Yes. It conflicted too much with her job.

Was it Gunderson? I hear that guy can teach any kid to score goals. How about Ike? Or are we hearing a callback for Rendle?

If that's true that would be a big lose for the Andover program!

I confirmed this with an Andover parent, yes they are getting a new coach.

That is crazy he is a great coach and really involved, I hope it was his choice to step down and he was looking for something else.

Park of Cottage Grove just hired one of their assistant coaches who has been there for the past few years- Steve Morse. He's the father of the starting goalie, who I believe will be a Sophmore this year. Big youth program, but the AD has two strikes from the last two hires he made...hope this isn't strike three. Steve's a nice guy, but being a parent/coach, especially for such an important position seems extremely risky to me.

Don't know any of the parties involved but from personal experience......pretty rare that a parent coach is the right move....especially at the high school level!

Parks former coach was an excellent coach who had to resign for health/family reasons. To call his hiring as a strike against an AD is not fair.

Being that she is already the starting Goalie I would think it should not matter that much, unless blaming others in a loss is an issue!
Still I am not one who is crazy about parent coaches at the HS level.
I prefer a coach with no ties to anyone in the community just an open mind going in. Hence No favoritism!

Apparently it works OK in Roseville...I think Hanna Brodt does alright and Vic seems to keep winning.

He has been with the local program longer than anyone, a youth board president, an ACE coordinator, a tireless advocate for girls hockey (locally and with MN Hockey), is a level 5 coaching graduate and has been a consistent performer as a coach at every level he has been at and given that, all that, he understands the "core facts of what it takes to be a truly successful high school coach"... Being involved with the youth program to not lose local talent, driving development at the youth to get a deeper pool of talent, participation and visibility at the elite levels to both source talent and insure participation of core players to drive and focus their improvement, and most importantly he has the support of nearly every parent in the program because he understands how to manage them and make them feel valued.

In time people will see as he settles in as a head coach and develops his staff (he already has a elite goalie coach in house) that this program will assume the level of excellence that has alluded it for so long.

No, I am not a parent, nor do I have any relation to this coach.

Darn, I did not realize that Park of CG hired a Saint.

Seriously though, Steve Morse should do OK. I agree that Park should have been a better team than they have been in the past. He should get a boost, for awhile, with South Washington splitting up. His problem will be that Park of CG does not have very much new housing construction from which to draw new and young players having lost most of it to East Ridge (which should be the dominate team in that area in 4 or so years).
