Wisconsin Hockey 22-23 Empty Dreams & Empty Seats

It’s almost like there are other factors besides where you last coached

Who'd a thunk it? Lol

With PSUs back against the wall, OSU limited them to 31 shots...that's impressive considering they are routinely north of 50.

[J.D.]

the Last USNTDP coach to make the step up to NCAA was an abject failure at MSU iirc.

But then MSU went right back to the same well and this time it looks like they got a good coach!

Maybe Mel Pearson is still in town. I hear the Flin Flon bomber Teddy (yes I saw him play) recommends him.

Therapist?

FWIW, these are the worst message boards I’ve ever dealt with lol.

Still looking for Alex Leavitt.

[GoBucky18]

Yes, Danton Cole was with the USNDTP.

The big advantage of establisbed successful college coaches is that they have good to great assistants. They have an established recruiting base. They know the NCAA world of work.

With Macintosh and King being there on Sat...I think it was purposeful. Id rather see them at hockey games than not.

What’s Eaves up to?

[GoBucky18]

Im certainly not saying Rohlik is the absolute answer either. There are very few successful NCAA HCs out there that would be willing to leave their programs when they are already perennial NCAA teams. To poach Rohlik, we would have to prob throw $600/yr at him min. He already is at $500/yr.

With that being said we are prob looking at USNDT coaches, really good USHL HCs, and hyper good NCAA assistants with Western hockey experience.

What that pool looks like, I dont know. Certainly Rohlik with his current assistants at OSU, we would be dumb not to provide an honest interview for.

Suter, Dowell, Earl…others my 40 year old *** can’t remember.

Plus Likens and Skille.

Yes, he got Earl to decommit from Michigan to Wisconsin. He made some hay with those connections early on, but could not sustain recruiting as time passed. Personality, system? I sure don't know.

Wow. I totally spaced that! I remember now that Eaves made hay on usntdp recruits early on through his connections having coached there.

[srkbadger]

Was eaves USNTDP? My memory sucks.

But our last coach to win a championship was an NTDP coach.
