It was an awsome experience. I goal judge for pretty much every home game. I was the goal judge on the end without seating for that weekend. It's the end I always goal judge on.

Goal judge......I've always wondered what the point of it is with a ref having to call the goal anyway. Can you enlighten me?

Well I can't speak to other rinks or other levels of hockey but our main job is to just be a second set of eyes for the official. An official could be screened from the play by any number of things. At the D3 level there are no cameras on the nets for review. I've been asked by officials a number of times what I have or haven't seen when a coach questions their call. I've also had an official who couldn't get into a great position for the play and he made his initial goal signal off of my light. At the end of the day we are mainly just another tool for the officials incase we are needed. Beyond that, I give the opposing teams information about how long it is before they take the ice, warmups/before each period. Also, i relay other gameday information they may need. if they need some other kind of assistance while off the ice, possible a trainer or something.

I've also wondered why we still have goal judges. They can turn on flashing red lights all they want, but it's not a goal until the referee says it is. And in D-I the referee doesn't even consult with the goal judge on close calls; it's all about the video review.

Makes sense when you don't have video support for the ref. It must be hard not to get too distracted with the gameplay.
 
Sad to hear about Martha. I recall at MJ's number retirement game he was pushing her around in their suite in her wheelchair.

Really gutted Pavs (and Suter) are out. They are not getting any younger.

Read up on the new assistant coach. These 3 guys are knocking my socks off. It's hard to think they are more qualified than G2O, but objectively they may be. Oz lost a step, TG ended up being a washed up NHL coach and DG quickly moved up the ladder.
 
Happy Vegas won. Sucks for Pavelski, but outside of him there isn’t a thing worth liking on the Stars. All I need is a panthers Cup win and I’m happy.

First payment went through for season tickets in the last week or so. I’m so excited for this season!

I will have tickets both nights again this year. Friday by the student section, Saturday at center ice / second level. It's a nice mix. Hoping the crowds will come back as I expect the intensity level at games to be higher.
 
Any way we can get an updated projected recruiting roster on the ole Google Doc?

Im still very much fired up about the new coaching staff. I also wonder if we will have an official Goalie coach as the 3rd assistant coach on July 1 or at least before August.

However, I am tempering my expectations until I see with my own eyes. Call me Doubting Thomas. Although part of me feels college hockey is moving towards an arms race and its going to be harder for the small schools to compete...which places WI in a good position.

I've wanted to take this over from gwhinwi, but frankly haven't had time.....

That sucks. Funny thing is, with the new staff, there's more reason than ever to come to UW. If my sons were college aged, I would have advised them not to come to UW with TG at the helm. Now it's all gas all the time.

Stramel, Whiteclaw, Cleveland and Schulz have been invited to the NHL Scouting combine.

C'mon- you guys are way ahead. Half the coaching staff is from Mankato. You're getting three starters from the portal and flipped a couple of commits.
 
I believe the strength and conditioning coach is coming from Mankato as well.

I do wonder why Moravec wpuld flip though. I genuinely feel there may be a bit of a battle going on with recruits though among coaches....those that can coach and expect max effort and dedication to develop as a team vs those that are perceived to have strong NHL ties and can develop individual talent.

There is so much more exposure for these young kids now that its an interesting dynamic.
