win anything at the USHL level and he was at Duluth for their run but also for down years. Time for you to leave Judy’s because you don’t make sense.

You said he wins everywhere he goes. That statement isn’t true.

And you don’t answer my simple questions bud

Heater may be too old, he played for Gino's if I recall.  Former players/current coaches that played for Blais?  Or would they also be too old to connect with the current youth? 

 

referring to another comment about Blais ruling the locker room. Would Blais type of "boss" work with the current generation of players?

I was thinking more of connecting with players and maintaining control over locker room...   whatever Berry says/does with the players doesn't seem to have an effect on what fans see on the ice.  I didn't get to watch much of Blais' teams but Hak seemed to get more out of players.  But style of play as you noted could be major issue, putting round pegs in square holes.  Makes one wonder if the "prep for 200' nhl player" tales precedent over win the games?   Also could Brad have an infinity towards "roll 4 lines" regardless of results hoping eventually the tactic will bring results?

Would you rather run gun score or dump the puck in and use your body checking every play

But also run gunning would leave your goalie out to dry a few times per gsne

goslie recruiting is imperative. That is something Berry never had

I’m not sticking up for Berry or even saying he should get an extension. What I’m saying is your gibberish just doesn’t make any sense.

Blais game eventually got figured out. It’s not like he lit up the record books in Omaha.

And by extension Karl - so when he came on full time I thought our goalie worries would be over.  So far it's portal portal portal.

There aren't many examples of CHL to NCAA (Dallas Ferguson and the BGSU coach are the only current ones I can think of) but it's a whole new ballgame and is definitely worth exploring. Just hoping we don't lose Boisvert or Zellers because of the change.

Is that why UND has so many turnovers at the blue line going the other way?  They are hardly a grind team anymore like they were under Hakstol.  Don’t cycle the puck as much either.

Have we had unreal goaltending…no. But that’s far from our issue.

Whatever wins....   but less sarcasticly,  Whatever you have the personnel for, and will work best against the opponent...  

 

Flexibility, observation,  & insight.   Easy words, less easy to use
