Originally posted by Shirtless Guy View PostWell I can tell you I have multiple sources that both Ellsworth and Brekke were offered the respective positions they're linked to. I'm attempting to confirm that Brekke declined after being offered...do I need to say that I know Ellsworth turned down UAA? I never looked into Carle or Mayotte because no one came to me with an initial report and I don't have any connection with either of them.
Hows that?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.

Originally posted by Shirtless Guy View PostWhat journalist publicly spouts their sources? Thats a great way to for sources to dry up...Michigan Tech never published their list of interviews, yet I managed to get the whole list...
Sorry, I'm very skeptical about what's going on. Little of this reporting is coming from places in Alaska (and the ones that are are just parroting others mostly) and it's following very similar patterns with fairly similar timing.U-A-A!!!Go!Go!GreenandGold!

Unless there's some major conspiracy to do this so we lose our programs... :|
I can't see that many people wanting us to lose our programs.

Originally posted by Shirtless Guy View PostLook, THG was preparing to tweet out the initial Brekke to Alaska news before CHN beat us to it...we were working on language and my life distracted us from being first, which seems to be fine now...I know it sucks with the way all of this is getting reported but it is the job of news to report what they find out. I might cover THG but no one that did any of the reporting for THG lives in Houghton yet we managed to outdo the Daily Mining Gazette on the coach search. Some of it is the nature of the outlets. CHN and THG are focused on college hockey while local papers are other things to worry about.
tl;dr I think everyone needs to pump the brakes and stop treating rumors as fact.U-A-A!!!Go!Go!GreenandGold!

Re: Alaska Nanooks 2017-2018 Season
There's certain things you don't wish upon your rivals ie cancer, serious injuries, and this is one of them.
Welcome to our hell?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.

Originally posted by Jimjamesak View PostYou’d be shocked then. There’s plenty of folks who resent both programs. Think of how many faculty and especially admins that go through the same dance every year of not knowing if they’ll have a job while the UA p***es away millions on two bad hockey programs (ok, one bad and one really bad)?Michigan Tech Legend, Founder of Mitch's Misfits, Co-Founder of Tech Hockey Guide, and Creator/Host of the Chasing MacNaughton Podcast covering MTU Hockey and the WCHA.

Welcome to our hell?
A. Find the leak and fix it.
B. Figure out why all these coaches are saying no, and fix that to the extent it can be fixed.“We offer no apology for our location at 64 51’21’’ north latitude. We are building for the future and we are confident that well directed effort and education are the forces which make progress possible”

Originally posted by Shirtless Guy View PostIn the process about the search last year, I heard a lot which I did not report including someone claiming that a candidate had been offered and declined. It didn't check out when I worked other sources. Sometimes the problem is spin by the candidates to make themselves look better. You have to use your judgement on how much you trust your source and how much you understand where everyone is getting their information. This Alaska situation is not good and its made worse by the news and how its come out. It's not really fair to UAA or Alaska because we don't know why. From what I gather, it hasn't been about salaries or support. I'm guessing its more about either program forcing assistants on the new coach and/or just ultimately deciding they didn't want to move to Alaska when it finally became time to sign the contract.U-A-A!!!Go!Go!GreenandGold!

Re: Alaska Nanooks 2017-2018 Season
Originally posted by Jimjamesak View PostSee you’re starting to confirm my suspicions with what you’re saying. My suspicion has been someone or multiple people are leaking incomplete information, everyone is running with it and now you guys reporting on it are being used to spin things in favor of the candidates (because both Universities are pretty quiet). Given that a) that you haven’t be able to nail down specific reasons why candidates turned the offers and b) the actual numbers that have been obtained showing no one is being cheap makes me wonder what’s going on in the media end of thingsJust 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.
