Re: 2020 UVM offseason: Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes
From the CHN story
"And to be clear, as opposed to some rumors floating around, Woodcroft was Schulman's first choice. No one else was offered the position or "pulled themselves out of the running," the old canard of coaches who are trying to save face."

Who is the hockey writer who that people were saying is out to promote his guy or a certain coach has under his thumb? McMahon or Cox? I could see both having their biases based on connections but what's interesting is after the initial out of left field feel for this hire only Cox has been panning the hire consistently. McMahon did post a few tweets last night talking to other coaches who say Woodcroft will learn quick and was compared to Carvel by others. https://twitter.com/MikeMcMahonCHN/s...98983732477955
McMahon works for CHN - so it's doubtful that a CHN article would be referring to their own guy.

I'm just hoping now Woodcroft can get a staff together and get to UVM by June if it's safe to do so with a visa so he can enter the states since Trump has paused visas and is talking about more immigration bans. I'm no expert on the subject and I would assume UVM did its homework to make sure Woodcroft had everything in order but it would be really unfortunate if political factors on top of medical and science factors kept him from starting his job in town.

Re: 2020 UVM offseason: Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes
A short podcast from UVM talking to Jerry Tarrant who was on the search committee about Woodcroft: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2ai...Sh6XWGMmyMVkFQ
Gives some interesting insights as Tarrant says Woodcroft is going to have good relationships with advisors/agents for kids who are looking to get their guys to the next level with a pro pedigree which will have them in the conversation with high caliber players. Says also that Woodcroft is bilingual in French and that it was Jeff Hill who was trying to open up doors in Quebec again. Also mentions the international stuff as well. Thinks the biggest learning curve is going to be having less practice time with guys and how to best manage the time they have since in the NHL you have unlimited time and these guys have to go to class but thinks Woodcroft is aware and his development background speaks for itself. It's a good listen about 23 minutes long.
