You are a stirring troll who just wants to add on to your posts dumping on Cav and the hockey team.
Congratulations also to recent fellow UCONN alum Will Moran whom I just found out is the Director of Hockey Operations at Holy Cross. Will was the Sports Director for WHUS in addition the voice for UCONN Hockey games on the radio.
WOW you have to chill before you give yourself a heart attack. I'm a big fan of UCONN Athletics and especially UCONN Hockey. I'm not a fan of how this team has been playing for the past 3 years under Cavanaugh nor am i confident based on what I've seen on the ice this guy is a legitimate D1 head hockey coach and I'm definitely not the only one who thinks that way. The Win - Loss record for the past 3 years more recently this year's record has been unacceptable. If you don't like my opinion - tough .
Reality: your boy Berard didn't get the job here. His last recruiting classes as head Asst for Bruce Marshall are the MAIN reason why this team is struggling. As far as me not liking your opinion I don't..the only time you are on here is to run your mouth about how bad a player is or to tell us how bad the team or the coach's suck. Go start your own Holy Cross fan board if you like your precious Berard so much..Truth be told he came in a distant 3rd to Cav and Gwozdecky. Get some thick skin if you want to post here..I don't know what to tell you.
Yeah educate us on the hiring process...you certainly have an axe to grind with Cav and are definitely Berard backer to the HILT! And also please educate us on what the UCONN Athletic Administration feeling's are. Again on here bashing both coach and a player....rest my case! @brasssbonanzaa you see this...you may be able to shed some light on this rumor about Dave Quinn.
The notion that Quinn would take the UConn job over the BU job he notoriously held out for is utterly absurd. If this info is true and Warde held out for Quinn and had to scramble when Quinn turned him down, Warde is an abject fool. Everyone and their brother in hockey circles knew Quinn was the guy to take over for Parker. The other two guys they "interviewed" (now NHL head coaches) were done more or less out of courtesy. UConn, nor anyone else, ever had a shot at hiring Quinn once it was known Parker was retiring. That's like saying East Carolina held out to hire Kevin Ollie and had to scramble when they realized he had no interest after taking the UConn job.
That's what I am trying to get at...my negativity towards Berard is a direct response to huskyfan44's continued bashing of Cav, his staff and the players.
You are way of base my friend Cavanaughs so called street cred as you call has been gone for a while since he became a head hockey coach. As many hockey people have said the same - Cav made for a great recruiter under Jerry but he is a $hitty head coach. I know that might be tough to swallow for you because you seem to be a Cavanaugh worshipper but I'm just telling you what people have been saying. The win/loss record speaks for itself ....
Why don't you tell us what is being said both in the college hockey community and at UCONN about Cavanaugh....and why Berard was a better choice to build this program in HE?
Yup he isn't a dummy...he knows that he upgraded a program that if you compared it to football was Patriot League quality to the SEC...and phased in scholarship numbers over time (which by the way they still have 3 more to add compared to the rest of HE). This isn't a blink your eyes and will be top 1/3 of the league team. The most of the kids on the roster last year outside the freshman would barely play on established HE teams. The kids are young compared to he competition...a 17-19 year old kid vs a 20-23 yr old young man. He knows this is not a sprint...
I follow the team as much as possible but I am not up to speed on all this but why are the amount of scholarships phased in?
I'm not too sure..but I think it was to spread the cost out. I know they had to add women's scholarships as well. They are at 15 this season...rest of HE is at 18. They will be at 18 next season.
