that's exactly what I wanted to hear. No more competing for Finlandia recruits. (although Peter Rouleau was pretty good at hockey)

I agree, I bet that's going to be awkward for the both of them for a while. AFAIK Red Berenson hasn't been to the Houghton Wal-mart scouting for talent. :-p

It may be a tough sell in this case for Red. How would you feel to have to follow up a guy that had 23 years of service?

That would indicate UofM grads of the last two decades who have earned a coaching promotion... I'm not familiar with the pool, myself.
 
Re: MICHIGAN TECH OFFSEASON THREAD II: The Winning has started

Berenson has the edge. With all the realignment speculation, unless you really despise Red for some reason, who wouldn't want job security at U of M and a chance to coach in the new BTHC?

Pearson.

I would say it's a risk vs. reward situation. If an assistant comes to MTU and the program get's turned around in a few years, I'd say he'd have pretty good "value" for becoming a head coach.

If the personal connection and liking are equal, I agree. Right now Tech is actually a more secure position with Red likely retiring in two years and Powers or someone else will be bringing in his own staff. Tech has a five-year cushion and plenty of upside.

Diva I need to speak to you Wildcat to Wildcat. Cocaine isn't anything to joke about. Once upon a time I had sinus surgery and cocaine was used in my nose as an anesthetic so I wouldn't feel new holes being punched in my skull. I had a bad trip, Diva. Heart palpitations and sweats, especially my feet. The nurse had to take those little blue paper slippers off. Just say no Diva. Just. Say. No. Unless you need sinus surgery then by all means let them shove the cocaine soaked swabs up your nose. You won't feel a thing.

Warvie sure knows how to get on the new coaches good side; comparing him to Waters and Russell- what a knucklehead, if I was Pearson I would have told him to shove it but he is much to classy for that; probably why he is such a good recruiter.

He is right that he is different, but to be fair to Warvie, Pearson deserves comparison to Russell, Watters, Boxer and Nahrgang until he proves otherwise. He is a former player. Former players have not worked out for Tech in the past (especially Watters). I wanted Cary Eades because I wanted someone outside of the program with the pedigree. Pearson (#2 on my list) certainly comes to Michigan Tech with a better background than Russell and Watters (I don't know much about Boxer and Nahrgang), so hopefully he can buck the trend.

Agreed. When I was in Houghton visiting the AF rotc det last fall, someone there said they hoped the new coach would not be another Tech Grad but be from outside the program. However having said that I think Pearson is the one guy who is the exception to that.
As far as Johnson. Good luck to him.He is fast but he needs a lot more to his game.
I guess the OHL is crowing about this or it wouldn't be on the front page, and he was not drafted.. wonder why not..I notice he had his agent there.... hmmm.

The argument could also be made that if it weren't for Pearson being an alumni, Tech likely wouldn't have landed him. To me after 23 years, he's first and foremost a Michigan man who once played for Tech and an insult to him to be compared to failures, regardless of their alma mater, when he's coming in as the most successful assistant in possibly the history of college hockey. I don't think that was very well thought out by Warvie and I'm surprised Pearson even commented.

As a sidenote he made mention of possibly bringing in recruits for next year in the article.

Quick question, can someone endow academic scholarships for hockey team athletes? Therefore, your best players academically wouldn't need the athletic scholarship.
