The New WCHA 3, Revenge of the Sieve (2013-14)

Guess who might be back in the WCHA, if UAH can come up with some coin.

Wow, talk about a downgrade. It'd be great if he could turn them around. Definitely a challenge, and the winter weather is a bonus.

The Irony of even the possibility of Gwoz ending up back in the WCHA is amazing.

Seriously. Orchestrate the whole implosion of the WCHA, inadvertently kill the CCHA, be on record as hating trips to Anchorage, Bemidji, and Houghton...


... get kicked out of the league he formed and now could travel to Anchorage, Bemidji, and Houghton regularly.

Couldn't happen to a bigger d-bag.

All schadenfreude aside, if Gwoz gets/takes the job, I think he adds a fair amount of street cred to the nWCHA, even if he just views UAH as a stopgap until a bigger reclamation project comes along.

I can just see all the signs now at games if he gets the UAH job........ Students sections could have fun with this one!!!!

That should be the concern for UAH. This hire will be our fourth coach in seven years. We really need someone who's thinking of building the program long-term and not as a short-term stopgap.

If Gwozdecky wants to put in that time, wonderful. But it doesn't do UAH any good if he starts looking at the first Big Ten or NCHC job that becomes available.

He'd be one last place finish at MSU or UW away from bolting as soon as next summer.

That would be what UAH would have to think. Hopefully, he'll set them up to be a nice place to be for some younger coach who's looking to put down roots for a while to set up shop after him.

If UAH decides to upgrade their facilities by millions of dollars with a coach like Gwoz in my opinion the sky's the limit. This market has the capability to be a huge destination for kids who are sick and tired of the cold.

Is UAH D1 in all sports? Even if they are a low major, it could make all the difference in funding both Gwoz's salary and some of the improvements he would want. The tricky part though, is that UAH does not own their arena.

They are D2.
