I know, I am worried about this too. He is missing recruiting time. I wonder if he was planning on Brandt and then Brandt got the Capitals opportunity. Either way, he needs someone else out there recruiting besides Knott.
 
It appears that most of the key returnees (Cruz, Stramel, etc) are secure at the moment and with a large incoming class that is already signed the recruiting situation (in the short term) appears to be OK. I would rather have Coach Hastings bring in the right guy instead of just a guy to have someone our recruiting for 2024 and beyond.

What always intrigues me is when a new coach comes in they need to decide which recruits that may have committed 2-3 years ago will fit their system. College hockey is different than most college sports when it comes to recruiting and it has to create some challenges for a new coach.
 
Paul Kirtland who was the other assistant at Mankato, going to OSU to replace Strand. Interesting as the hockey world turns....
 
Shout out the boy Suter for turning the puck over and not guarding his guy out front on Vegas' goal late in the 3rd period. His game has gone so far downhill.
 
TG making some money as an analyst on the NHL network. I'd love to hear what he has to say about what he sees.
 
All of the new coaches and player additions have me excited about the future of Badger hockey. I'll be making the trip down for a few games this year whenever I'm not working the games for my UWSP Pointer hockey team.

You’re in my neck of the wood! The championship game at KB to complete the one and only D3 undefeated season was the best hockey experience of my life.

Agreed. Great hire! Now we know why he was waiting so long to make the hire!

…I think Hastings is a lot like Fickell. And is bringing the excitement to the team that Fickell is bringing back to football. Hastings knows what it takes to win and he seems to have an IT factor which is why all of these recruits followed him over, Knott follows him and now Oliver heads to Madison after a stellar season in Fargo.

I could not have dreamed a better scenario for Wisconsin men’s hockey. And who knows, maybe Oliver or Knott take the reigns down the line whenever Hastings feels he’s done.
