LSSU never played D2 hockey. They played NAIA in the early days, then moved up to NCAA D1. There no longer is a D2 championship for hockey. What does "Well sound Jim Roque was on vacation in Buffalo..." mean?Well sound Jim Roque was on vacation in Buffalo visting Ron Rolston and congratulating him on getting the HC job with the Sabers.
Time to move on this puts halt to Jim going to Buffalo. It is to bad this spilled out if wasnt true. I would hope LSSU Lakers would have a press conference, so they can inform the timeline of the project that hopefully takes place. Time for Doug Weight to donate again to save the program from a downward spiral.
LSSU has a rich tradition and I would hope it would be preserved whether they accomplished it in D2 or D1.

You didn't answer my question.I think Jim was vacationing in Buffalo hanging out Ron Rolston, not getting an AC job. All the reports are coming out of the Buffalo newspaper not the Soo, so I assume he must be in NY.
That is a shame. It shows you need more than friendship to move 'up'.
The trail begins with the Clarkson University beat writer in Watertown, N.Y. and was picked up by Mr. Mckenzie. From there it took off so someone talked with this writer who probably knows the writer pretty well. This would either be one of these coaches or a close confident to one of these Coaches. There was no release that I could find by the Sabres organization. If Coach Rolston told someone that Coach Roque was coming with him to Buffalo I can guarantee you that Coach Roque told Coach Rolston he was coming.So who is this obvious person who contacted the writer?
But the guy that reported it was a reporter from the Watertown NY newspaper by a tweet. The Sabres Edge just reported a tweet from accredited newspaper.
Negative....oh yes because there is sooooo much to be positive about the state of this program.....lots of maybes...always lots of maybes...should halves and wishes under Roque's watchful eye....sorry about being so "blue" there Lakerblue but the skies over laker land are anything but blue!
Probably because they are finally happy with the way their program is being run. Something most of us are not.look on the bright side like Michigan Tech fans. Mel finished 8th and 10th respectively his first 2 years and the Husky faithful were ready to throw a ticker tape parade down Sheldon Avenue.
Do what Tech did. Get the money to fund the changes.Probably because they are finally happy with the way their program is being run. Something most of us are not.

You need to do more research. They didn't just have the money. The Peter J. Grant Hockey Educational Center was funded with private donations. A lot of funding for the upgraded coaching salaries and boosts to the budget were also privately funded.Hasn't MTU had the money the whole time didn't they build and education center attached to the Student Development Ciomplex for hockey players only in the early 2000's.
Also, up north in Houghton they have many engineers who have jobs two years before they graduate with those hefty starting paying jobs.

I have read, with interest, your comments on the various sites such as NMU, UAA, LSSU, MTU and Maine. You know a lot about a lot of programs. History, Alumni, potential donors, and have offered some great advice to each program on how they can improve.You right I will have do some research on MTU.
They have enginneers, snow, snow, Opie, Rockwell, Grant and snow.
to be honest, i'm not happy with an 8th or 10th place finish. but it's an improvement considering they've been a perennial doormat the better part of 25 years, that being said, i've seen some glimpses this year that the program is slowly beginning to turn the corner under Mel's guidance.
in regards to the money at Tech, it helps to have wealthy alums like Opie, Rockwell, and Grant who are willing to contribute.
What does the phrase "Well sound Jim Roque" mean?Curious is this a LSSU thread or a MTU thread.
What happen to the Rock haters this offseason.
Let's start talking about all the big names of donors that are donating to the July renovation.
I want to hear some input from Mr Coates, Mr Roque and Mrs Dunbar on how things are going the hockey fans in Soo deserve some evidence.
The team needs iice rink improvements to compete in the 2013-2014 WCHA.
I'm still looking for an answer to my question.Changing subject, I see.
Is it 100% official that Crawford won't be back? The last I knew, there was still a slight possibility he could be back. It might depend upon who (which station) gets the broadcast contract for next season. I'm not that familiar with the radio station landscape in the Soo area, but isn't there pretty much an ownership monopoly there? Are there any stations there not under the Sovereign Communications umbrella? I heard someone in Marquette might be interested in buying a Soo radio station(s); if so, perhaps they could also be a player in who gets the Lakers broadcast contract if they make (or have made) such a purchase. As it is now, if Crawford doesn't come back, Paul VanWagoner has still been doing the weekly (in-season) podcasts with Roque, so I guess he could be a possible replacement. Or if there is some change in radio station ownership by Fall, perhaps we could see someone else. Maybe even if Sovereign still gets the contract, we'll see someone new if Bill doesn't want to do the travel anymore.Any word on who will replace Crawford in the radio booth in 2013-14?
Frank was a proven winner when he came in for his second go around.
Why are you so infatuated with the truth sisters?
