Prediction - Holy Family will be open soon.girlshockey4ever wrote: ↑Mon Feb 27, 2023 7:36 am Well it's that time of year again! Post em when you hear em!
For evidence in favor of my theory, please see Podein at BSM and Burgen at Chisago.girlshockey4ever wrote: ↑Mon Feb 27, 2023 8:07 am Interesting. I know I haven't been a fan of Randy and his theatrics on the bench. Do you think it's because his team has been in the section final for the last three years and he can't get past Tonka? I saw his daughter graduates that might be a cause to move on.
Coach had a good run! Section final is nothing to scoff at. That said with his daughter graduating, likely time to move on.jg2112 wrote: ↑Mon Feb 27, 2023 8:03 amPrediction - Holy Family will be open soon.girlshockey4ever wrote: ↑Mon Feb 27, 2023 7:36 am Well it's that time of year again!

I have no insider knowledge, but one that would not surprise me is Warroad - 10 graduating seniors and back-to-back titles seems like a good time to pass the program to a family member.girlshockey4ever wrote: ↑Mon Feb 27, 2023 11:41 am Good points with BSM and CLHS. What other big schools? South Suburban might see some changes at AVHS and Eagan. South, North, Farmington, Eastview, Shakopee and Prior Lake won't see any changes. Some of the longest coaches around been at those school (not prior lake but she did a great job building that program in a few short years.)
The more I think about it those coaches in the SSC most have been around for at least 15 years or more. Some more than 20!
I don't see that happening this year.jg2112 wrote: ↑Mon Feb 27, 2023 2:07 pmI have no insider knowledge, but one that would not surprise me is Warroad - 10 graduating seniors and back-to-back titles seems like a good time to pass the program to a family member.girlshockey4ever wrote: ↑Mon Feb 27, 2023 11:41 am Good points with BSM and CLHS.

I don't know, Warroad can reload pretty quickly. For evidence of my theory see Bartz, Kirkeby and Stephens.jg2112 wrote: ↑Mon Feb 27, 2023 2:07 pmI have no insider knowledge, but one that would not surprise me is Warroad - 10 graduating seniors and back-to-back titles seems like a good time to pass the program to a family member.girlshockey4ever wrote: ↑Mon Feb 27, 2023 11:41 am Good points with BSM and CLHS.

If Persian leaves EP already, that'd be a damn shame... He is a great human being and the difference in both the locker room and the girls just getting back to having fun has been really noticeable since he came in. I'm actually hoping that if/when HF opens up, that might get that group of girls in EP considering HF to stay, but that's just me being optimistic...girlshockey4ever wrote: ↑Tue Feb 28, 2023 9:35 am Wayzata? Didn't he get canned mid year? Who was his replacement? Must have been interim? And what other Lake Conference coach are they wooing away? Get the rumor mill fired up!
Cassano (Tonka)
Cowger (Edina)
Huddy (Buffalo)
Olesen (NWC)
Persian (EP)
St. Martin (If you count hopkins as Lake Conference)
Just guessing, but I'd think Persian would be the target. Olesen maybe second.girlshockey4ever wrote: ↑Tue Feb 28, 2023 9:35 am Wayzata? Didn't he get canned mid year? Who was his replacement?

Maybe someone has better knowledge, but I don't recall too many times recently where a head coach bails on their current school to immediately take the same position at another. Usually there's a resignation and a year or two away from the high school scene, or a firing first.Puckguy19 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 02, 2023 2:49 pmJust guessing, but I'd think Persian would be the target.

I think you should make that call. The locals appear unsettled about something.elliott70 wrote: ↑Mon Feb 27, 2023 4:29 pmI don't see that happening this year.jg2112 wrote: ↑Mon Feb 27, 2023 2:07 pmI have no insider knowledge, but one that would not surprise me is Warroad - 10 graduating seniors and back-to-back titles seems like a good time to pass the program to a family member.girlshockey4ever wrote: ↑Mon Feb 27, 2023 11:41 am Good points with BSM and CLHS.

No inside info either but I can call him and ask.
I think the Woodbury gig is already open. Heard over the weekend that the Metro-South coach stepped down as well. We'll see what happens in WBL - my understanding is the Head Coach lives in Lakeville so that has to be a tough commute. Assistant Coach has a daughter in the program so I suspect that would be the logical transition.
Has the WBL girls job quickly become the most difficult one in the Metro? Four years ago WBL beat HM and went to State. Since that time:PhunnsieMcHockeyDad wrote: ↑Wed Mar 08, 2023 9:01 amI think the Woodbury gig is already open. Heard over the weekend that the Metro-South coach stepped down as well.

Player/Parent concerns. Discussed pretty broadly on social media. Recruiting, sportsmanship, mental health issues, player treatment, etc. Really the same thing that’s been discussed there for 40-50 years, off and on.Rocketwrister wrote: ↑Wed Mar 08, 2023 11:47 am Unrest in Warroad how? Due to graduation or are there other things going on?
