They list all other that have signed NLIs as well. Boeing, Gerrie, Jackson, Kauppila, Newsome, Reinke, Watson

But they didn't include Demico Hannoun, like they did last year.

Interesting, I'll see what I can find out but I know they want Hannoun

It appears to be an oversight simply because he signed in 2013 and isn't scheduled to come in until 2016 now.

No NLI from Ford? Or do you not sign one if you transfer schools?
 
Re: Michigan Tech 2015 off-season I: Building on what we've learned...

Coach sounded real upbeat on the radio show despite the bad luck in the tourney.
Tech sure has a lot of lefties, centers and left wings to sort out.
Will Baltus,Gillies, and Vallis claim ice time or will Jackson and Boeing demand ice time on arrival.
I think Heinonen joins the top 6, and Blacklock, Anderson will be regulars. Looks like a lot of battles to be decided near the Laurentian games time frame.

just saw that North Dakota's coach, Dave Hakstol, jumped to the big time and was named head coach of the Philadelphia Flyers!!!

Everyone hates a winner. Be interesting to see who UND hires next. Won't be a shortage of A1 candidates as UND is one of the Top 5 jobs in college hockey.

North Dakota looking for a head coach after Haks saw the writing on the wall.
Philly getting another piece to their puzzle that can't win the big game.
Can my Monday get any better? It's going to be tough.

My .02 worth.....
Definite starters: Petan, Gould, Eick, Sturos, Heinonen, Neville, Steman
Probable starters: L'Esperance, E. Anderson, Blacklock, Gillies, Baltus
In the running: Boeing, Jackson, Lucchini (if he comes), Vallis, P. Anderson
I think any of the probable starters could get bumped and any of those in the running could claim a spot.
 
Re: Michigan Tech 2015 off-season I: Building on what we've learned...

Wouldn't be surprised to see Boeing amongst the probables from the get-go.

It will definitely be interesting to see if Black lock and Anderson are regulars after not playing a game in 2014/2015...Has anyone seen them play?
 
Re: Michigan Tech 2015 off-season I: Building on what we've learned...

Just saw that Tech posted to Facebook that the Huskies led the WCHA in attendance last season and was 6th highest in school history. The first seems reasonable when you think about some of the rinks in the league, but the second is pretty shocking (in a good way). For all the great teams Tech had in the past, to even be in the top 10 is stunning to me.

Any word on the Jimmy Davis / Huskies reunion tour for 2015-16? I would love to see him get another shot with the team and hopefully his play earns him 15 or more games this season. Always great to see dedication rewarded and hopefully a much longer playoff beard this season as well. He might be related to Brent Burns... but Jimmy's hard hat >> Burns' hair.
