Re: Northern Michigan University Wildcats 2016-17 Season Thread: Gotta Get Up And Try
Originally posted by FloridaCat View PostLakeview arena prior to the expansion in the early '80s was roughly 3200 and after it was roughly 4400. I attended games from 1978 to 1990 and it was full most nights. Exceptions were the first weekend of deer season and Holiday weekends/breaks that were half full.Originally posted by potternmu View Post4105 in 1998-1999“Demolish the bridges behind you… then there is no choice but to build again.”

Based upon the WCHA scheduling formula, which would be a reverse of the 2015-16 sechedule, in conference, I'm pretty sure we travel to Fairbanks, Anchorage, Huntsville, Tech (2 home & home series), Mankato, Ferris & Bemidji. Home against Bowling Green, LSSU, Huntsville, Tech, Mankato, Ferris & Fsirbsnks. Non-conference home & home vs LSSU, at Omaha, vs Wisconsin at Green Bay. There will be at least 2 more non-conference games as well.Last edited by davyd83; 03-06-2017, 11:09 PM."The use of common sense and logic will not be tolerated and may result in fine and/or suspension."- Western Professional Hockey League By-laws. 1999-2000.

Shine should've made First Team WCHA IMO."The top three worst things I've seen in hockey? The invention of the trap. The invention of the morning skate. And the invention of the extremely ugly uniform."

Got this email just a few minutes ago from the NMU SID.
WALT KYLE NON-RENEWED
MARQUETTE, Mich. — Director of Athletics Forrest Karr announced a leadership change in the Northern Michigan hockey program Friday afternoon.
Walt Kyle's employment agreement will not be renewed, and a comprehensive national search for the third head coach in program history will begin immediately.
"Walt has played a major role in the most significant moments in Northern Michigan hockey history," said Karr. "I enjoyed working with him, and I am thankful that he always supported every program in the department. I appreciate his work and dedication to the hockey program and wish him well in all future endeavors."
Kyle compiled an overall record of 265-263-68 during 15 seasons at the helm of the program. He guided the Wildcats to six 20-win seasons and to the 2010 NCAA Tournament. He also coached two Hobey Baker finalists and five All-Americans.
Kyle played two seasons at Northern Michigan after transferring from Boston College and recorded 90 points (31g-59a) in 85 career games. He captained the 1980 and 1981 Wildcat teams that advanced to the NCAA Frozen Four.
After graduating from Northern Michigan in 1981 with a bachelor's degree in physical education, Kyle became a graduate assistant coach under Rick Comley. He was promoted to assistant coach in 1982 and held that position until 1992. He was the top assistant coach when the Wildcats won the 1991 NCAA Division I national title.

Originally posted by MOJO View PostLet the healing begin in Marquette and at NMU. It was pretty clear that the community lost both trust in the leadership and direction of the program. Hopefully a youth infusion occurs and the rebuilding doesn't resemble that of which occurred at Tech, over a 30 year span...
