      If a coach leaves, a player can be asked to be released from his LOI. Most schools grant the release rather than having a player on the team that doesn't want to be there.

        I wrote that...the answer is that he asked for his release and it was granted...the question is did he ask for his release before or after speaking to Mel and Michigan.

          If Joe was the recruiter for the team with Mel, then he's also to blame. I remember seeing Joe and Billy in a bar in Minnesota and we were talking recruiting. And Joe bragged how many guys they had offers out there to. He said If we get them all, big deal but if we get one then that's great for us. Mel did wonders for Tech and you guys turned on him so fast.

            The good news it is only about three weeks until the Huskies and their "thin" roster head down to Madison to thump the Badgers on their own ice in front of a half-full Bi6(7) crowd. Can't wait.

              Yeah, I'm taking this little anecdote posted by a likely troll account with a huge grain of salt...

                  No, the majority of the sentiment is due to the professed love for Michigan. If there is one hockey program I cannot stand it is Michigan.
                  I will always appreciate what Mel did for Michigan Tech, but he has chosen his path. We support our team.

                      Hey Badgerice... Talk to anyone around Houghton or on these forums. No one turned on Mel. He did wonderful things for MTU hockey while he was here and is very well respected, but this is a new season and he is not the MTU coach. He is now the coach of a team that many on these forums have disliked long before Mel was there and will continue to dislike while and after he is gone. We had a recruiting mess when he left that either: A) Mel would have had to deal with if he stayed or B) The new coach would have to deal with. Joe very well COULD have been part of the recruitment mess, but he IS the one that dealt with it.

                      Now, it isn't surprising that some of Mel's recruits want to go play for Mel and I agree that there probably was tampering to a degree, but ultimately that is a huge grey(try to prove it) area for the NCAA. You may know better than me since you know his family, but my assumption is Pehrson probably was told he would have a spot at UMICH by someone before he asked to be let out of his LOI (tampering) or he asked to be let out of his LOI cause he didn't like Joe (which I doubt). Either way, If he didn't want to be at MTU then good for him and I hope he has a great hockey career.

                      Lastly, I will finish by saying that MTU has their new head coach and we are behind him 100%. The Mel days are over. I refuse to cheer for UMICH and that means their head coach by default. Mel will always be loved in Houghton, but it is a new day in MTU hockey and we are gonna cheer for what is best for our program.

                        If NMU is having this conversation about a possible Potulny move to Minnesota, I'll be very happy. It would be a very strong signal that goals have been achieved, just the same way I'm thrilled for Joe. He left NMU for a better opportunity that turned into a head coaching job. Wish him nothing but the best.

                          I hear you, but Michigan is Michigan. If Mel left for State, not the same level of distaste for his new team.

                            So true. As a noted anti-Mich fan, I certainly can see that. As big a win as it was was for Mel & Shieldsy to beat UM in the GLI, a win over the Ann Arbor college this year may be even bigger for the Tech fans!

                              I just quickly scanned the thread and didn't see it, but I probably missed it. I am working on getting the non-conference schedule for the league typed up so I can follow it during the year and am wondering if the first round matchups for the GLI have been announced?

                              Thanks!

                                They played the Skunkheads last year so they will play State this year.
