Re: UNH Off Season Thread 2011
This is basically a lateral move. It’s interesting that a person who is a Associate Head Coach for 18 years …in a area where he is from…..and his mother works at UNH…..makes a move like this. Was there a promise of more at Denver in the future……

I would love to see McCloskey come back over to the Mens' program.
Other preferences would be Glenn Stewart (UNH alum making big contributions at Merrimack), Pat Foley (unless Northeastern is a done deal), or Chris Serino (long shot)...

Re: UNH Off Season Thread 2011
The issue here is this is not a lateral rule. He will double his salary by going to DU. I would hardly call that a lateral move. UNH has to be careful they dont get caught in the ice age. They have not been progressive with their program. UNH is a product of their own success, they are close to having the lowest paid coaches and budgets in Hockey East. The problem is they are at the top of the standings every year and administration looks the other way and this could be the start of a slide unless the school wakes up.

There was a news story not too long ago that Dick Umile was the highest paid state employee in NH...he has also won the school two HEA titles, I doubt the school overlooked that in his contract negotiations...

Double the salary?….where is that published….I would have no doubt there was some incentive regarding salary was given but it hard to believe double. Also I was referring to the job being a lateral move.

Ask around. He was making 62K at UNH. Providence and Lowell assistants making over 100K on new staffs. He should leave. UNH better figure it out and soon.

Hey watcher. Welcome back. Are these people you think would be a good fit or people in the running?

Tremblay would be the best get imo. Former goalie too.

Re: UNH Off Season Thread 2011
Im very familiar with his resume, thank you. Just wondering why in that individuals opinion he would be the best bet of the bunch..aside from what is written on his resume. Especially when you have a professional head coach, a coach at one of the top prep schools in the country, and a coach who has helped resurrect a terrible program and build them into one that is arguably stronger than UNH is at the current time despite not having the same class of facility, budget, resources, or tradition to work with.
All have nice resumes, so I'm wondering what sets one apart from the other...to make that kind of statement one would have to have some intimate knowledge of each candidate, no?

The goalie coach for Sean Tremblay's NH Jr. Monarchs is Rob Day (http://www.thegoalieguy.com/introduction.html).
Day's students have included Brian Foster, Jim Mello (Dartmouth), Brian Billett (BC) and Casey DeSmith (UNH). If Tremblay replaces Lassonde, maybe Day would become UNH's assistant "volunteer" goalie coach.

The school is in serious financial trouble at the moment. All the programs got money taken out of the budget and other schools seem to be capitalizing on this. It's a shame.

Just got back from two weeks in Ireland and the Lassonde move is one of the first things I see in my in box. This is a big loss for UNH. Lassonde is recognized as one of the top goalie coaches in the country and his work with UNH goalies in the past ten years has been outstanding. In addition, his network when it comes to tabbing goalie prospects has been invaluable to UNH. He is going to be missed big time. I can only hope that Umile was not blindsided by this (I doubt it) and had time to think of his next step. The timing is awful considering that the season starts in six weeks or so.
I do believe that comments about the finances of UNH contributing to this move are spot on. UNH is in dire financial straights both campus wide and within the athletic department. The state's support of UNH has never been particularly good and with the economy the way it is and Tea Party types now in control in Concord, I don't see things getting better anytime soon. Lassonde has been around long enough to know where things are headed. He has been sought after for a long time, both as a head coach and assistant. When you step back and observe the landscape, it is not surprising that he made the move.
Did not know Foley was headed to Northeastern either. Curious move I'd say.

Trembley is not the right guy. You need an experienced recruiter with connections in both USHL and BCHL, not a recruiter who is not well regarded by those two leagues, which he is not. USHL and BCHL do not like EJ coaches and orgs as they try to hold kids back and have intentionally screwed them in the past with showcase events. Not saying him in particular but his org and the EJ is looked at as a joke by the two key leagues UNH needs to have success.
