You may be right,, I thought it hadd been a couple years. 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 Sunday at 11:58 PM Popular Post Posted Sunday at 11:58 PM 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

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 Monday at 12:04 AM Posted Monday at 12:04 AM 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 Monday at 12:12 AM Popular Post Posted Monday at 12:12 AM 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 Monday at 12:15 AM Posted Monday at 12:15 AM 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
