Message: [QUOTE="brasssbonanzaa, post: 593494, member: 794"] Probably won't be a major component to anything, but hiring Gwoz is a VERY clear sign that UConn is serious about being a player in hockey, which is quite important to a handful of B1G schools. For those who don't know, Gwoz is one of the all-time winningest coaches, won two titles in 04 and 05 at Denver, and was inexplicably fired at the end of this year for seemingly no reason. To the point that other major coaches in the sport publicly stated how shocked and confused they were. Hiring him would be a very, very big get for UConn. Again, probably not going to tip the scales, but if it'll get the likes of Minnesota, Michigan, Michigan State, and Wisconsin to look a tad more favorably at us, it's a plus. [/QUOTE]
