If true this is good news. I hope they get the details worked out.

Re: MSU Spartan off-season - the grand flame-out
So, with U. Maine coming to EL during the 14th and 15th of October, and with UAH likely at Munn the following weekend, can anybody take an educated stab at what we're doing for the opening weekend?
Football is in Ann Arbor, so we could, in theory, schedule a non-conference cupcake at home, however, Comley still seems pretty adamant about keeping the number of home games to a minimum (especially considering our attendance woes) so I don't think that's going to happen.
Non-conference tournament? Repay the favor for UML? Convalesce from the grueling off-season and take the weekend off? Something else entirely?

Again, Comley is adamant about keeping the number of home games to a minimum. The series must take place at Ralph Young Field, or no go.

I've met Damon on a couple of occasions. Good guy, and he does some great work at the hockey office.

Regardless of the disparity in recent years of the two programs, I'd say his move to asst. coaching job at Tech is a step ... UP. Nice for him.
Good to have another Mason protege in the coaching mix.

I think Whitten will make a solid career out of coaching if that is something he wants. I remember going to practices at Munn when he played in the late 90's to early 00's and he was ALWAYS the hardest worker on the ice. He was intense during the games (and during the fights after the games against Michigan). If his coaching style is anything like this, I think he will make it to good places.

He's Ron Mason's grandson, so I would assume so.

Yes he is. He's a good player too; very smart.

You might have seen this on a different thread, but former MSU right winger and current UAH coach Danton Cole has become a coach of US-NTDP.

Bad news for a UAH program scrambling for post-CHA stability, but good news for Danton nonetheless.

Re: MSU Spartan off-season - the grand flame-out
Stemming from my procrastination-driven walk through Munn today, I can confirm the block "S" at center ice has been replaced with the helmet logo.
I can also confirm that the boards have been repainted - we now have green bluelines. (Greenlines?)
That is all.

From January to December, 2001 was one heck of a year for Spartan Hockey. After Ryan Miller got the shutout record and the Hobey, and MSU went to the Frozen Four, then came October and the Cold War with Michigan, where Duncan Keith scored in his very first game in the Green & White - and Miller even had an assist.
9 years later Miller has won the Vezina Trophy and Keith has won the Norris.

This was quite a decade for Spartan hockey. There were ups and downs along the way, but Miller's Hobey, the national championship, and a steady flow of contributors to the NHL remind me that MSU hockey is still relevant.
