I heard the jerseys have a retro look, will there be the square MTU on one of the shoulders?

Shirtless, when can we expect all the recruiting uncertainty to be settled. As mentioned, I don't think UM has room for too many of Tech's guys.
I am most concerned about Halonen, Parrottino, Newsome, Williamson for the future and especially Reitmeyer at this point for this season.

The article is written, just waiting on Shawhan to pick a third string goalie and for MTU to make an official release of the roster.
I'm not worried about Reitmeyer. 2017 is set except the goalie...sadly there are 4 guys that were committed that won't be coming to MTU at this time...Mel really screwed up recruiting going into the 2017-18 season and jumped ship at the right moment to leave the mess for Shawhan.
 
Re: Michigan Tech Off-season Revised - Onward and Upward

Darn, any insight for the makeup of the 4, I am assuming all forwards?

There are always capable replacements available, just need to have the new guys target the needs.

It's mostly defensemen because Mel over-recruited...I'm going to let Calvin drop the release first

Travis Brown is one of the players who's not coming. He committed to St. John's University a month ago.

Hey, since you mentioned it... Anyone want a nice Travis Brown MN Magicians jersey? I'll make you a good deal.
Now I wave my magic hockey stick and abbracadabra *poof* another recruit is gone. Thanks again Meyel. Grrrr.

It's mel who?

Did anyone know about the other potential offers he turned down during his time? Yeah he left but he had family there, a new born on the way, says sees everyday. He spent 23yrs there waiting. Not fully happy about his choice but understand it
 
Re: Michigan Tech Off-season Revised - Onward and Upward

I've figured Tristan Rostagno is not coming either, after almost 5 years on the list. Perhaps I'm wrong.
 
Re: Michigan Tech Off-season Revised - Onward and Upward

Shirtless, with it taking some time, It looks like it is either 2 D from this year's recruiting class, and a forward and D from next year's class not coming or are 3 of the ones not coming from next year's class?

I would be surprised if Mel was not approached about the Wisconsin and Denver head coach openings...perhaps even the Michigan State job.
 
Re: Michigan Tech Off-season Revised - Onward and Upward

Here is a list of Tech players that I know of who are attending or have attended NHL development/prospect camps this summer:
Dane Birks - Pittsburg Penguins
Alex Smith - Calgary Flames
Mitch Reinke - Calgary Flames
Jake Jackson - San Jose Sharks
Mark Auk - Edmonton Oilers
Jake Lucchini - Edmonton Oilers
Angus Redmond - Anaheim Ducks

Does anyone know of any others? Its not as many as last year, but probably still more than any other WCHA school.

Based on THG's grid? It's 2 defensemen for 2017 and one for 2018 plus 1 forward for 2017. There could be more changes, which is somewhat normal with any coaching turnover.

Barry Alvarez contacted Mark Johnson first, then while Johnson was pondering, he asked Tony Granato to see who he would advised that he contact and Alvarez then asked Granato if HE'd be interested, and Granato said yes and that was it.

I would have liked Pearson had he got the job, he was on my short list, but then was he just waiting for UM to call no matter where he was?
