On behalf of Roseau Rams Hockey. We would like to thank EGF for hiring Scott Oliver as the head FOOTBALL coach. Thank you!!! You will be missed greatly. :roll:

Great choice by the Green Wave. State titles follow Oliver wherever he goes. 8)

He was an assistant coach at Roseau and did play in the CFL. He's got some good football experience.

I am pretty sure he was an assistant at UM-Crookston for a while as well for football, a pretty good hire for EGF

I just got done talking to one of his assistant coaches from Roseau. I'm pretty sure Crookston didn't want him and Roseau was sure glad to see him leave. I will give it a couple years and EGF will be saying the same thing.

Digger, give it a break . . . carpet boy isn't a reliable source. By the way he was the Head Coach at UM-Crookston in football and hockey. State Champion in Football (Glyndon/Felton), National Champion in Hockey (UMC) and State Champion in Hockey (Roseau). Must be a poor coach. 8)

Roseau is just glad he has moved on. :lol: The 2007 Roseau team was the worst Roseau team ever to win a state title.

I played intramural hockey at Moorhead State with Scotty. He was a poor skating neanderthal at that time. I still have the caved in face mask from a cheap shot punch he threw while I was skating past their "bench".

I really can't comment on his coaching ability but I was not convinced he was such a good person as a college student. Perhaps a little roid rage from the football muscle. Who knows? People do grow up and change and perhaps that is the case with Scott.

By the way, I did keep right on skating after the punch. May not have survived a real confrontation with this guy and really had no appetite to give him a couple more shots at my head.

The carpet boy has informed me that he will promote a Roseau Street Brawl. It will be held in July during the Hockey Reunion, between the Legion and Memorial Arena. I will represent the Legion Mafia vs. The Big Red Dragon (if he has the guts to show up) in the main event for the evening. All proceeds will be going to Roseau Youth Hockey.

Not sure I've ever met a "good person" who would own up to attending Moorhead State. By the way, call intramural hockey at Moorhead State what it was ~ BEER LEAGUE! :twisted:

I'm not necessarily a huge fan of his, but if 2007 was the worst Roseau team to win state, than wouldn't that make him an even better coach for still winning the championship? You know, if he was able to win the hardware with a worse team than other years?

Wasn't that last year's main event? :shock:

Remember all Oliver did was radio interviews while his assistants ran the team. Anyone from Roseau can tell you that.

And the year before too. Maybe this year he won't chicken out.

I think a lot of Roseau people were just jealous of his good looks, and easy going personality :lol: Also, they couldn't wait to get rid of Blaiser too.

Like I have said before he would make a good referee. Fat, can't skate, and thinks he knows it all. :wink:

Well, you managed to call the 10's of thousands of Moorhead State grads "not good people". Unfortunately, I'll open the door to you ripping a few thousand more by pointing out that our team was made up of BEER LEAGUERS from Concordia College and NDSU so rip away. All of our NHL careers didn't go as far as your's obviously. Still playing some beer league hockey today and loving every minute of it and haven't had to cheap shot a guy in the face the entire time to get back on post.

Congratulations on your NHL career! Just having one is better than my experience. I just dislike the term intramural. Just be honest, beer league tends to evolve, at times, into thuggery and buffoonery. :shock:

This Doug Mckenzie guy is a joke, one of those old guys from Roseau that just sits around at the legion all day talking PLEASE BAN ME about people. I would say Oliver did a pretty good job with good assistants around him to bring the Rams to 3 tournaments. That 07 team might of been pretty bad, just gives him more credit.

im from roseau never had a problem with the guy but putting a 9th grader on elite 1 to score brownie points with the dad is going way to far in my book. if the league had any integrity at all it would have put a stop to it.
