Add Albert Lea to the list as Roy Nystrom retires after a 5 decade coaching career.

Long-time @LaCrescentPuck coach JP Piche (@JeepPiche30) stepping down after 25 years with the Lancers program. He'll be missed
Great coach. Even better person. Cares about his players and the integrity of the game
two of the nicest guys you will ever meet in coaching. He is/was the soccer coach too I believe.-

Sad to see Nystrom go. He ends with 705 wins, which is second-most all time to Lorne Grosso...that's 89 ahead of Willard Ikola, who is third, and 107 ahead of the next-winningest currently active coach, who is fourth. What a remarkable career, particularly in a place where he has not been blessed with heaps of front-end talent all that often.

This program has fallen very far in the last decade. I'm certainly not blaming it on the coaches, in fact I know nothing about any of the coaches since Trebil. I'm partial to the tradition of hockey in Richfield, whether it be the Spartans or Stars, so I'm hopeful the next coaching staff will be able to bring the program back to relevance.BP wrote:ndirishfighting wrote:Holy Angels- does anyone see Cephis or Hillen taking the reigns or is there other names that may come about?
No - I heard entire staff is done and have opened up the search outside of current staff.

I would have to add that Holy Family was also instrumental in taking students from AHA. HF is a newer school in the western suburbs with a nice facility. AHA is an older school, that I am proud to be a part of, but it is much easier to travel 10 miles from Shakopee and other western suburbs that it would be to travel into Richfield. But until today I figured the slump would bursting. A new coach means a slide, but hopefully not far.

Pure speculation, does H.A. take a run at hiring Bernie? They have gone the non-traditional route before with Trebil and it worked for them.
No idea if this is something he would be interested in, but it would be a bold hire.

Re: Holy Angels
Interesting take, but Trent was a Bernie guy, so maybe some hard feelings there. Who knows though.Dangler82 wrote:Pure speculation, does H.A. take a run at hiring Bernie?

Re: AHA
They only lose a couple and will be *Loaded with upper classmen. Their top tender is also returning.blueblood wrote:3 or 4 seed next year? Really?
Not with Edina, Wayzata, Cretin, BSM, SLP, and now Blake projected to join 6AA next year.
They played Cretin to a 5-6 section game and I could see them in the mix with CDH and BSM next year... And any of the top teams are beatable at times as we've seen..
Good luck HA!
I believe that the school wants to move to A. All the talks I had during the season with people that have the insight want to move to A. By school size they should be in A, but I am one of those people that feel all privates should be in AA. But there is also a no compete clause in my book. They should drop down for a couple of years and allow other schools (Blake) take their spot in the section. I do know that there are a couple of freshman that played their bantam programs staying in school at AHA and playing next year. Also some freshman coming from Mpls also.
As far as coaching they have a teacher at AHA who is a coach at another school in the metro, but he has been pasted on twice already. He would be a good fit, already knows the players and has a similar schedule, WHich the players need to get back to.
