    I love how connected SLU and Colgate are...........our beloved coaches, Terry Slater and Don Vaughan, both graduates and DV once an asst. at SLU and now our alumnus Mark Morris at the helm. Mark is a good guy. Your program will be fine.....and one to look out for going forward. Congrats on a great hire!

      With regard to the quote you are referring to from Got 6......the mistake you are making Maineiac is your interpretation of "our." In this case the "our" was many of the posters and Got 6 (certainly not all) on this thread. The "our" was not SLU, it's AD nor the Search Committee. Many of us still feel Morris was not the best candidate. However, what our suspicions were during the hiring process......are now proving to be confirmed by Morris's quotes in the Watertown Times article and elsewhere. A "national search" was supposed to be conducted to find the best coach possible to replace Carvel. What is clear now is that Durocher wanted Morris all along, and in fact called Carolina almost immediately to "ask permission" to talk to Morris and was given that permission. I have no doubt that Durocher and Morris were talking before that, and that Morris all along was Durocher's guy. Everything that happened after that initial permission.... including the so called "Search Committee" was nothing more than window dressing and a sham to make it look "official" and above board when in fact it was anything but. The only unknown to me is how Durocher (my guess is that President Fox was involved) got him through the HR approval process?

      How much of a search was really conducted? Search implies "seeking candidates and letting candidates apply." The first thing Durocher did was contact "his guy" Morris. There was likely no real "national search" for the best candidate. There was just enough done to give it the appearance of legitimacy.

          Which assistant was the primary recruiter under Carvel? Think it will change under Morris?

            He went with Carvel. Under Morris, I see this situation as a quagmire.
            I've been lost since 1989. I got a breakaway on a frozen river and have been skating ever since.

              While DeMichael departed with Carvel........it is my understanding that Mike Hurlbut has been the primary recruiter.

              Part of Morris's deal I am sure was that the admin said Hurlbut (who is a great asset) was staying.

                  And has been confirmed through one of the WDT articles. Hurlbut will remain in his associate HC role.

                    For those who haven't seen this in the Facebook group, here's a little thing I wrote about our star goaltender's place in SLU history after a mere two years...

                    After only two seasons, Kyle Hayton is already well on his way to being the greatest goalie in SLU history. In addition to the obvious competitive boost he gives the team, his stats really are amazing. He's on track to break every SLU career goaltending record other than winning percentage, and not just to break them, but to blow most of them away.

                    Currently, Kyle's predecessor, Matt Weninger, holds all of the SLU records for amount of work put in between the pipes. Matt has huge leads in appearances (132), minutes (7539), and saves (3409). But Kyle, only halfway through his career, has more than half as many appearances and way more than half as many minutes and saves. He's already in the top ten in those categories for entire careers:
                    - 69 appearances, 10th all-time
                    - 4230 minutes, 6th all-time
                    - 2061 saves, 8th all-time

                    And not only has his work been impressive in quantity, its quality has been the best SLU has ever seen. He could do significantly worse over his final two years and still finish with the school's best save percentage and goals-against average ever. His current numbers after two years:
                    - .936 save percentage (current full-career record: .920, Eric Heffler)
                    - 1.99 GAA (current full-career record: 2.38, Sarge Whittier)

                    He's amassed 8 shutouts, leaving him only one short of the legendary Bill Sloan's career record of 9.

                    In wins, he's currently tied for 8th all-time with 37, on track to surpass Bill Sloan's career record of 65.

                        Just don't criticize and you'll be fine.

                        I called out Kyle's golf swing and got banned.

                          Vic..........just go to Saint Lawrence Hockey Fans on Facebook........there should be a drop down in the picture to ask to join the group. Joe.....the administrator is much more tolerant of divergent views these days. Not sure how we would go about it but we'd certainly love to have you back on. Mike

                              I'm not sure I'd describe recent history as an increase in tolerance. But maybe if some of the current members brought it up with him, he'd reverse his decision. I would hope so.
