    Re: D3 2017 Offseason Thread: Coaching, Conferences, Etc.

    I've updated the original post with the contributions from GTown and GoalieDad32.

    I also saw today that King's College is trying to get off on the right foot by seeking a FT assistant.

      The King's college assistant looks a lot like a GA under a different title:

      "Bachelor's degree and college playing experience preferred. Review of applications will continue until the position is filled. This position provides a stipend, room and board, and six credits per Fall and Spring semester (not required). Interested applicants should submit a letter of interest, résumé, and three references...."

        Just noticed Nazareth College is looking for Women's head coach. Did I miss that? Anyone know when their program starts?

          To my knowledge that is a fairly new posting (new to NCAA.org as of Friday) and there's not been an official announcement of a Naz Women's Ice Hockey program. Looking in their archives, Naz's version of the release from 2016 about joining the UCHC mentions them as men's hockey only. This may be a new program starting up....

            ...in the 2018-19 season, that is if they're smart and want to do things right by giving the new coach the 2017-18 season to recruit a team. If their plan is to start next season they would be setting themselves up for a very tough start to the program because that wouldn't be enough time to recruit enough quality players since so many will already have made commitments by the time a coach gets hired.

              I don't think there's any chance of 2017-18 season for a Nazareth women's program. I'd put money on 2019-20 before I'd think they would make an attempt at playing this year.

                Why did you completely skip 2018-19? That's the year my money is on. A D3 school isn't going to put out 2 years of a coach's salary before the program starts playing.

                  The SUNYAC has already rejected SUNY Canton's application to join the conference as a full sports member.

                    I was being in rhetorical that as unlikely as it would be to have 2 years of preparation (though LVC did about 18 months albeit with one coach for both genders), that would be more likely than trying to put something together for this coming fall. I agree that if this is what it looks like, Naz would be starting in 2018.

                      What LVC did was a complete joke and an insult to the women's game thinking a guy with zero experience in women's hockey could actually recruit and field a half decent team. This season's results prove that. The players he recruited were so bad the coach left after just one season. Now they are worse off than starting from scratch because they now have a crappy reputation. Guess who's probably doing the recruiting again now while they search for a new coach?! Brutal situation!

                        I've heard the WIAC schools are close to working something out with a current conference that would also include 3-4 other institutions. Meaning, those 3-4 institutions would be leaving their current conference. Nothing would change until the 2018-19' season though. It's just a matter of time before the west has a major realignment.

                            Looks like NEC is looking for a coach. Anyone hear what happened to Kehoe? the posting is on the AHCA website but no news release on their website....yet.

                              So if I've got it all figured out correctly we're looking at 63 total D3 teams in 2017-18, so 9 teams for the NCAA tournament, and then in 2018-19 the total goes up to 65 with the addition of Suffolk and Nazareth for a 10 team tournament field.

                                Nice recap!
                                The only fly in the ointment is that Nationals don't automatically go up to 10 teams, they have to put a proposal forward and vote on it. Which I'm guessing means no sooner than 2019-2020 for the 10th team.
