UNH Wildcats 2017 Off-season: The Clash Question

NCAA watcher said:
Mike Souza will not be the youngest NCAA Head Coach when hired next year. Northern Michigan just hired Ryan Potunly, born in 1980, a year and a half younger than Souza.

Potulny has been an assistant at Minnesota for 8 years, and served as USA's assistant at 2 WJC championships. He recruited two Minnesota teams that went to the Final Four. As Northern Michigan has a somewhat similar footprint to UNH (former hockey power, not in a major city, recruit from BCHL) I will be interested to see how Potulny does.

And, arguably Potulny's goal in the 2002 NC game was more important than any of Souza's post-season goals.

I left out playing career, which is pretty irrelvant to coaching ability -- otherwise Shawn Walsh would be the worst coach ever.

I'd put Souza's 99 Final goal up there, along with his assist on Mowers' 98 shortie vs. BU.

Oh, I realize that. But, having some of one's own highlight film as a player should help with recruiting, at least if your name is not Shawn Walsh. :)

UNH
Umile, Richard C
HEAD HOCKEY COACH
1.00
248,240

This is from UNH salary schedule for year ending June 2016. I do not think he makes the difference from hockey camps etc to get to 457000+.

I'm afraid to ask what the "1.00" stands for. Hopefully it's not his old UNH GPA.

Yeah, but Walshy had lots of innovative recruiting *ideas* that covered for his lack of a personal highlight reel.

Durham is 90 minutes from Boston. Where do you land 90 minutes from Marquette on the UP? The Soo?

Tonight's the night we find out who's gonna lead the team for next year. Here's HR's prediction: Marks is the popular choice (hoping for Eiserman and will post immediately as I'll be st the banquet)

Interesting! I had been on HR's page but JS as a C works for me with CM getting the A. As HR noted I too would love to see SE get the other A.
As I have watched this raising senior class I have not seen a lot of either rah rah or just talking, encouragement or directions etc. Let's just say not obvious leadership qualities or inclinations.

We await word from Ref.
 
Re: UNH Wildcats 2017 Off-season: The Clash Question

Re: UNH Wildcats 2017 Off-season: The Clash Question
