        I will believe it when he is on campus and in uniform, and all of the hurdles between signing the LOI and getting enrolled are out of the way. When is national signing day for college hockey?

        With this news, we now have six incoming freshmen on the commit list. That is a good class size, considering that we only have a couple of players leaving via "graduation" (or, exhaustion of NCAA eligibility).

          That's what set our alarm bells off too. Why would a blue-chipper sign if he knew the coach was on his way out the door? These recruits must know something we don't.

            Recruits could care less about the coach, in some cases; the assistant coaches do a majority of the work. Nathan Oystrick was recruited by Dave Shyiak during Comley's last year at NMU. Walt Kyle called Nathan in the summer and introduced himself as the new head coach. Nathan responded "I never knew who the old coach was."

            Pietila is likely an MTU kid no matter WHO is behind the bench. Unless he fails the clearinghouse.

              It is good timing though.

              Now if my other two boys fall into line we'll be on a roll.
              I hope the next piece of good news is the commitment from a certain high scoring forward from a little town just west of the Twin Cities. Fingers are crossed.

                Perhaps aparch is right, and Pietila is a Husky no matter who the coach is. Certainly in football, players leave or stay based on coaching changes. Perhaps he is going not worry about who will be coaching.

                There is also the chance that a player could leave after they recieve a new coach because they do not like how the team is run. Like when JR first took over.

                  That's kinda what we were figuring.

                  Player signs, then has the system totally changed to something he knows he won't thrive in.

                    Chad Pietila has transfered to MTU and is currently attending classes. He will be eligible to play for MTU January 2012. So next January's team will include 3 Pietilas.

                        Don't think so.

                          Plus Hietala, whenever he plays, and Jujhar Khaira the following fall. Poor Dirk.

                            Change like that isn't going to happen overnight unless the upperclassman decide to just quit. If Russell is canned, Pietila has two choices. Fulfill his 1 year commitment per the National Letter of Intent, and then transfer to another institution, or stay the year in juniors to see what direction the team is headed. (I may be wrong on this second part due to age limits in the USHL/NAHL; I haven't done any research into him)

                            I wouldn't panic thinking he's going to be the next CPZ.

                            It took two years before the Wildcats changed from Comley's soft euro style to Walts grittier Western Canadian style.

                            As it is, you play in the WCHA where 12 teams play the same gritty style. Any system/formula change a new coaching staff will implement can't vary far from that. All a new coach could do is go from a dump and chase to a possessional style. Doesn't really change the fundamentals of the team (or why you signed kids)

                                Or St. Cloud, for that matter. Even when they are good they hardly play 'tough' defense. Same for CC.
