  • Re: LSSU Laker Hockey 2011-12

    Awesome news and congrats to everyone involved in hockey. Well the Lakers have their top-notch goalies how does the rest of the roster shape up? Also when do they take to the ice for practice? I was over to the stadium the other day and it looked like it was just getting in shape. Oh has the board approve the move to the new conference yet?

      The goaltending and defense will be excellent. Maybe even better than last year. But who is going to score?

        davy, still sticking by your prediction that the Lakers are an extreme long-shot to get into the WCHA?

          Actually Neil, I thought they were going to the NOJHL. And it did appear unlikely that they would be able to get into the WCHA, for many of the reasons I had stated. But major progress was made at the Chicago meeting. Tell me Neil, how certain were you that LSSU WOULD get into the WCHA prior to the announcement?

          I was glad that they were able to get in. I had said on more than one post that I would have liked for them to remain in with NMU. I didn't think it was a strong possibility, but it did indeed happen. And that's a very positive thing for the Lakers, as well as Ferris and Alaska.

          The leagues got together and didn't want to leave the possibility of being in a 6 or 7 team loop that could have been vulnerable to a school jumping or shutting down.

            Actually, Davy, you are trying to be sarcastic; but in your sarcasm is much truth.

            And it did appear unlikely that they would be able to get into the WCHA, for many of the reasons I had stated

            Seems your reasons were flimsy.

            Tell me Neil, how certain were you that LSSU WOULD get into the WCHA prior to the announcement?

            I thought it was a 50/50 chance. You, on the other hand, gave it about a one percent chance.


            I was glad that they were able to get in

            Please.

              Less than a month away until the season starts, can't wait. Scoring will be the main concern. Other than Monardo, I don't know who else will score. At least defense and goaltending should be solid. Who will be the #2 goalie behind Kapalka? Ravn or Murdock?

                Seems to have been decided long time ago. Ask 3dognight.
                By the way, what are the milestones until the Norris Center Project completion ?

                  I believe that Murdock is the backup.

                  Jean, Campbell, and Lain will really have to step up offensively. Hopefully they all had productive summers in the weight room.

                    Radke and McParland should step it up some also. Dommett sounds like he is going to be a good one. Only one month away.

                      Simply paperwork for this phase of the project, through the season.
                      State of Mich, Univ., builders, permits, lawyers, accountants, architects, budgets, plans...blah, blah blah Not the most exciting stuff, eh?

                      Glad to see Ravn spent some of the summer with Steve McKitchen, I will be interested in seeing how things work out.
                      I am hoping we get a solid 1&2 out of things.....the Lakers will need this position to be rock solid.

                        So if the reasons were "flimsy," why did you only feel a 50/50 chance for LSSU to get it? Why did you not feel it to be a slam dunk? You must remember the WCHA initially stated a desire to be an 8 team league. What do you think were the objections to LSSU being one of the 8?

                        As for the "Please," I am very pleased they got to join. I would much prefer the 3 hour trip to the Soo as opposed to a 9 hour trip to Minnesota. With the addition of Ferris and LSSU, NMU has the most favorable travel set up in the league. I also wanted to see Alabama-Huntsville added to the CCHA a few years back, but understand the objections. I want to win the PowerBall, but I realize that it is unlikely. Just because I recognize and state what the objections may have been, doesn't mean I am against it happening

                          Because few things in life are a "slam dunk".

                          Not sure, but I bet you think it's because the Soo is something like eight light-years away from Marquette...give or take a light-year.

                            Have I been missing something ? Bowling Green has made no decision on what they intend to do and I cannot find any postings on here from their fans .
