Personally, I would have liked to see Pionk or Jago at Eastheadsupsticksdown wrote: ↑Thu Jun 11, 2026 9:22 amI would've liked to see Pionk at Denfeld, but Superior is in a much better situation number wise and they got a steal getting him on the bench across the bridge.
I agree but that was a while back. From what I heard Pionk did throw his hat in the mix after Randolph was ousted. When he was helping out at Proctor it was a perfect fit as I didn't think he really wanted the spotlight of a HC job anymore which surprised me when it was announced he got the Superior job.east hockey wrote: ↑Sat Jun 27, 2026 11:35 pmPersonally, I would have liked to see Pionk or Jago at Eastheadsupsticksdown wrote: ↑Thu Jun 11, 2026 9:22 amI would've liked to see Pionk at Denfeld, but Superior is in a much better situation number wise and they got a steal getting him on the bench across the bridge.

Not so fast, my friend! According to the Duluth News Tribune:

"Duluth Denfeld coaching saga not over: An external school district investigation of Hunters’ boys hockey coach Dale Jago “inadvertently” failed to contact one person who came forward with complaints, according to a statement from the district."
The article goes on to state that the person who wasn't contacted had the same issues as the others who were interviewed, which leads me to think nothing changes and Jago will be back, but you never know.
Nice going, Duluth ISD 709.
(For the record, I'm a Jago supporter.)

Nothing further has been reported in the media, and there's no buzz around town. I'm guessing no news is good news for Jago.Puckguy19 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 08, 2026 4:30 pmOr is the investigation ongoing?Puckguy19 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 27, 2026 11:21 amHas this been put to bed, yet?Duluthguy wrote: ↑Tue Aug 11, 2026 9:19 am
