He was pretty miffed at the portal,, i know that. Would find a diamond in the rough, and a big name team would come in a swoop them up. That's the reason he finally left, i guess Quote

Yep. Although if some of his better teams hadn't choked on their way to national championships, he might have survived. 1 Quote
Popular Post brianvf Posted March 23 Popular Post Posted March 23 My only requests for the new coach: Go back to the Speed Kills era of Sioux hockey. No more chipping it off the glass as a breakout strategy. No more dump and chase as a zone entry strategy. Let the skill players USE their skill. 2 10 Quote
crb1 Posted March 23 Posted March 23 Hopefully a new change can also bring about some momentum with the collective and some needed dollars. Quote

Feom the article: Quote His .642 career winning percentage ranks third among the 64 active NCAA head coaches... Three of the seven best teams in program history were Berry’s — 2016, 2020 and 2021. Berry won five league titles, tying Dean Blais for the most of any UND coach. Quote

Who knew that Tucker Poolman's name would come up in a Brad Berry is fired article. You are not exaggerating at all. Listed every accomplishment he had as a coach and everything that went wrong.

There is no point in recruiting skilled players if you aren't going to utilize their talents. And I think that might have been hurting us in recruiting in recent years. 1 3 Quote

Get a new coach that utilizes those players and their skillsets and you know the chippah commits will follow. 1 Quote
Cratter Posted March 24 Posted March 24 Quote UND hasn’t often gone outside the family for head coaching hires. Since 1959, UND has only hired one head coach who wasn’t previously an assistant with the program — Rube Bjorkman in 1968. So only question is which UND family member will be coaching UND hockey next year? 1 Quote

Popular Post The Sicatoka Posted March 24 Popular Post Posted March 24 The game has changed. WMU/DU last night should’ve made it obvious to anyone paying attention. UND must make a quantum leap to catch back up. This hire must be capable of that leap. 1 5 Quote

BusinessSoot Posted March 24 Posted March 24 You would have to imagine conversations have been quietly going on for weeks, if not months with potential candidates. With portal opening next Sunday, is it possible a deal already in place with Hakstol? Would make a lot of sense in my opinion. 1 2 Quote
