Good to hear. The kids in the purple sweaters need a coach. I trust they will hire the right fit for the kids

Pitoscia has been a little outspoken about Randolph but have to give the man credit for standing up for what he believs in. Pit's a good guy but heard he may have more problems than just finding ice. I guess his budget last year for his bantam team was over 35k and it is under investigation right now. The saga continues over money and east hockey. Go Jacks!!

Didn't you hear? Pitosha jumped Randolph's ship about two weeks ago. Called one of the other candidates for the job and pledged his 100% support. Talk about standing up for what you believe in?? I don't think it matters to Pitosha. He will say and do whatever it takes to serve himself. Saw Scott Johnson--the outspoken father of 2 players and a half--Gamst also talking and suporting the same candidate. Now what do you suppose he wanted? Just wanted to make sure that his the new coach knew who his sons were?? This is a joke!! Randolph supporters don't care about him--only what will serve them best.

Is this the same guy? Who is he?

Same guy ok. sounds like he's a Duluth East guy? Applying at Cloquet. Maybe to have an opportunity to beat Randolph on the opposing bench. Not sure just trying to get a picture here of what I'm looking at.

Pitoscia has been East's Bantam AA coach for years. He and Mike are both good guys, but they don't see eye to eye on various things. I'm not sure Pit wants to "have an opportunity to beat Randolph on the opposing bench," so much as move up to high school hockey at a tradition-rich program like Cloquet. At least that would be my guess.

Thanks for the info duluth guy. Ps. I've talked several times to the Bantam coaches for East. Well, once, in rapids for playoffs last year. They seem to be a great bunch of bantam AA coaches.

You realize these quotes are from 2003 when Randolph was removed and Pitoscia was outspoken in favor of Mike Randolph? Also, 35K budget being investigated 14 years must not have been an issue if he's still the coach now. Make sure the information being shared is accurate.

Sorry about that. I'm an idiot and a huge fan of the kids. I just didn't know anything about him. Did a google search, and all that came up were these old posts. I do remember this guy and Jaimie jarring several times at Cloquet/East Bantam AA games the last couple years. It was intense and great hockey when they matched up. Ps. I watch a ton of CEC hockey from squirts on up. I'm out of control, which most people know

You can wonder. That's fine. You could just ask the kids of CEC hockey from youth to high school boys and girls. Former and current players. Or people who've observed me with the kids.

I was this (hold up two fingers pressed together) close to starting a poll on how long he'd last in Cloquet. Didn't want to pin another thread, however.

Kudos to CEC hockey for taking their program back and saying, no more, to the haters. Their will be defections, - bye bye. I'm just happy the board and new AD said yes and took the program back. Angry people scream really loud, and good people trust the system. Again, I'm an idiot. Just my opinion.....

No, we were looking for the best guy available, the best guy for the program, the best guy for the kids,” new Cloquet athletic director Paul Riess said. “We had good candidates all the way around.

Interesting--congrats to Smalley, who has long done a decent job with small numbers at Denfeld. Hard to question his qualifications.

One hopes he gets the benefit of the doubt and can unite the program. But anyone who found the old regime "too defensive" probably won't be too thrilled with the new regime, unless Smalley changes his approach substantially now that he has more talent to work with...
