My interest in next years team is definitely a great deal higher than it was during last year. Can't wait to see how quickly they can turn this program back into the winner that it should be.

I'm hoping to get back for at least 1 or 2 games next year as well. Hopefully the schedule will cooperate.

Did I see somewhere that Hamre, Director of Hockey Operations, was let go too? I'm curious cause I know John a little.

His position has posted, so perhaps he wasn't let go but re-assigned. Hard to say at this point.

Slight change of topic: what other non-UW specific forums do you guys post in? Buckyville? 247? Elsewhere?

I'm a subscriber on Badger247. Best money I ever spent. Not too big of a hockey crowd, but I like to post hockey stuff, and once in a while a decent convo will break out, like the current coaching search.

If anyone is into bball and football recruiting, 247 is definitely the best site.

The position was posted the same day as the coaching jobs.

Coverage....This was the first year of having no daily beat writer. Punzel wrote some nice articles for both the women's and men's teams, but he is not the beat writer. Bucky's 5th Q never really replaced Chuck/Andy either. I was in discussions about helping out on that site, but I just didn't think I had enough time, and I didn't considering how deep I dove into the women's team this year, I'm glad I didn't. It's nice that Andy B got a job with UW, but it's hardly a journalistic endeavor, his employer mutes him. I am confident Andy B will get the scoop on the new coach. As others have said, Twitter is the place to find the breaking UW news, so in that respect, I don't really miss a beat writer. I do miss the awesome analysis Chuck/Andy did.

The future is really exciting right now. Let's just hope BA doesn't screw this up. It's still very possible he can. He has made bad coaching hires before.

I'm pretty confident the Godfather is outsourcing for info for the new coach, and I would be happy with any of the guys mentioned....I'd just like to see Oz.

It's amazing what a little hope for the future can do. It's becoming much more clear to me Eaves didn't lose his job just because he lost games, but because he became far to toxic to the fans and had drawn to much negativity for the future to the program.

Boy, seeing Schmaltz and Boeser on a line together in Cincy really stings.

100% agree! What could have been.....

I find North Dakota to be as easy to hate/respect (I think those two things go hand in hand) as almost any other sports organization.
 
Re: Wisconsin Hockey Vol I: Dawn of the Fifth Age of UW Hockey!

On the topic of the coach announcement - I definitely want them to wait until a little after the men's basketball season ends, if they have a decision by that time. You may as well maximize headline space and hoopla/fanfare by spreading it out.
 
Re: Wisconsin Hockey Vol I: Dawn of the Fifth Age of UW Hockey!

Posick hinted on Twitter that we should know the next head coach next Thursday or Friday.
