Agreed on Santilli. As for Brown, I'm willing to give a break to a freshman. Regarding the rest of the defense, I'll say that I was hoping Lammens could turn into his dad--maybe he needs another year. The others? Thanks for your service.
If you would've asked me this the weekend before the Clarkson games I would've said he was as good as gone. But we are now 5-4-1 in our last 10 games and have managed a big turn around. It appears as though they've figured something out. That combined with the fact that this team is extremely young leads me to believe they might just give him another shot to see if the success at the end of the year continues. I think they are also afraid of losing some of the recruiting class that is coming in for this year if the coach is gone. Which is looking very solid. I honestly wouldn't be surprised either way.
We are so young and we do have quite a bit of talent in this years freshman class and next years looks even more promising. That why I honestly think it's almost impossible for this team not to improve drastically over the next few years.
I believe his contract is up at the end of this season. I would expect him gone. It would be inconceivable to invest any more money into Brekke. He’s proven he can’t win at SLU. If they keep him that would be an indication that the school simply doesn’t care about men’s hockey. Which I know they do
This is the final year of his contract.
It’s definitely possible they give him a 1 year extension. I really hope they don’t. It’s just time to move forward and get this program back to relevance. Brekke had his time
Sorry for bringing up the 70's but the 70's actually look good compared to what we have gone through the past decade with Morris & Brekke. 10 years without an ounce of support from the Administration and here we are... just sad
Now you hit the nail on the head. Both Morris and Brekke were not allowed to get rid of the players which could not only help a program turn the corner, but also, the players with "toxic attitudes". Is that a Coaches' fault? In my opinion no. Some of this program is owned by the Administration and some by the Coach - not an ideal combination for success at any level.
I'll say. And this from a Harvard fan who thought for sure you guys were going to win tonight. When your two forwards were left alone in front of Charrette with the puck in OT, I thought that was it. The irony of it all is that Casey Severo had a terrible night on faceoffs with one exception; the winning goal. Honestly, there is very little difference between Harvard and SLU at this point. We're all very disappointed with Donato. Three straight years of subpar coaching and poor recruiting have left us as a second division team. So I do feel your pain.
At least you have a goalie for another year. Maybe you can recruit a kid instead of bringing in a portal transfer that can take over in a year.
They have Trenten Bennett coming next year. Devils 4th rounder went 99th overall.
He’s a big boy
