Nice =D>
I know Joey had been working with the team quite a bit, particularly toward the end of the season. He should be able to inject excitement for hockey throughout the association with his name recognition.

Curious if Wesley applied at all. I kind of figured he would slide right in as the new head guy

Wesley has too many irons in the fire right now and decided the timing wasn't right for him. At least that is what I understand.

Any chance Aus surfaces in Roseau? The Brainerd Dispatch makes it sound like he wants to keep coaching.

I know I am getting old, but those seem like a couple of young, inexperienced coaches for those teams. I wish Stocker the best of luck, but you have to wonder about the state of the Cathedral program when they aren’t attracting a bunch of premium applicants.

Looking at the remaining Jobs open the Big 3 left would seem to be

Lakeville South- Loaded but will have internal dynamics

Chaska- Youth program is stacked who will take the upcoming program

Roseau- Tradition and still some good pieces

With STP programs starting June 1st has anyone had any insight on these 3 jobs they seem to be the top of the 20 so far listed?

Yes I believe so, but haven’t seen anything official from school so figured it was just rumor as of now.

Good hire, good guy.

I know there was a group of parents banking on Peltier getting the position and sending a large group of 08's there....curious if this changes things.

*I would venture to guess Westrum's ties to Breakaway were more appealing than Peltier's ties to SDP in the NW metro?
