    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    I agree I think this would be great if it happened. The question them becomes: what is Jimmy T’s contract situation? He has only been back here for about a year and a half I think? I can’t imagine he would want to step aside so soon, or I don’t think he’d have wanted the gig in the first place...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    I agree interesting times ahead! I would be shocked if Barr doesnt leave for Minnesota if offered the job - even without taking into account it’s where he’s from. As Chuck mentioned, Minnesota is the pinnacle of college hockey. The school that likely is top 3 with regard to players sent to the...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    I wouldn’t be surprised if Motzko retires. I think he is in his mid 60s, having coached at SCS for nearly 2 decades before heading over to Minnesota. Still, if one bad year was all it took to get fired, MS7 would be a distant memory by now. Seems to be some “movement” now amongst the teams...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    Oh man… full clean house of hockey in a matter of a day. I really understated this earlier. Minnesota truly DEMANDS excellence. Looking into this a bit more. Motzko had one bad year this year going 11-22-3. This is after a 25-11-4 in 24/25, and 23-11-5 in 23/24. They’ve made the NCAAs every...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    This x10000. I would not be surprised in the slightest if, should Bazin continue to slide next year (when his contract expires) that UML pivots him to an admin/early retirement job (he will be 56, but he’s certainly made good enough money to retire) and they swoop in and grab his former...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    Witts coaching longevity at UNH is what scares me about the liklihood of Souza sticking around indefinitely… While I don’t think she has been as bad as Souza (they finished 5th this year - I think we would all be much happier in that range vs 10-11th year in/year out). She’s never gotten above...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    Looked into this a bit more. I wonder if something happened off the ice, as it mentioned “after a full review of program performance on and off the ice”… I wonder if there was some misbehavior of some sort that also led to this. I imagine more will come out on this over the next week or two. I...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    Read earlier today that Minnesota women’s hockey HC is moving on from Brad Frost after 19 seasons leading the program (including 4 NCAA championships). The program did tail off a bit the last couple of years. But they still made the NCAA quarterfinals, and won 20+ games every year of his tenure...

    Congrats Cy! Wonder if he will work his way up to the Eagles to play with his former teammate Alex Gagne. Best of luck to him!

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    It comes down to how much autonomy they give MS7. If he says he really doesn’t want FoH, it won’t help/never helped, etc… do they just go with his word? Or do they dig a bit and see how great the program was under his predecessor in raising money, scholarships, etc. Perhaps you’re right and...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    I don’t disagree with you. I’m somewhat banking on his bosses (AD and president) to try and force his hand. I’m assuming they are not happy with how things have gone since the contract extension was given out, but they know their hands are a bit tied in terms of handing out cash to MS7 and his...

    Haha maybe just go with Flag, or FL17. Whatever works best for the masses. I never thought of this shorthand problem when creating the handle! :ROFLMAO:

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    Most of this back and forth has been great. I’ve tried to keep up with it around work. We’ve had more action on here since the season ended than the few weeks preceding! Anyways, I feel most of this really comes down to a “chicken or the egg” argument. Take your pick on which you want to call...

    They released this article earlier in 2025 detailing the “On to Victory” funds to support NIL, in collaboration with the Granite State Collective. https://unhwildcats.com/news/2025/10/27/general-unh-athletics-expands-student-athlete-support-with-on-to-victory-funds-nil-collective Right now it...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    A number of pages ago I posted an analysis of NFL coaches who have won in the SB era. The majority of coaches win within 4 years of their hiring, and there are inly a select few who it takes 5+ years. Even look at this year. Vrabel (1st year) and McDonald (2nd year) both made it to the SB in...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    Okay all, I put together a preliminary proposal that I hope to eventually send to Darius. I’m not sure posting it to the full channel would be the best, but I would appreciate input from others (especially former FoH members) to get your thoughts, suggested edits etc. I’ll preface this by...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    Thanks Chuck and HR! If anyone else has any info they want to share that would be appreciated! It looks like the FoH used to have a newsletter that ended in 2003? I’ll request info from the university to get more info on this. I’ll try to find/reach out to Bruce Hardenbrook as well. If anyone...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    I can work on this. Appreciate your help too! For those who were around in the FoH days, I’m not sure if records were kept in terms of financials (how much money raised, operating budget, etc) but if someone has access to those numbers that would help with this process, and I can include it in...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    Based on McMahons comments, do you think the “cabal” is starting to get concerned? It made me think back to the comments from the BU announcers a few weeks back who tried to defend MS7 and bashed us fans for complaining when we already have a “great coach”…. Do MS7s friends think there’s a...

    UNH- How Far West Do We Go?

    Do you think there would be interest in trying to revive FoH? I agree the funding “gap” that McMahon alluded to loosely lines up with the death of FoH. I wonder if the university would bite if they were presented with a solid pitch, maybe also include info on how much money they raised...
