      I could have sworn it was a three team race with UND, maybe I missed something ...

      Hey, what does the guy’s mother have to say about the hire?
      is she on board with it too?

        I reached out to his mother, and here is her response:

        "Anthony Morando is an excellent choice for this position, and I am on board with his selection."

          You're mis-representing me. What I actually said was, "I wanted little Anthony to join the Priesthood".

            Yeah, always tends to detract from the message even if the sentiment is sincere.

              LOL

              it will be interesting to see how well they can rebound from a loss of such a strong senior class, plus Rooney

                Agreed. Roster shows 14 Freshman, 5 Sophomores and no seniors. Sounds like a challenging situation to navigate this year and the next few. But I think the program's moving positively under Crowell. I even choose to think the great team play of former associate Sami Reber's Edina girls last year reflects well on Crowell.

                Crowell just signed a three year extension.

                  I believe they have 10FR, 6 SO, 4 JR, 7 SR - their roster shows returning players in the same class as last season.
                  1 Freshman previously committed to UND, and SOPH transfer from UND not listed as well.

                      Well, that's a new one on me...a Degree in Non Profit Leadership.

                      Sounds like an oxymoron to me.

                      Reminds me of the old joke..."This is a non profit organization...it didn't start out that way".

                      Doesn't sound like it will come in handy at UMD because of the situation that occurred a few...well, you know.

                        8 more freshmen on the way in 2018 so far as well. 4 Forwards 4 D. Bulldogs are going to be young for a while it appears. Must have a bunch of walk-ons in 2017,2018 classes I would think.

                          Walk-ons?! At a D1 program?! I highly doubt it.

                            They had one or two 5 or 6 years ago.

                              Most of them have a couple, or at least kids who are getting a very small piece of the pie. Some of these rosters have had close to 30 players over the years, and with full rides for some of them, the money runs out before the numbers do. Especially some of the local kids will go that route if it was a school that they may have considered anyway had hockey not been in the picture.
