Why?
very good coach, very good person, excellant role model. players play hard for him. local guy. his teams play hard. interesting choice but a good one. way better than Albie on every front. Much more stable
Also dealt with crazy admissions so will know what to expect. Holy Cross was brutal in that regard.

Hoky - I consider you as "in the know." What do you think is the pay at HC for a head coach and what will the pay be at Harvard for an assistant?

guessing HC is low 200's especially since he has been there so long. Would assume Harvard ast would be low 100's. would think pay cut for sure. He is very family oriented so he might want to be closer to home Wakefield ma.
strange if he does the recruiting travelibg. might be associate hc with promise he gets job when Teddy moves on, maybe after his son graduates.

there's a good buck in that racket.
Low $100s for an assistant seems on the high side. But I've heard that Harvard has some money.
Do children of employees get to attend school for free?
Re: Harvard Crimson 2013-2014
They do get tuition only (typically) after some stated period of parent's employment employment, BUT they still have to get past admissions and don't usually get preference.

Obviously many media outlets had broken the story (rumor) previously, but Paul Pearl confirmed to Jen Toland of the Worcester Telegram & Gazette that he would be leaving to take the associate head coaching position at Harvard.

I think the proximity to Wakefield, MA has more to do with it than tuition.

Re: Harvard Crimson 2013-2014
Solid hire. Should be a nice addition to the coaching staff. Here's a couple of observations to consider for the new associate head coach.
1. Culture. When did losing at H become ok? 3-10 in 1 goal games last year excl ENG. Flip this around and have a good season.
2. Development. Develop the players you have and stop waiting on the next great recruit. Soph/Junior/Senior pipeline is good. Make sure these guys develop and expand their roles each year.
3. Teamwork. Way too much individual play. Passing, puck support, play away from the puck does not reflect the talent level on this team. (BC excels at this)
Just a few random thoughts. Hope Teddy gives the new coach some leeway in practices and game situations. Could be a dynamic combination.

Re: Harvard Crimson 2013-2014
His teams may play hard and he may be a great guy and all but his career record is barely over .500. So I'll ask what was already asked; why is this a great hire? Are we now going to recruit kids from the Holy Cross pipeline because we're pretty sure we can get them into Harvard? I'm not trying to be too snarky here but honestly, we couldn't come up with someone from a bigger conference with ties to recruiting pools that will put us in a better competitive position? I'm serious. Granted, the win over Minnesota was huge but that was one win. Quinnipiac made the jump to D-1 and has proven to be a contending program. And the guy already tried the Ivies back in the late 90's with Brown. What happened there?

While this has been a miserable winter for Harvard hockey fans and doubly difficult if you root for the Bruins (which I do), there is one silver lining; Dom Moore is still playing hockey. He has had to endure a tragedy that I wouldn't wish on anyone and it would be great if the Rangers could win the Cup. For him and St. Louis.

very good pick up, very good coach. no one wants to play at HC's rink and believe it or not, their admissions is harder than many Ivys. I knoe of several rejected at HC and go to Dartmouth. Admin does not support team at all, total farce
Great pick up and will be HC down the road.
Harvard will be better this year for it
