        Just reviewed the list of NCAA champs...BC has been in the title game 8 times in the last 20 years...I don’t want to hear any crap about parity or x and y have changed since Badger Bob. York’s tenure is a stark reminder that the greats just get it done.

          Jeff Sanger has left the program as a volunteer and is replaced by Brad Winchester.

          Didn't know about Sanger's sons health issues. Wish the family all the of best in dealing with it.

            Maybe Tony Granato and company are not good enough to get it done. Maybe Tony was just too preoccupied last year to do his job at UW. We will find out this upcoming year I suppose.

            • So.....no goaltender coach for arguably the most important position on a hockey team. This season just keeps getting more and more frustrating.

              Some players have been talking about their 6th place pick in the pre-season coach's poll. Don't TALK about it, DO something about it!

                Really want to share everyone's optimism here... but I'm just not feeling it right now. Really hope they prove me wrong this season. Come on, Bucky.

                  This is borderline dereliction of duty by TG not to have a goalie coach. Seriously. I'm sure Winchester is a great guy and all, but who the blank is gonna freaking help the goalies? This is just nuts. I am just totally shocked. Barry better asking some questions. Plus another Badger Alum? Are there not more qualified non Badgers to volunteer? Miller vs Strobel still bothers me. No goalie coach. That will do them wonders on the recruiting trail, eh?

                    I hate to be negative, but I agree with Tim here. This has been arguably the worst position on the team for 4 years or more and now no dedicated goalie coach. yikes.

                      Exactly!

                      Also, I know he’s older but would Howie consider coaching for a year until they land a permanent goalie coach?

                        Love Winchester but he’s knows how to pot goals, not stop them. This is a serious issue and it will bite them in the ***.

                        What about Richter or CUJO on an interim basis? They certainly don’t need money at this point. Carey?

                          They filled the volunteer spot with Winchester, there's no opening for him or any goalie coach right now. Just INSANE!

                            Hard to be optimistic with news like this. I am sure Sanger has been distracted with his kids health, but you have to have a dedicated goalie coach, right?

                              I don't want to be negative either, I want the lads to win every game by 10 goals and I support them 100%, this is about TG's effectiveness as a CEO of a college hockey team, which to me is now officially under question. I sure hope the media doesn't give him a press pass. Reputation and experience and heritage are nothing without a plan that will yield success.

                              Trying to be positive, I sure hope him being there 100% of the time will pay dividends this year, no distractions of finishing his degree or the Olympics. Not having a goalie coach may torpedo the plus of him being there all the time.

                                College hockey needs to get the NCAA to permit another paid coaching position. As a volunteer only position, it is going to be much more difficult to consistently fill the job with a quality goalie coach. In football, they have coaches and analysts tripping over themselves. Doesn't basketball have four paid coaching positions? And that team is half the size of a hockey team. As long as hockey is limited to three paid coaches, the lack of a goalie coach will be a perennial problem. Is there any easy way to determine how many Div I hockey programs don't have a goalie coach? I know Wisconsin's dilemma isn't unique, but how common is it to have no goalie coach?
