I am not 100% sure about that.  
 

I remember when the Ivy schools would brag about their hockey players not being on athletic scholarship.  
Turns out many players somehow received scholarships set up by alumni that shockingly went to really good hockey players.  It was amazing 

Anyway, seems that money finds a way to go to really good athletes at colleges…

Niece played basketball at a D3 private school that didn't provide athletic scholarships.  Like you said, they found other scholarships via the educational path to compensate.

Came right from a player, so I'll take him at his word.

That player also had to pay for Zeev when he left and didn't pay for his food. I'd expect a high end player getting NIL to pay.

I like that. Don’t know if it would happen, would he want to come to a place here he applied and didn’t get the job only to an associate HC. I guess we will see.

That is a valid point, but I wonder if the fact that Herter and Jackson were teammates and the fact that is their alma mater doesn't change that.  That has been my hunch since they didn't open up the 2nd position yet. Have to wait for Herter's season to be over.

The longer it isn't announced the more I think it could possibly be Herter...

My thoughts exactly. Seems odd to wait to open the job this long. I get they’re not in a “rush” but I don’t know feels like there’s a better reason.

I was on fb team for one year at St John's back in the 80's.  It was the same back then.  No athletic scholarships allowed but the best fb players magically got academic or other scholarships to be there.

Daughter attended Columbia, which doesn’t award merit scholarships.   They made a lot of money available to her by way of other grants.   Schools will find a way if they want you.

Hadn't considered that angle but this feels very plausible. 

Not only the NCAAs but the USHL and other junior leagues (or CHL?) are still playing so maybe he's waiting for any number of attractive options to finish up their seasons (St. Clair, Smaby, Herter, etc...)

Yeah D3 schools just pump up the financial aid and grants to where most if not all is eventually covered.

Maybe the reason they haven't offered a goalie yet is because Herter is bringing Hammer and Grant with him...

Can you imagine having that conversation with those kids as they gear up for WMU's first ever trip to the Frozen Four?  :blink:

I would say this is not true, at least in the MIAC and WIAC schools. I knew and played with several high-end NAHL guys who decided to hang up the skates due to the cost of school to play DIII.

Granted it has been a while but I played at a D3 school and that is how it was then.

My guess is you are the only one on this board who cares about their nationality.  I will just take the beat coach and he can root for whoever he wants during world junior tournaments

Thank you, with what is happening now why dump on Canadians

I would think the conversation between Fernwielder & Herter at the moment is tense.  Anybody that's anybody is reading this site.  Elon is probably looking at taking under his wing. Fly, Jim, Fly... 

And totally botched that quote thing a ma jig, sorry Elon, I will be better.

Having an American coach that can be a WJC coach is a plus.  Didn't someone mention years back that a Canadian coaching in ncaa is not likely to coach WJC Canadian team?
