Yes. A sad day with Esse and his staff resigning. *sighhadenuf wrote:Hey Kniven....what's the scoop?
I've got a Hamilton that says it is a parent issue.
Are you going to stop being a fan or what? The program isn't over....kniven wrote:A tribute to my CEC Lumberjacks hockey. Memories will last a lifetime. It has truely been an honor and privilege serving the kids of Cloquet, Esko, and Carlton since 2012-2013.

As an alumni and speaking to other alumni, I believe it is true.karl(east) wrote:At this point, all I think we can confirm is that Langenbrunner is out; Esse has not officially resigned or been driven out. At this point.
From the start, I was skeptical that Langenbrunner and Esse would stay on rosy terms through Langenbrunner's time as a Cloquet parent--though it has sure blown up quickly.
Neither of these men are the sort who take things lying down, either. We may be in for quite the saga.
I'll always be a fan of the team in purple and Minnesota high schol hockey. Esse asked me to be part of the team in 2012. Esse is stepping down so I am going to as well.Slammer wrote:Are you going to stop being a fan or what? The program isn't over....kniven wrote:A tribute to my CEC Lumberjacks hockey.

My understanding, as of last night, no paper work has been submitted. Nothing official until that has happened, and the board has accepted the written resignation.gitter wrote:As an alumni and speaking to other alumni, I believe it is true.karl(east) wrote:At this point, all I think we can confirm is that Langenbrunner is out; Esse has not officially resigned or been driven out.

News paper said it is official. Resigned this morning. Will be really interesting to see how this shakes out. They have a talented bunch coming up that I expected to rattle a few cages.Schotzy wrote:My understanding, as of last night, no paper work has been submitted.

Kniven - as an alum - I respect your decision and would do the same! Tough day for Cloquet hockey.kniven wrote:I'll always be a fan of the team in purple and Minnesota high schol hockey.

Without knowing all of the inside facts, your article seems insightful and well balanced. Great job as usual.karl(east) wrote:My take: https://apatientcycle.com/2017/05/13/exit-dave-esse/
Right on the money Karl. The next 3-5 years were looking very tasty indeed. Nobody knows now though. I predict instability and chaos. Early departures and several coaches coming and going depending on the talent. I once knew somebody who came into a lot of money. Turned the guy/friend his extended family into greedy and unhappy people. His kids I believe are on their 4th mother now. The kids are greatest though. Unconditional love as always. Do their best under the circumstances.MNHockeyFan wrote:Without knowing all of the inside facts, your article seems insightful and well balanced.

Good for Northern hockey? Meaning good for East, Rapids and everyone else in their section because the jacks would be in the box for bench minors every single game? JL at the helm would not be good for northern hockey or Cloquet hockey. Guessing you are another outsider who is star struck and easily influenced. Just because someone plays in the NHL doesn't mean they are good coaches.Slammer wrote:I'm hoping Jamie Langenbrunner is the new coach. It would be good for northern hockey.
I agree. JL has no control over his temper and would make a former Greenway coach look like a choir boy.jacks85 wrote:Good for Northern hockey?

Why? Whatever he was doing the kids responded. The pee wee AA AND Bantam AA teams did very well. Kicked out of 1 arena/ game as a youth coach; it's not like he was all the time as its being portrayed here.hadenuf wrote:What he said.
