LSSU Laker Hockey

Re: LSSU Laker Hockey

TS's second choice would probably be Francis Anzalone, so it's probably better to ask what his/her third choice is.

Re: LSSU Laker Hockey

Bill, thats why i added the third choice.

Re: LSSU Laker Hockey

The new governor wants to put a end to the the tax credit you get when you donate to the states universities. This i think will hurt the smaller ones like LSSU quite a bit. It would in my oppinion put more inportance on getting buts in the seats to create more revenue.

Re: LSSU Laker Hockey

Frank Anzalone is doing very well, building a solid program in Quad City and they are climbing the standings and more and more people are seeing once again why he is a coaching legend in college, junior and now professional hockey.

Actually, Quad City is falling in the standings. They were in first place in their division. Now they are in 5th.

Re: LSSU Laker Hockey

Very interesting. Thank you for your input.

I was talking about this year and Quad City. I helped you out Coach Dopey with Frank Anzalone's amazing six year run. You might want to focus on the powerplay and accomplishing win number 11 on the season, however.

You are a good sheep Dopey Baaaaaaaaaaaker.

Re: LSSU Laker Hockey

If JR's contract were not renewed the search committee needs to find a young experienced coach who is hungry for an opportunity like LSSU can and would provide. I am optimist that there is such coach out there who would like to coach at Lake Superior State University. An example would be; to the chagrin to many of you Michigan fans I am an Ohio State football fan. Look at their coach and program and where he came from. OSU dipped into Division II to a very successful program at Youngstown State and nabbed Jim Tressel. Lake State needs to dip into the lower ranks and pick someone who has run a championship program.

I heard the name of Joe Shawnan a Northern Michigan Assistant Coach. Hire Rick Cromely as a consultant to find an up and coming coach; maybe he would like to help out his alma mater. How about an up and up and coming coach like Ron Fogarty from Adrian College the first coach at Adrian; after 4 years he has a winning percentage of .892 with a record of 98-11-2; http://www.uscho.com/stats/history/a...key/2010-2011/. Quite frankly looking at his bio he might be what the doctor ordered.

I think it's important that our next coach be an outsider. I understand that it is important to bring in someone who understands the fabric of LSSU hockey in the Soo. However, this team hasn't had an outsider named head coach since Bill Selman in 1981. Anzalone was an assistant to Selman when he was hired, Jackson was then hired after serving as Frank's assistant, then Borek was promoted to head coach from assistant under Jackson, then Anzalone came back, and now Roque. We've picked from the same tree now for 30 years. Granted we had a lot of success from that tree but it's time for a change. An outsider will bring in fresh ideas and a new outlook. If this team is going to return to it's glory days it's going to take some creativity and outside thinking. I wouldn't mind following the path of Western Michigan and the UNO, both hired coaches from the USHL ranks. I think having a coach close to either the USHL or NAHL would be beneficial to our recruiting in either of the leagues.

Don't leave us Truth. I am serious when I say I like your posts. Without you we are left with a bunch of fanboys ( and girls) posting in an echo chamber. Your diatribes and stale arguments are consistently amusing. By the way, I like it when you call me Coach Cooper.

Promises, Promises... You've said this before and yet you keep coming back.
And we have no idea why, because since your boy Nik was booted from the team a few years ago, you have no vested interests in LSSU any more. So don't worry about "those people up there" and "our little school" anymore. Just stick to your word for once and finally go away, since you're obviously not a Laker Hockey fan and never add anything of interest or value to a discussion about LSSU hockey.

Very cheap shot and quite disrespectful towards the player who had to give up hockey just because a coach didn't want to have him around.
If the identification is correct, I can forgive quite a few things from the Truth Band.

I assume you guys are talking about Nik Sellers? I wasn't around the program when he was, what happened?

I only have second hand info from players and an assistant coach. Probably the only two who know are the player and head coach. Sounds like it wasn't a good fit. I will always fondly remember his game winner against Michigan at the Norris Center. He seemed to be a player with potential, above average speed and hands, that didn't develop.
