      Frank Anzalone built a small college into a national contender with winning an NCAA Championship in 1988 and his players responsible for the 1992 title and laying the foundation for another one in 1994.

      He was on his way to building the program back in his second stint, one that had been gutted since he left and after Jackson left. Ambition and politics got in the way of that because Lake Superior State would be back on top if Frank Anzalone was still there.

      I hope Clarkson makes the right offer, the choice is obvious if you want a winner, it is Frank Anzalone.

      The Truth Is Out There....

        I think Clarkston should go the way MI State did. Bring in a guy who was an assistant coach for one year back in the early 90s and call him a great catch .

          Sad for college hockey at such a great program.

            I have heard he will even run the youth leagues through his organization.
            he will be the Hockey Czar (wrong country for that....Ha!)
            Who is going to replace Metro?

                I think he's going back to France where his wife is from, and where he played pro hockey. He is going to coach a team over there. I haven't seen anything official posted by LSSU yet, but that is the word. Not sure how long it will take for Roque to name a replacement.

                  8-27-2 (.243)
                  6-28-4 (.211)
                  9-20-7 (.347)
                  9-22-7 (.329)

                  Thats some mighty fine rebuilding there. Heck if we gave him another 5 years he might have finally cracked 10 wins in a season. Frank's style of game and coaching just doesnt fit in with college hockey anymore. Face the facts. We all appreciate the championship he brought us and for putting us on the map, but we also realize he is not diety, which seems to be your line of thinking.

                    Rich Mtetro has done nothing officially about the position in France. It is a great opportunity but a long way from US hockey.
                    He is in the " window"to make a decision, therefore nothing official at LSSU.

                      Some nice tentative home dates in 2011-12 for the Lakers Oct 15-16 MSU, 21-22 BGSU, Nov 4-5 the Beavers of Bemidji State, and Nov 25-26 hosting the Fighting Irish. I had a early tentative to look at but I like the Bemidji addition. It seems they will alternate with UAH as a non conference opponent for a few years.

                        Let us hope Roque gets the job at Clarkson. In my opinion,he deserves that job .

                          Good to hear that UAH may be an addition to the future schedule, and Bemidji has always been a good rivalry although dormant for many years.

                              Looks like most of the home games will be in the first half.

                              The second half the Lakers play Miami at home the second weekend of January. The two other home series in the second half will be against Ohio State and Western Michigan.

                              Schedule so far:

                              October 14/15 - Michigan State
                              October 21/22 - Bowling Green
                              October 28/29 - @ Miami
                              November 4/5 - Bemidji State
                              November 25/26 - Notre Dame
                              December 9/10 - Northern Michigan
                              December 30/31 - @ Vermont Tournament
                              January 13/14 - Miami
                              February 3 - USA Under 18
                              February 10/11 - @ Alaska
                              February 24/25 - @ Northern Michigan

                                Looks like a favorable 1st half schedule, hopefully the Lakers take advantage of that. Weird that there is a home series on Thansgiving weekend. When's the last time the Lakers played at home Thanksgiving weekend? I take it the Lakers won't go to Union this year but it's to see them playing UAH.
