I am hearing Hastings is open but don't have confirmation but did hear from a friend that lives in Hastings the coach is out

Lakeville South is now officially open.

Anyone have access to the article on hockey hub?

We have our first hire - Woodbury has hired AJ Bucchino.

Any names being brought up about any of these vacancies?

Can someone explain the downward spiral at Chaska? Man, they were rolling for a while and once Snuggerud left they fell off hard. I thought Cooke did a decent job keeping them afloat but now they are just bleh. Sounds like an ideal spot for kids looking to play and a coach to bring them back to the mix.

You can add Little Falls to the list...

And after 1 year, River Lakes is looking for a new head coach again. Add them to the list.

Chan and Holy Family coaching staff has a daily presence at Breakaway - a ton of high end kids go there. They've also lost kids to Shako and Tonka thy last 4-5 years.

Yes - Armstrong/Cooper is officially open. Crazy deal. Casey was doing a helluva job in year 1.

[headsupsticksdown]

And he's an alumn too right? Lemme guess what the problem was? They've got some decent talent on that team so it should be interesting.

Actually - no - that wasn't the issue for once!

[Green and White Fan]

Andy Lundbohm is back at the helm in Roseau.

[headsupsticksdown]

Dave Shute at Chaska. Ex Richfield/JFK head coach and long time assistant at Minneapolis. Hopefully he can get the Hawks going again.

Sounds like they didn't want him back, which is odd. Who they gonna get to fill that hole??
