Back to the assistant coach search, since Mel mentioned former players, I went through the michigan rosters while he was there and I found the following players currently in "coaching."

I wonder if John Kisil (MTU 97), associate head coach with the OHL Saginaw Spirit for the past 8 years, is in the mix.

I'd say Tech dodged a bullet by not getting Ben Johnson.

In many ways, you're right but who knows what would have happen with him if he had been closer to home and in college vs Windsor.

The job opening is up.

Does this disqualify the junior league coaches that have been mentioned in this thread?

Reading opinions of Devils fans from HFBoards (yeah, yeah, I know), sounds like Pietila has a half-decent chance of cracking the big club's roster this fall. Regardless, he seems like a lock for the AHL team in Albany.

The Michigan Tech fan base is +1. Congrats to Tim and Lisa and their new baby girl Johannah Pearl.

Thanks,
Everyone is doing fine, we took baby Johannah Pearle home this morning from the hospital and her big sister, Maddie (our dog) was so excited to meet her. They are all resting at home with my mom there to help out, while I return to work this afternoon.

Congrats Tim! Be sure to have the talk about appropriate times for shirtlessness ASAP.

I just figured you wouldn't do a bunch of video work using a jersey style you do not plan to wear next season. Yes, I suppose they could be ordering a new set of the exact same jerseys, but that would be even more blah. That would pretty much say it will be at least 2-3 years before any potential changes to the home design.

Well, they did order white jerseys, no idea if there were changes made but they did.

I dropped a hint to Mel that a 95th patch was in order for this season (even offered to design it), but didn't get a reply. I'm sure they look at it as just another couple hundred dollars they could save for something else, but when you have a program that is 75, 80, 85, 90, 95 years old and the best you can come up with is the design below and then nothing for 20 years... that's not making much of an effort. UNO played hockey for 10 years and came up with a patch that was 10 times better... And don't get me started on those gosh awful WCHA 50th anniv patches....

Re: Michigan Tech 2015 off-season I: Building on what we've learned...

Questions for those in the know....

Is Lucchini Tech's best offensively skilled recruit of the Pearson era?
How to keep all the forwards happy this year, seems we have 5 extras that can play roles?
Who plays with Eick and Neville, P. Anderson seems slotted for a defensive water bug on RW.
Will Boeing be too good to leave out of the lineup?
Will Mason Blacklock grab the 1st line center spot.
Will Jackson, E. Anderson, Steman, Blacklock, and Neville be the centers in no particular order?
Will this be the year to take back the MacNaughton?
