Lundbohm named Rams head coach
Moderators: Mitch Hawker, east hockey, karl(east)
The bio is missing something.
Usually, when you get your education at West Point, Uncle Sam has plans for you for a few years afterward. Even David Robinson and Napoleon McCallum had to serve a few years after graduating from the Naval Academy before picking up their pro careers.
This guy appears to have gone straight into pro hockey.
What happened? I'm not implying anything or trying to start something, but I am curious.

If they produce potentially pro athletes the academies will often give them dispensations from their service that would either defer or alter their active duty requirements. This is done with the rationalization that pro athletes or other public figures etc provide positive publicity for the academy that aids in recruiting.
I believe Robinson served in the reserves while playing in the NBA and did most of his "training" in the offseason.

Lundbohm names assistant coaches, you will probably recognize them.

Andy is well liked by the kids/parents and is the "local boy" all grown up...handsleary wrote:I have no idea why he would become the jv coach, maybe another son? idk not sureDoug McKenzie wrote:Scott Oliver gets the JV coaching job.
Was he forced to resign?
Probably...
The kids will have some good coaching under Lundbohm, Aaron, and Butsy...
Wish I had some high school eligibility again...

Dman didn't answer my question, "why did Oliver become JV coach?" but you did thanks. Although I didn't know he was a teacher.salol44 wrote:Probably because the thread is "Lundbohlm named Rams head Coach"why did you reply to these posts?

Why would he want to be the jv coach? Because he still has a teaching job in Roseau and he wants to be part of the program.
All Dman did was make a nice post about Lundbohm*, he didn't need to quote
