At this level and in this league kids gravitate to programs that will get them to the next level. Bergeron did an above average job of demonstrating he could not do that. Noreen has some street cred in this area. It’ll take time but if he continues to show he can get kids to the next level, it’ll work itself out.
tl;dr We hired a coach who knows how to coach.
Back to lurking.
Some families are sensitive…there’s one parent crashing out on Twitter calling out players that shouldn’t have been kept over their son 
All mentioned above I think, but a good write up.
Is this in the comments somewhere or on their own feed?
Too bad but understandable. Depending on what year the player is he might catch summer school and independent study and finish his degree.Players leaving early for Pros have done so.
She’s been going after Bonk in his replies which idk why people always attack him, it’s not like he makes these decisions😂
There were some valid points being made and I’d be confused and upset too…but why so publicly!?
Besides, the player is going to be just fine (if not better off) wherever he decides to go next
Seems to greatly over state the on-ice production of the junior class.
Waldron lead the way with 20 points
Dukovac added 10
The other 7 members of the junior class combined for 21
And play isn’t the only factor in decisions being made. We need a complete culture overhaul and who knows what’s happening off the ice with these guys.
I don’t want to be mean to anyone or put anyone down but if players, parents, friends, etc… want to talk about production and numbers I would argue there wasn’t any. Our top scorer was a grad transfer who put up 20 points. The top 3 point leaders on this years roster combined for 56 points.
To put that into perspective in Ryan Jones last season he had 49 points. Carter Camper had 57. Andy Miele had 71 points
This year the whole team the entire year had 63 goals. Ryan Jones scored 31 his best season here. Almost half of this years production. It takes the top 5 goal scorers on this team to meet that number combined.
We went 0-23-1 - do you think there is a “next”
Yeah, I think most or all of the kids not returning can help other D-1 schools.
Exactly right. Everyone should read Doug MacLean’s book. He was the CBJ’s GM.
I’ve heard this in similar versions hundreds of times, but he puts it best, and this is true across all sports: If the mom (or dad) is crazy, odds are the kid is too.
At this level people that matter in sports (scouts, coaches, etc.) watch the parents as closely as they do the athletes.
yeah Bonk, what do you know about reporting and journalism and such
good lord these people
EDIT: “Slovakians likely came from Slovakia” is an A+ line
Or Arby’s.
Yeah I was wondering what she was trying to say with this…did she mean Russians?? We have an influx of those coming in. Is she trying to accuse the coach of having Russian mafia ties or something 
If we had Russian mafia ties, I’m guessing we would be undefeated right now.
Like Bonk said there’s somewhere for everyone. Almost all our transfers in the last couple years found a home in D-1 and are finding some success there (and if you’re talking pro, we’ve already had 6 seniors sign somewhere and I could see 2 more coming).
Teddy Lagerback who was a scratch for us very often last season had more points than all but 5 of our skaters this season. Axel Kumlin has more points (21) than ALL of our skaters. Thomas Daskas ended his season playing on Michigan’s second line with a couple top draft picks. Alex Murray has quite literally 10 times the point production since he left Oxford. And don’t mention the captain of the B1G champions and two of the Penrose Cup champions.
Hate to say it but sometimes leaving Miami is what’s best for the player (@ canuck72…). Lots of our players just don’t look as good as they are when they play here. Begging for that to change now that we’re about to see some great players coming in. I believe in Noreen’s coaching ability to make that happen too!
