Sunday. First reported by @RhettRingers, but Schlossman also expects that date per his interview on Dom Izzo’s show on Friday.

I got a note from a dad of a chippa just this morning...it was of the Allentown regional and the Penn State student section going nuts.  Zombie nation...We, Are, Penn State...now this guy is from the Philly area, but it resonated...and hurt...everytime we miss a regional in our backyard we miss that free recruiting.  

When the Big House does Mr Brightside and turns all the lights on and off and the students sing along and go crazy....they are recruiting for hockey without even trying.

 

 

I am sure the UND student section chanting sieve and you suck sh!t are big recruiting tools as well.

… now back to more dodgeball…

When Jackson is announced tomorrow, I actually think it opens Chaves to the highest level of criticism if it doesn’t work out / not real change of direction for the program.  Also, Chaves will have to answer the most why questions when it’s announced.

there was pillow fighting on one of their channels the other day, and it wasn't like girls in nightgowns pillow fighting, it was aggressive dudes.

Fair. We’ll be able to tell in a few years if it was the right call. I did edit to add. Hiring Jackson will also lead to most uncomfortable questions at the press conference on Monday.

How would we feel about Mannino?  CC has had difficulty scoring goals as well, but  they have had some nice recruits.  Wonder if he would be an assistant.

if jackson is named tomrrow why wasn't he just named days ago................................................

I wasn’t impressed with what he did with DSM of the USHL but that organization is a dumpster fire itself so idk how well that can be a gauge

Chaves / Jackson / Schlossman rehearsing for the press conference on Monday? Even with softball questions, fascinated to see some of the answers. 

It’s going to be @Siouxdaddy time to shine!

Don't forget the beer song after we score a goal... but we have to actually score a goal.

Does UND usually put out an announcement the day before a new coach is introduced to the public? 

[AJS]

@Siouxdaddy a list of some questions to ask Jackson on Monday?

• Will there be a change in style of play / philosophy from what has been in the past. Ex: Dump and chase vs more free flowing (we can workshop this one)

• In the NIL era, how closely have you been working w/ 1883 collective? Is that going to be an emphasis moving forward.

Yes. Schmidt’s was a few days prior to his press conference. Slightly different since Jackson is already in town. Announcement on Sunday / Press conference Monday.

Will you be keeping the current assistant coaches or will you be looking elsewhere?

For Chaves. Why stay in house, after letting Jackson’s predecessor go. What differences do you expect to see from Jackson.

[Sweethockey]

I’m really hoping for a COMPLETE reset. If DJ is named, which I doubt he will. The gut feeling would be “More of the same philosophy”. I would be disappointed if some of the players would jump ship, but they would need to do what is best for them. The talent on these players is off the charts, they just need a coaching staff that will help them improve and believe in themselves to be successful now and the next step in their careers.

With Dane having been an assistant at UND the last 19 years which includes being the associate head coach under Berry, what then makes Dane a new direction for the program?

[tnt]

I would like to know what the coach thinks should be the yearly expectation of the program and what needs to be done to reinvigorate the fan base.  My expectation is making the tournament, some Frozen Four runs, and perhaps a championship thrown in every 6-7 years.  Basically having UND getting national exposure again, and bringing back the actual culture that made the program and instead of lamenting bad luck, cling to Ralph’s adage, “The harder I work, the luckier I get!”

Rumor has it that Peter Mannino is on a plane to Grand Forks as we speak
