    He'd certainly fit into Alaska. While I don't watch enough of NMU hockey to fully determine if they are dirty or not, I'd want my team to steer away from Kyle. While his "success" is admittedly dreamy, nothing is going to change until the program gets enough money funnled into it. Coaches (all kinds of caliber) have come and gone, and nothing has changed. Again, doing things the same way and expecting different results defines?
    Just to be clear. My disinterest in this team became of the Uni's disinterest. Without the success of the hockey team, the other teams would not be where they are. Way to pay back the hockey team. **** UAA.

      Brush did better, take away his two WCHA seasons and did even better. Kyle is a career sub .500 coach, last five years under .500. You could easily argue his teams have fared worse in his second half at NMU. Certainly worse in the nWCHA. Hiring a coach on the down (and not just with the law), no thank you.

        I wasn't advocating for his hire at UAA, BTW.

        "According to NCAA, the (UAF) hockey team used ineligible players in every game played from the 2007-08 season to the 2010-11 season. Over that span, the wins and ties will all become losses. 4 wins and 2 ties came against rival UAA".

        UAF is 56-86-12 vs. UAA.

            UAA's hockey budget is not as low as you keep insinuating compared to many of the medium sized programs. We had a recruiter who is no longer with UAA tour Europe last year scouting, think of that cost. From what I saw, money spent with zero results. What I see, the alumni have never been able to hire a good coach who is also responsible for his coaching staff. I have seen good talent at UAA for years, just bad coaching!

              The alumni didn't hire Thomas. Many wanted Corbett until the alumni raised a ruckus and convinced the powers that be to reopen the search for a coach. I think the decision to hire Ciocco was a bad decision. Brown was 3-18-1 this season. It will be interesting to see what kind of recruits he gets for them next season. He never had ANY coaching experience prior to coming to UAA.

                  So if I get this right, an assistant coach who wasn't hired until after this year's recruiting class was completed, and most of next years is done as well is a bad hire because the team has won one less game this year than last?

                    I have no clue if it was a bad hire for Brown. It was a bad hire for UAA. With the record Brown has, Josh has his work cut out for him, like at UAA. As I said, it will be interesting to see what kind of recruits he gets for them NEXT SEASON.

                        Show me some reasons why it was, and who hired Ege and Mantha?
                        Alaska Dispatch .... Doyle Woody
                        UAF made the kind of hockey history on October 10th 2015 that no team wants to claim – the Nanooks became the first NCAA Division I victim of Arizona State.

                          Don't forget Mitchell, Brown, and the smalls who when given space and time are dangerous. The Renouf's, Jackstadt, and Leudtke have all impressed me at times.

                            True, but he isn't personally responsible for all of those players coming to UAA, from what I was told. We need one or two pure goal scorers like Matt Bailey. Jackstadt works his tail off every game. I didn't think he was D1 material his rookie season, but he has proven to be one. Maybe my expectations were too high, but considering what prolific scorers the twins were in juniors, I was disappointed in them.

                                Mitchell was smart to leave, Brown is getting better and starting to play well, Jackstadt works his tail off, the other three you mention not to impressive for the amount of ice time they were given.
