    And that right there is the root of the problem.

      It is what it is. You want the money, show that you deserve the money. Everyone else in UAA athletics is successful except hockey. We have no big money alumni, Jay Beagle is probably the most notable and I'm pretty sure he doesn't how to write a check, and sponsors aren't going to latch on to a 4 win team, so they have to say to whatever departments they're losing $500K in budget because the hockey team needs an increase?

      Everyone involved with UAA and everyone outside says "spend more money" and yet no one is writing the check to actually pay for it.

      Is it career suicide? Probably. Was Tech in that same boat until Pearson came along? Absolutely, so I wouldn't be throwing stones around.

        Tech started their investment and commitment into the hockey program a few years before Marv came to town and hiring him was the next step in the process. If it had been career suicide at that time, he would not have taken the job.

          But Tech HAS made that commitment. So has Bowling Green. So has Minnesota State. Bemidji too. UAA still has a couple recruiting classes that are virtually devoid of first line D-1 talent to through before they can even hope to start getting better. For the next few years, my Lakers and UAA will be battling to see who might make the playoffs. Doesn’t matter who you hire, you’ll be lucky to be battling for a playoff spot in late February. Just like us.

            The good news for those 3 candidates is they have pretty much a clean slate for recruiting and I’m sure they have guys they like that are still out there that didn’t make the cut /didn’t have room for at Denver, Lowell and Providence. There isn’t an giant list of over commitments to dance around.

                Just I predicted might happen on Monday, Matt Jurusik will join MTU next year as goaltender to compete with Beydoun and Munson:

                      Nicely done! I appreciate the work you put into the column.

                        Is there another Pheonix or Jamie ready. Is Pietila the real deal. I am a bit surprised at the signing as he will be dueling it out with Beydoun for #1 his senior year.
                        I really don't mind if all 3 play, but I would really prefer to have a solid #1 next year. Munson played lights out, rebound control, confidence, square to the puck in the playoffs were so remarkably improved from the season.
                        I think he goes in as #1 on the depth chart, will be interesting to hear the next coaches show for insight.

                          My concern with Packy is his nonchalance. He seems to be caught off guard and out of position at times. Maybe that is a maturity thing, maybe I just don't know squat about goalies...but that's what it looks like to me.....it sounded like even Joe was a little concerned about his maturity when he talked about Packys practices before the regional...

                            We need to see what Packy brings next year. Maybe the puck looks huge to him, he comfortable, and has "figured it out"? With this signing and if Robbie improves this off season, he (Packy) is going to have to fight for the net minder job.

                            Credit to Joe and Staff for bringing in quality recruits.

                            Hahaha! The Marv joke is funny!

                              any thoughts that Dawson Kero, goaltender, might be coming to Tech in a few years?

                                He's a State Champion, has an Elite Prospects profile, and a good backstory. So, maybe?

                                Needs a couple years of seasoning in junior hockey though.
