Tigers may be the youngest team in D1 next year with 18 Sophs and Frosh. But this years freshmen (10 of them ) all played regularly and well . The incoming freshmen are very strong and Gadowsky is a great coach. In a few years they should be great but I expect them to be very competitive despite their youth next year.

Re: Princeton 2011 offseason
After losing our Coach of the Year this week, I truly feel your pain. You have to believe however, that this job will attract a lot of highly qualified candidates. It is no doubt a blow to the players, but with the right person at the helm the foundation that has been laid will remain intact.

Thanks Wholin- you put it into perspective. I really don't blame Gadowsky as he gets to start a program from scratch with a huge budget. He will be able to recruit blue chippers with lower academic standards. He and Leaman are losses to the ECAC.

Re: Princeton 2011 offseason
Penn st. is getting a high quality individual. He will do well. But to suggest Penn State has similar academic standards to Princeton is simply not true. Princeton is constantly rated the top university in the nation by U S News and the hockey team has an Academic Index that is so high that Gadowsky had a small pool to recruit from. He won't have those restrictions at PSU , and will be able to get the athlete that he couldn't get at Princeton.

I wonder how many other coaches view the ECAC as a stepping stone to jobs in other conferences. I can't see Schafer or Gaudet looking elsewhere as they are alums of their respective programs. From a Harvard perspective, we're more worried about Amaker and Murphy seeking other jobs given their success in the basketball and football programs. Especially Amaker.
