crosby_87 Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 Just to let some of you know, I have received word that Brad Berry will be coaching the Manitoba Moose this season. Sorry no link, but I think it will be announced possibly tomorrow. If this is true(I trust my source), then it is a very tough loss for UND. Quote
AZSIOUX Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 so does eades move up and then obviously there would be a position to fill. i guess the departures keep coming..dammmmmmmmmmmm, berry is a hell of a coach and for those of you who ask CROSBY87, the source will not be revealed so save your breath on that one, to bad if true but best of luck as well to berry Quote
Diggler Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 and for those of you who ask CROSBY87, the source will not be revealed so save your breath on that one, to bad if true but best of luck as well to berry It doesn't take breath, only keystrokes so.....who's the source?!?!?!??!?!? Who would likely replacements be? Besides me that is. Quote
Sioux-cia Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 It doesn't take breath, only keystrokes so.....who's the source?!?!?!??!?!? Link, link, The only bad part of having the best college hockey program in the country, is that everyone wants what we have and will do and will give anything to get 'em. Quote
jk Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 I have heard from many people what a genuinely nice guy Berry is, and how evident that becomes to recruits and their families. Berry has been a huge part of UND's success as the program transitioned from Blais to Hakstol. If true, and I imagine it is, this is indeed a tough one for UND. It's also exciting, for Berry as he moves on, and for the program, as it searches for and adds a new presence. Quote
skateshattrick Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 The owner of the Manitoba Moose is a UND grad, Mark Chipman, so it is not surprising that he would look to UND for a coaching candidate. Mark Chipman was a backup QB for the Sioux football team and also attended law school at UND. Quote
HKNTSMN Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 Congratulations if it is true. Has there been a press release as yet. I think Brad Berry is a great guy and a good teacher. Good Luck Brad!!!! Jason is looking for a good place to play this year.!!!!! Quote
dagies Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 In everything I've read and heard it seems Berry is an awfully important part of the UND coaching staff. I think this is a very big loss. But you have to be happy for a great coach and a seemingly great guy from everything I've gathered. He will leave big shoes to fill. Ouch. Quote
Siouxman Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 According to this link, they just named Scott Arniel as head coach in early July. http://www.moosehockey.com/news/press_releases.php Evidently if the story on Brad is true, it isn't as head coach. Quote
crosby_87 Posted July 31, 2006 Author Posted July 31, 2006 I never said he would be head coach. I'm not 100% on what type of coach he will be, but I'm fairly certain my source said Manitoba Moose. Quote
Sioux Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 this is true. i know because dave hakstol called me this weekend and asked me if i was interested in the job...i cant though because i have to go to school. Quote
AZSIOUX Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 It doesn't take breath, only keystrokes so.....who's the source?!?!?!??!?!? Who would likely replacements be? Besides me that is. GOOD POINT Quote
82SiouxGuy Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 Who would likely replacements be? Besides me that is. If you get the job will you be giving up your new season tickets? Quote
Diggler Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 If you get the job will you be giving up your new season tickets? Not only that, I'll be buying Don Cherry plaid jackets and the huge collared shirts. Quote
fs1 Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 its true and it is the Moose, seems to have happened fast, from the start of the process to it coming out already, I believe they werent the only ones interested in him, it takes great coaches to get great players and we shouldnt be surprised that they have options also, it will be a huge loss for the program, he played a large part in the recruitment and development of all the players,from the top talent to the everyday role players, UND needs to make sure Hakstol is taken care of or he may look at his options also, if you saw the contract that Eaves and Sandlin recently signed, their level of compensation is way beyond Hakstol's, Eaves and his assistants recently all got big raises,yes they won a national title, but Hasktol and his staff have 2 final fours in thier first 2 years, if our athletic director cut back on adding his "assistants to this and that", UND maybe could compensate the coaches at the level they deserve and the level of other top tier programs, not sure if that is why he left, but it all plays a part in the decision process,as it would for any of us in our professions I for one wouldnt be surprised to see Hakstol move on if things dont change Quote
siouxnami Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 Ouch... Crosby_87 has been a good source for information in the past, so I don't doubt it. Ouch... I suspect that this will have a noticable effect on the D-men development that we have grown so accustomed to. Quote
fs1 Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 when Sioux-cia commented about the bad part of having the best college hockey program and others wanting what we have and doing what it takes to get them, its true and when it comes to the players there is only so much you can do to keep them, but when it comes to the coaches,there is a lot more you can do and UND needs to make sure they step up and do everything they can to keep them, with our athletic director and things as they are now, I am not sure that was the case with Brad Berry Quote
wakeboarding_crazed Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 Brad Berry is leaving the UND program, got a coaching job in Canada. My source is Berry's wife, so quite confident it's true. Should very well be announced tomorrow. Quote
Johnny Ringo Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 I thought I heard a while back Lee Goren saying he would love to come back and be part of the program in some way, maybe this could be an opening for him. Quote
Goon Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 Just to let some of you know, I have received word that Brad Berry will be coaching the Manitoba Moose this season. Sorry no link, but I think it will be announced possibly tomorrow. If this is true(I trust my source), then it is a very tough loss for UND. Yeah since he is the heart and sole of the UND defense. I hope we can find a quality coach that is just as good as Brad when it comes to mentoring defensemen. Quote
Goon Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 I thought I heard a while back Lee Goren saying he would love to come back and be part of the program in some way, maybe this could be an opening for him. Lee Goren just signed another contract with Vancover/Winnepeg. Moose Home Page Quote
redwing77 Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 If it is true, then I wish Berry the best. I wish he would stay but it seems like everyone wants a piece of the Sioux right now. In any case, I hope the Sioux go after Steve Johnson as a replacement. Quote
