    I love Walt as a person and all that he's done for the program, but this is the worst 5-year stretch the program has gone through. It's hard to just sit by and not grow dissatisfied with the results.

    Cuck the Fubs... Let's Go WHITE SOX!!!

        The football coach was just let go so you gotta wonder about Walt's status if he doesn't turn the ship around this season.

          I agree that NMU has some quality players on the team this year and that's the perplexing thing about their record being (3-8-1).... Players like Shine, Hanson, Payne, Klimek, etc are top notch upperclassmen players and the young Freshmen Yaremko, Craighead, Peters, Beaulieu, Voltin, etc are very good young players as well.... NMU Soph Goalies Tolvanen & Israelsson and Soph Defenseman Vermeulen are also pretty good so it seems NMU has some decent players but it's not translating into wins this season.... NMU seems to have some talent on this team but for some reason they aren't winning games so it's been difficult watching them struggle so far this season....
          I am not one to beat the drum to fire the coach. But if what's said up here is true, then even Walt has to start questioning his coaching thus far. I mean, the coaching pedagree at Northern is two coaches, Rick and Walt. Walt learned under Rick, and Rick was okay, but we may need to move on beyond the Comley era.

            The real question is are they willing to put the chips ALL IN. I don't get that feeling based on a few decision makers I know.

                Just got back from the Sanford Center in Bemidji. We had a thin crowd due mostly due to 9" of snow and 40 mph winds. For you Cat fans who are discouraged, it was very good game. Only 1 2-minute penalty and that was on NMU. Well played game. I sported my 1970-71 old gold/green basketball NMU letter jacket. Not many Cat fans to talk to but still enjoyed my duel allegiance communications tonight.

                  Wasn't any better tonight. Cats lose, 5-2. and even then, it wasn't that close.

                        Tough weekend. Bemidji is a good team... hopefully the Cats can get a set of Wins this weekend at home. However, with the holiday weekend, the crowd will likely be very thin. I hate to beat a dead horse, but I think the conference changes a few years back are taking a toll. The only real "big" weekends for home hockey now are the MTU games. On top of losing, having a more than 1/2 empty ice arena cant do much for motivation.
                        Go Cats!

                          Team motivational issues, financial issues, recruiting issues, and even a good Northern team is not lileky to draw big crowds. If they start losing money on Hockey, it could be over.

                              Winning solves lots of problems and quickly. Getting to winning is key.

                              Questions before dumping it all on Walt. Does he get/have enough tools to improve the program enough? Why would a recruit come to NMU vs say Ferris State (add any school you want here)? I choose Ferris as they made a big run 2012 and surprised a few people last year.

                                Even when the team was off to a good start last year and 7-0-1 at home, they still only drew 1800.
