Hamilton College coaching vacancy

Re: Hamilton College coaching vacancy

no, but word on the street is Heenan is a shoe-in for the Union Asst position....




Sorry Gary, I seriously couldn't help it!

Now there's a man with a memory.......And a great sense of humor.....Love it.
 
Re: Hamilton College coaching vacancy

they have a solid team coming back, if they expand their rink, they have a chance to recruit well against any of the NESCAC schools. Bazin did a terrific job of recruiting, no idea who he has coming in this season but a new coach will find the fridge is well stocked with talent
 
Re: Hamilton College coaching vacancy

Recruiting for this year is probably shot. Several recruits lost with the departure of Bazin. Freshman class was best recruited in his 3 years and at least one is leaving.

Head coach position is still open. Will be interesting to see if they go with a young gun with no HC experience, looking to move up ala Bazin, or someone experienced who hasn't damaged their D1 program.
 
they just closed the application pool this past Monday, no interviews as of yet

The pony express just delivered my ,ail and there wasn't anything in it regarding acoaching selection. I know some things move slow but anyone hear if interviews have happened?
 
Re: Hamilton College coaching vacancy

Is the new head coach the best kept secret in college hockey? Or is Hamilton really dragging their feet. With teams already
building their scheduels for next year where will that leave Hamilton?
 
Re: Hamilton College coaching vacancy

There were just as tardy three years ago with the Bazin announcement. Maybe Tim Whitehead has another solid lead for his alma mater.
 
Re: Hamilton College coaching vacancy

Forgive me if I am ignorant of the facts, but, is Hamilton the last college in NCAA hockey to maintain a vacancy in the Head Coaching position?

Coaching Updates
Needless to say, there’s been a lot of movement this spring, with still more to come. Here’s the latest we have:

Cornell will have two new assistants. On Tuesday, Mike Schafer hired Quinnipiac long-time assistant Ben Syer (meaning you can add Q-pac to the list of schools seeking an assistant). The top candidate for the position of the Big Red’s second assistant looks to be former Cornell forward Topher Scott, who, after playing a few years of minor pro, served as a volunteer at Miami last season.

Norm Bazin’s assistants at UMass-Lowell will be Jason Lammers, a well-travelled man who most recently has been at Colorado College, and Cam Ellsworth, an assistant at Sioux City (USHL) last season.

Greg Gardner, an assistant at Niagara for the last five seasons, and Scott Garrow, a long-time assistant at Cornell, will comprise Bob Prier’s staff at Princeton.

At Ohio State, Steve Brent has resigned after 13 years and will be taking a position outside of hockey. The most likely candidate for the spot is Layne LeBel. An assistant under Buckeyes’ head coach Mark Osiecki at Green Bay (USHL), LeBel went on to serve as an assistant on Dave Poulin’s staff at Notre Dame for a couple of years. This past season, LeBel was a volunteer assistant for the Buckeyes. We have also heard the name of NTDP assistant coach Joe Exter – the program’s goalie guru – in connection with this job.

Harvard has to replace Bobby Jay. We’ve heard the names of ex-Harvard goalie John Daigneau, an assistant at Canisius last season, and Northeastern assistant Albie O’Connell. The latter is particularly intriguing given what is -- or isn’t -- happening at Northeastern.

New Michigan Tech head coach Mel Pearson has hired Michigan alum Bill Mukalt for his staff. Last season, Mukalt, who was recruited to Michigan by Pearson in the early '90s, was head coach/GM of the New Mexico Mustangs, an NAHL expansion team.

Look for UMass assistant coach Red Gendron to take the open spot at Yale. He and Keith Allain have crossed paths working for USA Hockey – as well as in the pro game -- over the years. As for UMass, we keep hearing Blaise MacDonald will be coming on board as an assistant. Makes sense. He and Toot Cahoon share a BU connection. At any rate, if MacDonald does indeed go to UMass, the Minutemen will have three guys – Cahoon, MacDonald, and Len Quesnelle -- who have been NCAA Div. I head coaches.

St. Lawrence still has to fill the slot created by Prier’s departure to Princeton. We’ve heard Greg Carvel is high on the school’s wish list. Carvel, the captain of the Saints in ’92-93, was fired this spring after seven years as an assistant coach with the NHL’s Ottawa Senators.

For the University of Connecticut assistant’s position opened up by the hiring of Joe Dumais as an assistant at Union, we have heard the name of former long-time Providence assistant Dave Berard.

For the open head position at Hamilton College, vacant since Bazin’s hiring at UMass-Lowell, we are hearing the names of both Phil Grady, who retired after 24 years behind the Hamilton bench in 2008, and his son, Brian Grady. The younger Grady, a Hamilton alum, is currently the head coach at Morrisville State (SUNYAC). We are also hearing the names of current Hamilton assistant Graham Johnson, former Clarkson head coach George Roll, former Clarkson assistant Greg Dreschel, and current Army assistant Rob Haberbusch.

Former Union forward Joel Beal has joined the Dutchmen as a volunteer assistant. Beal has been an assistant at Albany Academy the past couple of years. He's also been the head coach of the Troy-Albany midget minor AAA team.

I have it on excellent authority that the elder Grady is not pursuing this position. Also, despite his interest, George Roll is not being considered at this time.
 
Re: Hamilton College coaching vacancy

Still nothing but the sound of crickets coming out of the AD's office in Clinton. The basketball coach left on May 4, and he hasn't been replaced either.

Funny to me that Naz announced hockey and a coach faster than the Hamilton hire.

I stand corrected here as I believe Roll did, in fact, interview for this position
