That’s a better resume than anyone coaching either iup team. Not arguing - Cal doesn't have the coaching smarts to outcoach anyone. I can assure you they have no clue there how to manage a tight game. Just roll out the preferred players with no regards to matchups etc. Which is why they can't beat SVC. SVC can actually coach and send out the correct players for a given situation. CalU will continue to go down burning out their top line and the 2nd line and zero strategy. They had enough talent in 23 to overcome the dunce level coaching. Not so much anymore. Last season SVC was rolling all 4 lines. CalU burned out their top 2 lines and barely played anyone else. Thus the dunce level coaching and zero strategy. Strategy would involve sending out players to counter the other teams good player(s). Cal throws out the next line (well, lines 1 or 2).

The D1 Players flunked out of D1, they aren't getting enough scholarship money or NIL, or they are getting rewarded. My guess is more #1 or #2. Cal does not have a hockey alumni base to fund that sort of thing. No local club hockey players are getting NIL money or athletic scholarship. Also, please don’t pick a WPA college/university based on club hockey programs! Edited September 8, 2025Sep 8 by stickboy

If you want to turn it around and assume whether he's "left the nest" or was "babied" to attack me, go ahead, because I dont really care about you or your petty statements. But for anyone who happens to read this and is looking at the IUP hockey program, please at least consider what some of the other posts have mentioned about the program. That's what I thought this forum was for anyways... Anyone on a hockey forum complaining about their kids college hockey in ACHA (which I'm not bashing) is a hockey mom we have probably seen on livebarn at some point on a "lowlight". Sorry that's just the way it is. Have no idea who you are nor do I care but the whining is over the top.

Team one bounced out of the chma playoffs during the second round. Season over early again. (By far the weakest m1 division) This is what the daddy hockey you helped create gets the program.

March 22Mar 22 Author Look at the game log lol. Adrian rested their top 6 after the first period. I guess it’s better than the 12-1 beatings iup got each year. FYI - team two you bragged about didn’t even make the CHE playoffs. two shootings tonight at iup to boot.
